Hi, my name is Ella! So happy you are reading about me. I am a senior golden (and I’m not telling my exact age)! I ended up at a local shelter and then came to Love a Golden Rescue and on to a wonderful foster home. I am a very good girl, totally house trained and get along well with the resident dog. I do have a little arthritis in my hips and take medicine for that. I do best on carpets, not slick surfaces. A ranch style home would be best, however I am fine with a couple of stairs. I ride well in the car and love everyone!

I'm so in love with life! My ultimate joy comes from people; spending time with them is pure bliss. When my foster mom comes down the stairs in the morning, I can hardly contain myself. “She’s here, she’s here!”I have been blessed with an amazing foster family. The family includes three children … added bliss! Sometimes we play a bit, but when they’re busy with homework, you can find me lying on the floor right next to them. To further explain, I was very recently rescued. One day while I was lying outside at the rescue, I was feeling uncomfortable, unhappy, and simply overwhelmed with life. Then, a very nice lady (I found out later she was a volunteer from As Good as Gold) came up and started talking to me with soft kindness in her voice. She took me with her and then found a foster family to take me in. My foster family and I certainly have bonded. My ultimate goal, though, is to find my forever home. Or, perhaps, it will be my next foster or foster-to-adoption situation. Check out my fancy wagon! It’s a comfy spot and provides me an opportunity to see the world with my foster family. The wagon is helpful because, you see, I have a permanent disability; my back and rear legs are paralyzed as the result of a spinal injury. The paralysis doesn’t stop me from pursuing what I can of life, but it does require extra care from my family.
