What is a Meet and Greet?

As Good as Gold holds Meet and Greet events at a variety of brick and mortar locations throughout the year. Members bring their well-behaved goldens, greet the store guests, and collect donations. We share information about As Good as Gold membership and responsible pet ownership. In addition, we answer specific questions about adopting from a rescue and becoming a foster home for the dogs in our care.

Where are Meet and Greet’s held?

Lola – Meet and Greet Ambassador

Lola was one of the over 3,000 dogs AGaG has rescued since 2003. She was adopted by Joe and Susan Lunn in 2012 and led countless Meet & Greet events. Due to her calm personality and affectionate nature, Lola was an excellent ‘trainer’ for many of our current Meet & Greet goldens who are carrying on her tradition. Sadly, Lola crossed the Rainbow Bridge on February 13, 2019. To honor her, she was designated As Good as Gold’s Meet & Greet Ambassador!

Additional Information

What can I Expect?

Meet & Greets are a great way for local members to meet and share information about trainers, vets and dog medications/products. They often lead to long-term friendships and provide another chance for your well-behaved goldens to socialize.
