ORPHANS OF THE MONTH

Stewart & Garbo

Stewart

Please meet two of our special dogs that arrived from Turkey. What makes them so

special? They both are tripawds! In other words, they have a leg up when it comes

to courage and spirit. They're still living life to the fullest, and as you can see from

the pictures, their very happy! They're very inspiring because they don't let it

bring them down; a wonderful quality to have to become a therapy dog.

THINKING ABOUT MAKING YOUR AGA DOG A THERAPY PET?

In 2020, AGA would like to increase its
contribution to society. Golden retrievers are
not only good pets, they make wonderful pet
therapy dogs. AGA now has a liaison with
Happy Tails Pet Therapy, the oldest and
largest pet therapy group in the Atlanta area.

If any of our adopters are interested in
hearing more about becoming a member of
Happy Tails Pet Therapy, please contact:

Heartbreak for dog owners: Popular breed more prone now to cancer

The American Kennel Club lists golden retrievers as the third most popular breed in the United States, just behind Labrador retrievers and German shepherds.

"Golden retrievers naturally love people," said Pauline Hoegler, owner of Golden Opportunities for Independence in Walpole, which raises the breed to serve as help dogs.

And the feeling is apparently mutual.
