What a perfect day for 9 year old Guinevere, Gwen, to arrive to her GRRR foster home; the first day of Adopt a Senior Month!

Gwen is exactly what you would expect from a senior Golden Retriever girl, very loving and very needy.

Gwen gets along great with other dogs. According to the previous owner, Guinevere is fine with cats as well! In fact, we discovered after we pulled her from the shelter that she did live with another dog. We couldn't stand the fact that we left Gwen's sister Guiness there, so we ended up pullilng her too. We would love it if we can keep both these dogs together and would like them to both go to the same home. These girls are so easy, as they are pretty laid back. See Guiness on the next page.

Gwen is instantly a best friend to anyone she meets. Gwen's owner was having health issues and was no longer able to care for her and her sister, so she was surrendered to a shelter. Fortunately, the shelter is friendly with a GRRR volunteer who went the next day to get Gwen.

Gwen is on thyroid medication and is a bit on the "fluffy" side, so would like a companion who will help her shed those unwanted pounds. With the thyroid med and a high quality dog food, the pounds will not be hard for Gwen to loose.

No kids under the age of 8 years old with her adoption, only due to their activity level not being conducive to a golden girl looking for a retirement home! If Gwen looks like the dog for you, the first step is to read our adoption policies and follow the directions from there if you qualify.
