23-035 Cody  is a 5-year-old neutered male English Cream Golden. The owner became very ill and could no longer take care of the dog.  Cody  was being boarded at the Arrowhead  PetSmart  on Bell Road where he was surrendered to  AGR  by the daughter who had power of attorney.  Cody  had never been around children, dogs or cats, so we placed him with an adoptive couple  in Buckeye. This experienced Golden-owning couple have no children, no other pets and are home most of the time, so they could give  Cody  all the attention he had been missing. He is very strong, but our transporter introduced them to the Sidekick leash and  Cody  is now walking well. He is overweight at 113 pounds and needed the green bean diet. The adopter sent us this note: 

Cody  is a very happy guy. He now does tiny jumps and prances when we are  walking through a room. He has bonded very quickly to us. We gave him an ear treatment today that he did well with. We have cancelled social engagements for the next couple of weeks as we are unsure how he would do alone. We will be doing a tag team when we need to run errands. He likes to roam the back yard and bark at golfers who get too close to the fence. Several friends have come to visit and he immediately greets them all. All in all, we consider ourselves very blessed to have gotten him and we are more convinced than ever that he is the reincarnation of our beloved Reagan. Thank you again so much!
