25-045 Cali Gold  is a 10-year-old female Golden Retriever who was abandoned by her owner and left with his parents – they surrendered her to  AGR . How lucky was Cali to find the perfect forever home with an adoptive family. There is a tremendous amount of affection as they share their journey of having  Cali  become a part of their family:  We have only had  Cali   for a short time and we are still learning about her, but one thing for sure...she LOVES TOYS! When we  first met  Cali , she made us a bit nervous with how she greeted our  Lucy  and  Fozzi ; she was all snarly and kind of scary, but we found out it is all for show. Once she gets past being snarly and loud, she is all wiggles and a very sweet girl.

Suddenly, she started barking and snarling while looking up at the tech! [The adopter] and the tech were so surprised and couldn’t understand what was happening. Lo and behold, they realized that  Cali  was barking and growling at a poster that was on the wall behind the tech! The tech actu ally had to take the poster down off the wall before  Cali  would calm down. Then the tech told  Cali  not to look around the room because the walls were covered with dog portraits!  Maybe  Cali  was just saying, “I need to be on the wall too!”

Here are some of  Cali’s  favorite things:  she loves resting in the sunshine, is our best  watch dog, has a fetish with taking tags off the toys, enjoys walks!  Her walk is the cutest, as she kind of sways back and forth.  You truly feel the tenderness and warmth her new family has for her! As you are reading the description her owners tell about her, just picture it!  She has an adorable face with a zipper stripe down her nose and curly cowlick on the top of her head.  The adopters are showing  Cali  every day that she is loved  and they are her forever home!  Thank you,  AGR , for bringing  Cal i into our lives!
