My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

My name is Lexi and I am a 2 year old pure bred Golden Retriever. My family could not longer care for me so they called AGK for help. When I went to the doctor, they said I had a heart murmur and I needed to see a special doctor. So off I went to UT Vet Hospital so they could figure out what is wrong with me. Turns out I have a level 3 sub aortic stenosis. They gave me medicine to help with my disease and they said I can still run and play. I was REALLY relieved to hear that! I do get tired a little easier than most girls my age, but it does not stop me from romping and stomping with the best of them. I love people, dogs and cats - well cats scare me a little but I just leave them alone. (Good cat strategy I am told). So I am waiting for a special home where I can live a golden life. The doctor said that my heart was in good condition for my disease and with medication I could live at least a couple more years, hopefully longer! I do like to prove people wrong sometimes!

If you are interested in adopting Lexi, please start the process by filling out an application on our website at www.adoptagoldenknoxville.org. One of our volunteers will be in touch within 48 hours of receipt of application.
