This Istanbul boy who arrived in Canada was originally named McBarker but his name was changed to Hudson because he was SOOO handsome…just like Rock Hudson. When we drove to Kingston to pick him up, he jumped right into our car and our hearts. He is often referred to Wiggly-Bum-Bum as his hind-end rarely is still when he gets excited....

Our lovely, quiet boy came from the streets of Istanbul. Even though the Bosphorus runs right through the middle of Istanbul, Sam must never have been exposed to the water because he is not a fan of the water. It is unfortunate because we have a lovely cottage on Georgian Bay and Sam just won’t go in…no way, no how!...

We are the classic foster failure. We had the pleasure of fostering this sweet girl from Cairo, who did arrive with some issues. During her seven-month fostering stint, Emma ran away seven times until we installed a six-foot fence. She was never trying to run away from us, she was just after the next adventure. The most challenging episode was...

Zac & Hunter have successfully figured out our house and even know what cupboard their treats are in. They are so comfortable that they forego the steps on the deck and launch themselves off the deck onto the grass ~ almost like they are diving into water. Zac is the shy one and he relies on Hunter as his lead. They are beloved not only by our family...

Reese is a very happy and energetic puppy. His fur-brother, Mack, takes good care of him and has taught him how to play tug-of-war (and beg for cheese). Recently, he has mastered walking downstairs ~ what a super-star!. He loves to play soccer with his six indestructible balls because he destroys all his other toys. Gillian & Craig …

This Istanbul bonded–pair came into our life at just the right time. After losing both our dogs a year apart, we were devastated and tried various rescue groups looking for the perfect dogs to fill our void. Nothing fit until we came across Golden Rescue and saw the write-up of Golden Simba and Husky Mya. The photographs somehow ‘spoke to us’ and after the application, home visit, and reference checks, these two beauties were winging their way to Pearson airport. …

May 4th was ‘Gotcha Day’ a year ago when we were blessed to have these goofy, cuddly, and lovable Goldens join our family. It’s hard to remember what life was like before them. They bring unconditional love and a whole lotta hair to our home…and we wouldn’t want it any other way. We feel very lucky! Tracey, Jackson & Charlotte …
