We have had Katie (Firfir) 18-185TD for the past three and a half weeks. She came over from Turkey, and went from a life of living on the streets, to a new life living on couches with warm fleece blankets.
What a wonderful gift we have been given. She is the most loving, sweetest little girl ever. Her personality is coming out now, and she's such a beauty. It took a couple of weeks until she realized this was her new forever home, but now she's very content.
Katie definitely has the "Golden nudge" and absolutely has to have one paw around my arm when sitting on my lap. She has to be as close to us as possible at all times, and we love every minute of it.
She's such a joy to see, looking out the window when we arrive home, and always happy to greet us, which makes our day so special. My husband and I find ourselves fighting for her attention, and love this little lady more than anything. Thank you RAGOM for bringing this angel to us.

Katie AKA FirFir has been adopted. She has a new mom and dad and will live in Minnesota. She will enjoy time with her extended family - humans and dogs both! What a fabulous journey to a forever life as an American.

Life is good for Katie the first week in America. Good food, soft dog beds, and a lot of human attention are her favorite things!
Katie was to the vet for her wellness earlier in the week. She was a perfect patient. She does have some worms and has been treated and will have a recheck coming up in the next few weeks.
She likes to chew on her hind legs and feet so we are giving her a medicated shampoo three times a week to rule out allergies. Even though she likes to nibble those areas she does not have any hair loss or sores.
Another minor issue is Katie's weight. You may have noticed that she weighs 71 pounds. Now that may not seem very heavy, but she does have a small frame and has some extra insulation that needs to go away! She is being fed premium food and very little treats.
Katie can do a fast paced 2.5 mile walk no problem! Her goal is to lose 15 pounds to be at a healthy weight. We are confident that this will happen.
Katie is a very happy, friendly dog and has been exposed to quite a few people and some older children (9+) and has been fabulous with them all. She sleeps peacefully on a dog bed in the human's bedroom all night and has free roam all day. She has not bothered any inappropriate items, enjoys her dogs toys, and treats and is your typical mellow Golden.
Her new home has a fenced-in yard so we do not know how she would do on a tie out. She does enjoy lounging outside and playing with her toys freely. Her leash manners are very good and she enjoys her walks.
If Katie sounds like she may be that next addition to your family please submit an inquiry.
