This is the most recent information available; however, it may change as we learn more about the dog.

Maeve is estimated to be 6 years old. She is a purebred Golden Retriever who was a stray. She is spayed, almost up-to-date on her vaccinations (getting her last booster in early December). She is good with other dogs, seems to be cat friendly, and is a total Velcro dog. She is potty trained with free roam. She is currently living with our dog and they haven’t had any issues.

Maeve has anaplasmosis and Lyme disease. She is on doxycycline and has about 2 weeks left of medication. The veterinarian says that she’ll recover and be fine.

Anaplasmosis is a tickborne disease that is transmitted through bites of the deer tick. Symptoms are lameness, joint pain, fever, lethargy, and not eating. The treatment for canine anaplasmosis is the same as that for other closely related tickborne infections including Lyme disease: the antibiotic doxycycline. Many infected dogs are treated for 30 days. In the majority of cases, symptoms improve rapidly and the prognosis for clinical recovery is excellent.

Maeve is overweight. She weighs 95 lbs the veterinarian wants to see her at 70 lbs. With her illness and her weight, she has slowly started walking. She walks about a mile and is very easy to walk.

Maeve needs a family that will give her daily exercise and adhere to her diet. She loves people and will snuggle. She is a super sweet girl and wants nothing more than to be with her family. She enjoys her walks, car rides, and kids. The only time Maeve barks is when someone is at the door.

Maeve has a great personality--a mellow, go-with-the-flow attitude. She doesn’t seem to get excited, but does play with our dog occasionally. She could be the only dog in the family. She might prefer that because she wants all the attention she can get.

Today is Ruby’s one year Gotcha Day!  We love Ruby so much and can you say SPOILED!!!!!   Ruby is a happy, healthy (ok  -15 lbs. overweight due to her thyroid), silly, loveable, beautiful, friendly and funny to mention a few.  Thank you RAGOM and to all the volunteers for everything you do for these golden retrievers.

Today is my 4 month anniversary, so I thought I would share some funny things that have been going on in my life with all of you RAGOM supporters.  Shortly after Christmas on our nightly walk I stuck my head in the snow and pulled out this red doggy toy and claimed it as my own.  My mom was unsure if we should return it to the rightful owners but then had the talk with me about finders keepers so I still have it and it is my favorite!  My parents have learned that I can help carry groceries into the house, all I can say is where is PETA when you need them.   Also,  my parents had my DNA tested because my Dad was always teasing me that I had bloodhound in me – he hasn’t seen the results of the test yet so he is going to be surprised and then I expect an apology for all the teasing.  My Mom is always sprucing me up with bows and pretty girly things, which I love but don’t tell her I think so J .  I love my life and I am such a happy girl that sometimes I even show my teeth and make these cute grunty noises.  Well until next time – Ruby signing off.

Ruby checking in.  I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing.  As my pictures show I am great helper, the first is of me (Ruby) helping Mom clean the floor.  The second picture is of me snoozing on the recliner, which I have claimed as my own.  The third picture is of me sitting with my kitty fur sibling, who I terrorize every day J  I am doing really well and I love my Mom and Dad and boy oh boy do they love me!!!!  It’s only been a little over a week in my forever home so everything is still new but we are all doing very well.  Until next time – Merry Christmas

Love,

Ruby

Maeve here. Got some really great news and I bet you can't guess what it is. I've been adopted!!! I'm going to live with the M family. I'll have 2 feline fur siblings and plenty of hugs and kisses to go around. Thanks, RAGOM.

I also would like to thank Kathy & Jim Wika for sponsoring me in memory of their Golden Sydney.
