My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
My name is Sophia. I am eight years old and weigh approximately 68 pounds. I hope that my story will grab your heart just like it did those of all of the folks at AGB. After I was surrendered to a South Alabama shelter, with a very high euthanasia rate, my plight was posted on the internet. I am so cute and appealing that the cyber community went into overdrive to save me. AGB received over twenty postings from across the South begging that I be rescued. I must admit I do look more like a Lab than a Golden, but when no other rescue stepped up to the plate, AGB was determined that I not die in that shelter. They worked with another rescue and volunteer drivers, to get me transported to Birmingham. One of the drivers who teamed to transport me reports, “I am in love with this sweet, sweet girl, she was perfect in the car - it crushes me to picture her in a shelter.” The folks I rode with said that AGB will not give up on me until I am healthy and safely in a forever home. You see I am heart worm positive, but I know that the angels with AGB are going to be treating me so that I will be ready for that new home in about a month. I just know that I am going to end up one of their proudest success stories. While I will have to spend some time in vet care until the heart worms are resolved, there is nothing stopping you from falling in love with me right this minute, meeting me, and filling out the paperwork so that we are ready to begin counting down the days to our forever life together. It doesn’t hurt that the holidays are right around the corner, and you know that it would be an awesome thing to have me by your side for the New Year!! Please think about how much this could mean to a pup like me - Much love to give, Sophia Please visit me at www.adoptagoldenbirmingham.com or call 205-937-2339 or email camcowen@charter.net
