Allie 09-518 [1]

I would like everyone to give a BIG welcome to Allie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This wonderful girl has been at my home since Tuesday and is nothing but the sweetest girl in the world!! The original owners had to give her up since they were moving, and brought her to a shelter, well now she is in the loving hands of RAGOM! :) They kept her outside all of her life. They said she was ten, but when I took her to the vet, they believed her to be more along the lines of 8. And what girl doesn't want to be younger?!? :) She is a purebred Golden Retriever, weighing about 64lbs right now. She is taller though, and the vet says about 70lbs is perfect for her ;) She is a beautiful red color also. Love it!

When I picked up Allie from the shelter I noticed she did have some knots in her fur, I did not realize until I got her home just how bad it was! She had knots everywhere in her nice tail and on the feathering on her legs, so FD and I got the scissors and gave her a trim, and then gave her a bath. She was perfect through the whole thing. :) And now she is just BEAUTIFUL :)

This girl may be 8, but there is no way she acts like it! She has energy and is learning to play. Now how sad is that when an 8 year old Golden Retriever knows nothing about playing??? :( As I am sitting here typing this she is currently playing with a rope toy. How cute!! I do believe she will need a fence though. She is still a little scared from not ever living in a house and when we let her out we have her on a tie out and she is still a little afraid to come back in the house. So for right now I believe she needs a fence. This may change as she starts coming out of her shell more and realizing how good she is going to have it from now on! :)

When I took her in to the vet they did their tests and she tested positive for lymes. Now she is on some meds for 1 month and is in no way hurting at all. The pills will take care of it in no time! :) She does have ear infections in both ears, the vet figures she never really had her ears taken care of. Well they are getting the treatment now, and I already noticed she does not shake or itch at her ears as much! So wonderful!!

Now one would think that living outside all of your life, she would have problems with accidents in the house......well not this girl!! TOTALLY housebroken, not one accident EVER!! :) I mean that is how WONDERFUL she is!! She gets along with our cats just fine also. She was trying to engage our gray kitty into playing but he didn't seem interested. And all the resident dogs get along with her without an issue at all. She is the perfect all around girl! ;)

Just look at these wonderful pictures! Now how can you resist this girl?? Age is just a number! No need to look at that! This girl will fill anyone’s home with love and enjoyment!
