#2463 Hudson

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....

#2968 Sam

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!...

#2937 Emma

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...

#3174 Zac & #3175 Hunter

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...

#3173 Sully

We love Mr. Sullivan (aka Sully) so much and he has fit right in with our family. He is a sweetheart and such a cuddler. He follows us around everywhere and is Golden sister Lillie’s best friend and he is keeping her young. He is pure joy and he’s our pride and joy being on the cover of an issue of the Guardian. Carley & Zachary …

#3172 Leo

Leo is doing really well. He is absolutely in love with us and has really enjoyed this ‘quarantine-thing’. He is constantly bothering his older fur-sister Chloe and she will put him in his place if he gets to be too much. He is an absolute gem of a boy!    Rebecca & Antonio …

#3171 Reese

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 …

#3279 Simba & #3280 Mya

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. …

#3079 Mason & #3080 Riley

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 …
