Gordie is a ‘foster failure’ ~ a humorous term-of-endearment that Golden Rescue uses when a foster family becomes the forever family.

The leg was fixed there but it never healed properly so it eventually had to be amputated here in Canada. This hasn’t slowed my little girl down…not one...

Cleo came from Egypt…skinny and timid. Our 39-pound girl has blossomed into a healthy, happy 52-pound stunner who thinks she’s a lap-dog! After a difficult couple of weeks of her not liking loud noises or going out at night, we have settled in beautifully with Cleo and she with us. Cleo is a proud new Canadian who loves her new...

When Myah arrived at the Toronto airport from Istanbul, she started licking my hand through her crate. That certainly brought on the tears and created ‘love at first sight’ emotions that we will never forget. It did take Myah a few months to regain her trust in humans and it also took a few months for her to realize that...
