Finley and Penny both graced our family through Golden Rescue within the last year. Fin came by way of a ‘foster fail’. Within two days, we knew he was going to be a part of our family forever! He has the best facial expressions (always judging us). He is the best cuddler and full of love. He is the sweetest...

SuperDooperCooper is our fifth Golden from GR. He came with a long rap sheet ~11 of 10 on the energy scale, very aggressive with other dogs, 12 out of 10 on prey drive. But the first time we met, he ran right over and planted a big kiss so we were hooked. High energy…no problem. I’m high energy so it...

Our Hallie is quite the character. When she first arrived in our home, she stayed by the door for a few days and slowly moved to the family room. We have two other dogs ~ an English Bulldog and a Shepherd/Lab mix and she is already the top dog. She has lots of funny quirks. She loves car rides but...

For a street dog, Holly is a wonder. She is such a quiet, sweet girl who steals everyone’s heart. Her only tragic flaw is she is a big thief, so food or anything else that looks interesting is not safe if Holly is around. It’s understandable as she had to fend for herself on the streets so she is a...

Fiona is a Turkish delight. Since her days on the streets of Istanbul, she has adapted beautifully to Canadian life. She is seen here camouflaged in the fall leaves ~ it’s almost a Where’s Waldo photo. She loves her toys and playing with her boyfriend Charlie as they have a play date almost every day. She has become an expert...

I have had Labs or Goldens most of my life. I lost my beautiful Black Lab three years ago and my Golden last year. When I came across the Golden Rescue website, I knew it was time to fill that hole left in my heart. On checking the website regularly, I came across Mr. Optimus and I somehow knew he...

We adopted our Rosie-Posie a year ago this month, shortly before her second birthday. We were about to be her fourth home in her short life, and needless to say, she was feeling anxious and insecure. She was also a bit skinny with digestive issues. The vet thought she had food allergies and put her on a hypoallergenic diet. It...

Kili came to us two years ago from Cairo. She came down the ramp at Pearson airport and stopped to say hello to every single person lined up along the way, with her little rat-tail wagging. We only mention her tail as it was a bit of a sorry sight and very un-Goldenish when she arrived. Within a few months,...

After our 13.5-year-old precious ‘Parker’ passed away in February (we adopted him from GR 11 years ago), we thought we were done with large dogs. Hah…not a chance! Once a Golden has stolen your heart, you are under their squishy-faced spell forever. The good people at GR assessed our application to be a good fit for 2-year-old Murphy. Each of...
