My story

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

My name is Avis and I am one gorgeous beast of a boy! I am a Great Pyrenees and Golden Retriever mix, about 4 years old. I have to tell you, before Adopt A Golden Knoxville saved me from a Kentucky shelter, life was grim. I was a good 20 pounds underweight and my body was full of scabies. But now I am healthy, at a good weight and a very happy boy. I love other dogs and I love to be petted. I am house trained and I will do ok in a crate. I probably need to go to a home with children over 12 years of age because I don't like being restrained. It scares me and reminds me of my horrible past. I love my toys, my bed and my two foster moms - and they take good care of me but I need to find my forever home. Is that you?

For more information about adopting Avis or another Golden Retriever or Golden mix, please go to our website at www.adoptagoldenknoxville.org, Knoxville to New England page.

NOTE: All of the dogs with Adopt A Golden Knoxville are currently being fostered in East Tennessee. We do not have a shelter or a facility where you can meet these dogs.
