Avery

Profile

 From Aruba and the pups

 Merry Christmas Avy!  Love, Jayden & Maggie

Meet Avery! Avery is a 7 year old, female, golden retriever. She is honey colored and gorgeous! I would guess her to weigh in around 60 lbs. She came into RAGOM from a substandard breeding operation and has been used as a puppy producer all of her life. Despite her past life, Avery is extremely social, happy, and friendly! She eagerly seeks out attention from us and loves to be loved :) If this girl is awake, her tail is wagging! Avery knows her life just got a million times better! I told her being a RAGOM dog is as good as it gets :) She seems to be in good health too. Her teeth and coat are in pretty good shape. We will get her officially checked out at the vet today, but I am anticipating a clean bill of health.
 
Even though it was clear that she had never been in a house before Saturday, and she was very scared to walk on the wood floors and do the stairs at first... a little bit of gentle coaxing from foster dad (her favorite) and now 2 days later she is a pro! She was really unsure about the TV at first too... staring and barking. But she is getting used to that too. It is amazing how fast these dogs adapt. She is finally starting to pant less and I am very pleased to report that she ate her first real meal this morning.... a little canned dog food mixed in with her kibble did the trick :) yay! Avery has been spending her nights sleeping in the bedroom with the rest of the pack(2 goldens and a yorkie- all of whom she does excellent with!) and does very well. She hasn't even had a single accident and does her business outside very quickly and then comes bouncing back to you for more pets! She is very eager to please :)
 
Avery is a pleasure to foster and I can't wait to watch her continue to experience life the way she was meant to live it! We do have a very important matter of business... Avery might be pregnant. We will find out for sure at the vet later today. Stay tuned....
