and the fine staff at Hopkins Pet HospitalCasey is a lovely, gentle, great senior golden boy. He too has an unfortunate past to which we do not have all the pieces to, as happens a lot.  This great boy was found wandering the streets of a town in Nebraska. All by himself, no collar, nothing. Animal Control picked up Casey (no name at the time) and brought him to the shelter (major stressful place for a senior golden and he did not do well there). Ragom to the rescue! Casey was ‘broke out’ of the shelter, brought up here to Sioux Falls where he had a date at the vet clinic/groomer/boarding.  Casey has now been fully vetted. He does not have any major medicals. His thyroid is a little low and vet wants to see how he is in a ‘normal and healthy’ environment and real dog food! This will get re-tested again. He does have dirty teeth and they are worn down and dirty, so a dental is in the near future for him. His coat was not good at all----dirty, smelly, matted, poor guy. Casey has now been brushed, washed and trimmed up nice! He feels SO much better. Obviously looks great.  
The first that anyone can notice about Casey is his personality. He loves people and being pet. Considering where he has been.........he really wants and needs loving. Tail wags and is very content. He rode very well in the vehicle. He walks fine on a leash. Casey has a face that makes you melt. He is not a big boy, about 65#. Red. Casey even likes to shake! You can see his senior “frosting’ around that doll face of his. Considering the trek he has been on, and guessing prior circumstances, this is a gentle wonderful boy.
He has adapted with ease and while he loves all of the attention available, he does not demand it. He does not bark and slept on a folded quilt all night without any complaint. He is comfortable outside and enjoys just looking around especially when squirrels are in sight. A wonderful senior rescue.
