Giving Tuesday!
Celebrate by Giving on December 3rd!
David is a poster child, er, poster pup, for all the ways As Good as Gold (AGaG) makes a difference.
Found as an approximately two-year-old stray in the parking lot of a McDonalds, David came to AGaG via animal control whose vet found him to be “not in good condition.” There were concerns about liver function as well as potential vision and neurological issues.
A compassionate AGaG foster took him in and worked at gaining his trust and helping him feel safe. Being a true golden, David responded quickly. But there were still concerns about his health. Without regard to cost, AGaG aggressively explored his physical problems by paying for numerous tests as well as consultations with veterinary specialists in ophthalmology and neurology.
The good news was that his liver and nervous system were just fine, and the earlier concerns were likely due to the trauma of being abandoned. Once the trauma ended, so did David’s problems. However, he was found to have been born with congenital “blind spots” that occasionally affect his movement. But David learned to compensate, so he can now get around with little difficulty.
Within a few months, he found a happily-ever-after end to his story with a new family who have made it a priority that he will feel safe, happy, and loved all the days of his life.
