Regional Area: Central

Good as gold, Goldie is one glorious golden!

Aptly named Goldie and her mom Helen devote most of their paws-itive energy to visiting senior living facilities.

Winning everyone’s hearts with her own winning ways, she also brightens their days with her wide golden grin. Needless to say, she especially enjoys being petted and having her neck rubbed by any and all appreciative seniors. She also loves other animals, including her fellow Therapy dogs, and never was that more apparent than at the facility’s annual Christmas celebration.

She not only loves to play and stretch out on the bed, she loves to join her mom for golf cart rides and car rides. What Goldie doesn’t love, though, is lightning and thunder.

Now team Goldie and Helen look forward to more visits to more seniors’ facilities in the future.
