I rescued Buddy (Golden Retriever) back in Dec. He was 20 pounds underweight with flea dermatitis & secondary skin infections, a severe infection in both ears, missing hair on his butt, pressure ulcers over his hips, etc. He was also allowed as an unneutered male to run at large when he escaped. It took over a week of negotiating to get the dog from his owner. Animal control would do nothing.
His previous owner signed over his AKC paperwork to me. I have not sent the paperwork in because I was not sure I would be keeping him when I got him.
I am definitely keeping him now. I plan to get him to be a certified AKC Therapy Dog possibly by this time next year
. Still have to get CGC and Therapy organization certified. He will hopefully be a therapy dog through Bright and Beautiful (
http://www.golden-dogs.org/) 
. They serve my area.
His AKC paperwork needs to be officially in my name so if I am changing his paperwork work officially over to me- He is getting an official name change, too.
His is presently "Sir Cody of Cumberland"- Breeders name not on original registration so it doesn't need to be included- I also spoke to them myself.
I want to change it to something that reflects where he came from to now. Like Orphan Annie. I would also like it to include the word Luck, Lucky, or Goldwin (means Golden friend).
So far I have come put with:
Buddy's Lucky Break
Lucky Buddy's Rags to Riches Dreams
Buddy's Lucky Journey to the Top
Goldwin Beats the Odds
Goldwin's Rescued with Love
Goldwin's Life from Danger to Charmed
Any ideas?
