#3617 Reese

Reese is doing very well and we believe he is perfect! He absolutely loves the snow and every time there is a fresh dump of snow, he is nose deep in the backyard rolling around like he has seen it his whole life. He wasn’t too keen on going to the bathroom the other morning when he got his first...

#3697 Boomer

What a wonderful life it has been since Boomer arrived in our lives! From the moment he began his wobbly walk down the ramp, gooey eyes and all, we were in love. We can’t say he felt the same because he was being shifted from one new and scary situation to another. I’m sure the hour-long drive to his new...

#3361 Priya

Hi…my name is Priya and I’ve been a proud Canadian citizen for just over a year. My journey to Canada from Cairo was a little different than some of my friends that Golden Rescue helps bring to Canada. As excited as I was to start my new life, I was not feeling well. I was really sleepy, didn’t feel like...

#3536 Matthew

When the volunteers at the airport came out holding the collar and leash we had prepared as part of Matthew’s welcome home package, our hearts skipped a beat. We knew it was our turn. We had prepared as much as we could, but nothing prepares you for that first moment you lay your eyes on, and wrap your arms around,...

#3243 Barney

If you were to ask Barney what his name is, he’d tell you it is ‘my beautiful boy’ because that’s what he hears most often. We adopted him two years ago and he is absolutely that…our beautiful boy. We brought Barney home on October 27, 2019. He was undernourished and had worms. He is intelligent, cautious, and dominant. He knew...

#3723 Kaya

Kaya’s story is absolutely amazing and spans three countries. There was a kind woman in Norway who saw a video of poor nine-year-old Kaya on the streets of Istanbul starving and suffering from severe mange. She managed to get Kaya to a shelter in Istanbul with the hopes of bringing her to Norway. It turned out, because of regulations, Kaya...

#3716 Theia & #3717 Banner

This amazing bonded pair were surrendered to Golden Rescue in Alberta and we adopted them and took them to our home in B.C. They have adapted beautifully. Theia is a real sweetheart and simply wants to please. Banner is a little more cerebral, thoughtful, and a very good listener. They live with their younger canine brother, Bruce, and together they are The Three Musketeers. Theia loves the pond and her favorite...
