My friend Betty loves Golden Retrievers; in fact, these four dogs are hers! They are gentle, smart, and loyal companions, and they are lucky to have caring attentive owners. But there are so many Goldens who are not this lucky.
Betty volunteers with Sunshine Golden Rescue, a non-profit organization that rescues Goldens and other dogs from kill shelters in the South, other animal shelters, humane societies, and individuals who can no longer care for their dogs. They transport the dogs to Connecticut, where they assess the dogs, provide medical care, and oversee the rehabilitation of the dogs. They rely on volunteers to provide care, take the dogs to the vet, screen adopters, and provide interim foster care.
For more information on how you can volunteer, donate, foster, or adopt these beautiful animals, visit the Sunshine Golden Rescue website. There are also plenty of photos and stories of the dogs--they are irresistible!
If you are not able to donate, adopt, or volunteer, you can still help by:
- Telling people about Sunshine Golden Rescue.
- Reminding everyone to never purchase puppies from puppy mil ls or pet stores.
- Using only a breeder that ascribes to the code of ethics if you are purchasing a puppy,
- Encouraging everyone who wants a great pet to consider adopting a rescue dog.
