We lost our beloved, thirteen year old Golden Sandy as she crossed the rainbow bridge in November of 2013. We had twelve and half wonderful years with her. She was a rescue dog, not from Golden Rescue but from the municipal pound system. She had been abused and abandoned and was in poor shape but made a full recovery. The...

Meet Maggie or ‘Maggie-Moo’ as we keep calling her. She is a master leaner…in fact, she got the gold medal for leaning at the 2013 Doggie Olympics. She also won the silver for the ‘throwing yourself on the ground, rolling over, grinning, belly rub’ competition the same year. She still loves her crate and has an indoor and outdoor insulated...

Dougie has settled in nicely to life with our family. It’s only been two weeks but he has certainly made himeself at home and captured our hearts.

Whatever Nala’s early story was, it made her nervous and untrusting. This scared little girl took her time to figure out life. When she first came to the cottage, she would not go near the water. In fact, she wouldn’t go near the water the following year either. In year three, everything changed and Nala became a confident, loving water-baby....

Over the past few years, I have fostered several Goldens, but none have touched my heart the way Sweetie has. Her past history, like many that come into rescue, is vague. Apparently, she was ‘found’ and then sold on Kijiji to a loving family. They took her into their home or rather they tried to. Over several months, they could...
