I'm Laurie Caldi, a volunteer working with Golden Rescue. This great organization has really opened my eyes to a big problem.
There are so many dogs being neglected, abused and abandoned. Because Golden Retrievers are such a lovable breed, they often get overbred and owners who wanted that cute puppy, often can't handle the care they need as they grow or they simply can't have a pet due to life changes. And unrest in countries abroad like Turkey, Egypt and Mexico leave many Goldens abandoned, in need of a new family.
Golden Rescue gives Goldens in need a second chance. They rescue abandoned or displaced Goldens domestically and abroad and help them find their forever families.
This year, more than ever before, thanks to COVID, many Canadians would LOVE to have a Golden in their family but adoption requests are way up and it can be difficult to find a dog to adopt.
Rescues are happening right now, but there are so many more that need rescuing!
