Toby is a big, beautiful, young 2-year-old boy turned into Rescue by an owner moving to California who did not have landlord permission at his new place for a big dog. He arrived as just one of your typical unaltered and untrained teenaged-hooligan Goldens with a great big smile! He was placed with an adopter who renamed him Rhys. After an initial settling in period, he was neutered, had a dental, and was brought current with his vaccines. We know the adopter is going to enjoy having this goofy dog around! He wrote to update us: 

Toby – now Rhys – is a two-year-old male Golden Retriever whose family was relocating for work and were unable to find housing where they could bring their family member with them. Fortunately they loved their Golden enough to contact Arizona Golden Rescue to find Toby a forever home. Rhys is a delight. New to a home where he is kept indoors, he has shown himself to be a quick and enthusiastic learner. He is learning to walk on a leash and shows excellent manners. He’s now learning not to jump on his dad and to respond consistently to vocal commands. He loves to be brushed and enjoys exploring the local walking paths and trails. He has healed quickly from his neutering and seems happy and secure in his new home. Rhys and his dad are thankful to all the volunteers at AGR – the Placement Team, the Transport Team and the Health Care Team, all of whom have been instrumental in helping place Rhys. Arizona Golden Rescue has made us a family.
