Hi all…my name is Honey Moon. That is the name my wonderful forever mom, Diane, gave me. Cool name, right?

We stood waiting for Ella to be released from her crate and we knew the minute we saw her at the top of the ramp that it was her. One of us sat in the backseat as we drove home and it was so sweet to see her relax. When we got home, she spent the first day attached to...

Ripley is doing wonderfully. She is perhaps the friendliest, cuddliest Golden we have ever met.

Hello…my name is Cairo. I’m a Golden and I’m around two years old. I recently traveled from Egypt to Canada on a large plane, thanks to Golden Rescue. Wow, what a long trip that was.

I was rescued from the streets of Cairo. When the shelter rescued me, I was in really bad condition as I had mange. I was covered in blood and I could hardly move because of the swelling in my paws. I was also very anemic and had a high fever…a temperature of 41. The shelter started to treat my condition...

Dear sweet Frickle holds every single day with hope, smiles, and tail wags that are unprecedented. She helps us cope through this troubled pandemic. She is so loved and such a special soul, who found her way all the way from Istanbul to me in Ottawa to bring such joy to so many. My parents were locked down again over...
