FOSTER UPDATE 7/2/2012
Hi, Traveler here. I’m just writing to let you know how I’m doing these days. Life has been really good since I became a MAGRR Golden. I’ve been living with my foster Mom in mid-town for about four months now.  We have a blast. She calls me her “silly velcro golden drop” because I just love to cuddle on the couch and watch movies. My hearing is not so good, but I really like to watch the pictures. I also know hand signals like come, sit, stay, and down, so not hearing so well isn’t a really a big problem for me.  A big raw hide chew on my doggie bed during the day keeps me pretty busy.  I also have a toy box full of soft toys, and I offer one to everyone who comes over. I really look forward to a little walk in the afternoon and love to play with my dog friends a couple of blocks over. Oscar, the Standard Poodle, is my favorite buddy. I like all dogs and even little children, but I do not care for cats at all. Getting brushed is also one of my favorite things to do in the afternoon. Sometimes we go to the park in the car. I’ve been trying to decide which I like better… the car or the park… because I just love short rides in the car! I have lamb and brown rice food every morning and evening, and I keep working on this thing called “counter surfing”, but it all just looks sooo good.  Everyone tells me I am a “very good boy.” I have a lot of friends, and I’d sure love to meet you.
Best regards,  Traveler

FOSTER UPDATE 2/16/2012
I have been fostering Traveler for over a month and cannot even begin to tell you how sweet and loving he is. He is approximately 7 but has the energy and playfulness of a 2-year old. He greets me with a stuffed toy every day when I get home from work. He loves attention and will sit next to you and raise his paw for affection. He is completely potty trained (had an accident the first day I got him, but no more thereafter). He does great all day in the house while I’m at work and would not do well in a crate. He gets along great with other dogs and loves to play fetch and/or play with his toys, go on walks and absolutely loves the water and being outdoors. He tends to be a counter surfer but we have been working on his manners. I also noticed that he has a bit of hearing loss. He would be great with a family that has a big backyard and other dogs in which he could run and play. He will be such a great addition to a family that can provide him the love and attention that he has never had, yet needs so much!

INTAKE REPORT 1/7/2012
Traveler came to us yesterday as a stray and he had been out on the streets for several days.  A volunteer went and picked him up and got him to us.  He is in terrible shape, and appears to be an older gentleman, 7ish years old.  He has fluid buildup in his chest area behind his shoulder blades which makes him look like he has wings, but our doctors will have that taken care of in no time.  He was so very sweet and loving and seemed to be happy that he was with people again. He rode great in the car all the way here.  He was very dirty and will get a much needed good scrub!  He is going to make some lucky family a wonderful new member.
