Ripley is doing wonderfully. She is perhaps the friendliest, cuddliest Golden we have ever met. She has made friends with almost everyone on the street and greets everyone we come across asking for cuddles. You rarely find her without a toy in her mouth (an adjustment for us, because our last dog wasn’t really into toys) but she is OBSESSED...

When my last Golden crossed the Rainbow Bridge suddenly in 2020, I knew my life would always suffer her loss. She was only eight and in good health and when she died of a heart attack right in front of me, I wondered if I could ever love again. I put my name on waitlists but I really didn’t want...

Benji was being cared for by GR’s behaviourist in order to learn our Canadian ways as he had some issues that he came upon honestly on the streets of Cairo.

Golden Rescue was called and they picked her up immediately. Rosie had mange and horrible red skin with scabs on her teats from recent weaning....

When I arrived in Toronto, I was introduced to my new parents. I was so happy to see them, especially when they gave me food...

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...

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...

When we first met this beautiful little tripod, he was only 22 lbs. He was very timid and shy. We had three vet appointments for this little guy and he had to be placed on a special, high-calorie, easily-digestible food to put on weight and stop the diarrhea. We had him on special medication for 21 days to get his...

Andy (previously Cheesecake) is just the sweetest boy. While I don’t know what the first 18 months of his life were like, I do know that the rest of his life will be full of love and adventure. Andy loves a good belly rub, to play, and going on walks (and doesn’t even complain when I put his booties on)....
