A Golden opportunity

Brandy is a big, sweet-natured Golden Retriever with a problem: his mistress, 92, is going into hospice and he is going to be homeless. Relatives of the owner are thinking of having him euthanized simply because none of them want him, and we want to do all we can to save him if possible.

He's 11 years old, but in very good health--no evidence of hip dysplasia--and has a sweet, playful and affectionate nature. Currently he has a yard to stay in, but his situation is not long-term and very soon he'll need a new home. He's had his summer haircut and grooming, has been well cared for, and he's happy indoors or outdoors. He has been with a doggy companion, but would be fine as an only dog as well.
