Frodo started his life
being a part of a family but when they no longer
had time for him, Frodo was banished to the
backyard. He came to Arizona Golden Retriever
Connection more than 40lbs overweight with
severe ear infections and skin infections. His
owners had cut the mats off of him and cut his
skin in several places. Frodo’s thyroid was low
and he needed lots of dental work. He had
developed separation anxiety that manifested
itself by Frodo licking. He licked at his paws
and legs causing sores. He licked his fosters.
He licked the furniture.
Frodo went to one of
AZGRC’s experienced fosters that often get
foster dogs that need to lose weight. Frodo
started on a diet and daily walking plus all his
other medical needs were addressed. He fit
right in with Kelso, Ruby and Jesse, all Golden
Retrievers that have welcomed many foster dogs
into their home. Frodo learned about the toy
basket, doggy door and how much fun walks were
from his canine pals.
He was alone for so long
at his previous home that he just wanted love
and constant attention. He loved everyone; kids,
other dogs, anyone that would pay attention to
him. Frodo was basically a love bug.
Frodo fit in so well at
his foster family that it was soon apparent that
he had found his forever family.
Today Frodo is a happy,
healthy, lean newspaper fetching Golden
Retriever
