Fostering a Dog: How It Works and What to Expect

Fostering a dog involves giving a rescue dog temporary care in your home while the rescue organization oversees veterinary care, placement, and adoption. Foster families provide day-to-day care, stability, and valuable observations that help the rescue better understand each dog’s needs.

Join the Fundraising Team!

No experience required!

Help us fetch more funds!

We are looking for fundraising volunteers to be part of an exciting new team that will work collaboratively to organize our future fundraising initiatives and events. As a group, we can re-visit previous ideas and bring them to life, enhance and support existing initiatives or work together to create new signature Golden events!

We are hoping to put together a group of enthusiastic volunteers who enjoy a relaxed, effective team approach to fundraising. This team will be led by Linda Newall-Visser, a fellow Golden lover and owner with previous experience leading teams toward a common goal. Whether you can help organize activities or bring creative fundraising ideas to the table, your support will make a real difference.

So please ‘unleash’ your fundraising superpowers and join our amazing team that will continue to help Goldens get the second chance they deserve. We’d love to have you join our team so if you’re interested, please send an email to [email protected].

Thank you!

Recycle. RESCUE. Repeat.

Yesterday's empties can help save tomorrow's Goldens. A few empty bottles may not seem like much, but they can help with veterinary costs and change lives, one Golden at a time.

Fundraising Team Lead

Help Me Save My Friends!

Hi… I’m Prince #4995 ~ okay, technically I had help typing this! I hear the humans at Golden Rescue need a fundraising leader…someone with great ideas and a bit of experience, to help raise money so more Goldens like me can be saved. They’re already pretty good at fundraising…but they need someone to lead the pack and sniff out new opportunities ~ like grants, corporate sponsorships, and creative ideas that we haven’t thought of yet. And, you don’t have to do it alone ~ we can build a team of lovely humans to help. But you do need to be the kind of person who says, “Hey, I’ve got an idea…let’s try this!” If that sounds like you…please step up because there are a lot of wagging tails depending on it.

Time commitment: approximately 5-10 hours per month
