Bodhi is great considering that he is an older boy now…around 12. Naturally, he is starting to feel his years.

He is such a sweet boy and must have come from a family scenario in Turkey as he seemed very much at home with us right away and was well-trained. He learned English commands very quickly except...

Joey is a lovely boy. He fit into our family immediately if not sooner. He loves the snow and his daily 5K walks. Chasing squirrels, bunnies, and blowing leaves is a favourite Joey pastime. He is also fascinated with geese flying and honking overhead. His funny quirk is that he wants nothing to do with water unless it’s in his...

We did not see this coming. We have volunteered with Golden Rescue for over four years and one of the rewarding things we do is transport needy Goldens. Our own rescue story started this way.
