Luke-adoption in progress
|
|
Meet Luke. The Rescue just “sprung him” from PBC Animal Care and Control. Guess who’s taking him home to foster. YES, OF COURSE.....KRISTINE! It will be a while before he’s available for adoption. As you can see, the poor boy’s skin is a mess. So were his paws when he was found running in the street. They were bloody and wounded. He has the sweetest, kindest face, ever. More updates to follow.
Buddy-adoption in progress
|
|
Update, November 22–Here are some new pictures of Buddy in his foster home. He has his eye surgeon appointment on Wednesday. We will know then when he’ll have his entropian eye surgery. I spent some time with Buddy today. He is the sweetest, most lovable and loving dog!! He’d love a fenced yard because he has lots of good energy. And he loves his people so we’d like to find a home where people are around much of the time. Please see below for more details and contact information.
Question...am I a Golden or an Irish Setter or do I have Cocker Spaniel in me. Well, really, who cares? I am handsome,sweet, energetic and an all around fabulous guy! I am around six years old. I weigh 51 pounds....a great size. I’d really love a fenced yard to run around in. I love getting lots of exercise. I’d be great with kids. I did live with a small dog. Don’t know how I’ll be around big dogs. There’s only one issue for right now. It would be great if I could find an adopter not terribly far from Jupiter. I will need entropian lid eye surgery. The Rescue will pay for it. But, I will need to see the eye doctor a few times. My eyes will be absolutely NO PROBLEM after the surgery.
So, if you’re looking for a super loving, fun, playful guy, please contact Lisa at: rjlph@outlook.com
Tell her if you’ve had a home visit and if so, when. Please tell her exactly where you live and all about your Family, home, yard and most important, your daily schedule. I can’t wait to meet you!!!!

Bingo-adoption in progress
|
|
Hola! My name is Bingo! I’m probably about 18 months old. I am FULL of positive energy. I’m loving, sweet and tons of fun. I was rescued TWICE in PR. Once where I was rescued from the streets. And a second time from my “rescuer” who kept me chained up all the time.So, I’m sure three times will be “the charm”. I’m great with other dogs. A fenced yard would be awesome so I can run off my puppy energy. As you can see. I am not very big and I think it would be a “kick” to be with kids. In other words. I am the perfect young Family dog. If you’re interested, please contact Lisa at: rjlph@outlook.com. Tell her if you’ve had your home visit and when. If you haven’t, please tell Lisa EVERYTHING about you, your Family, your home, yard and daily schedule. Remember you must live in the Rescue’s adoption area. SE Florida from Cocoa Beach to Miami. Once Lisa has all that info. If you’re a good fit. She will reach out to you. I’m coming pretty soon.
Oso-adoption in progress

My name means Bear, in Spanish. But I’m not. I am a small (about 45 pounds) sweet, handsome guy. But mostly, I’m pure Velcro. I spent lots of time on the streets....so I know being in a home with my person or people is all I ever want to do for the rest of my life. I am neutered and current on my vaccines. I’m probably around 7 years old. I’m fine with other dogs. I’ve been in a home. So my “house manners” are good. I know commands So, if you’re looking for a buddy, housemate, walking friend who really needs rescuing, I’m your guy. Please contact Lisa at: rjlph@outlook.com.

I was truly rescued from the streets of Puerto Rico. I was pitifully thin. Probably 15 pounds underweight But now that I’m safe. I’m eating well and have gained some weight.

Goldens from China!
All our Goldens from China have been adopted!
Here’s Xiao Pang--adopted
He is a handsome four year old red, wavy haired Golden. He was abandoned as a puppy when he got sick. He is absolutely 100% healthy now. But he does have a slight limp. He doesn’t know it. He doesn’t care. So I cannot imagine anyone else will either. He’s happy, energetic and gets along with other dogs. Because he’s not PERFECT he’ll have less chance of being adopted. But that just makes him more perfect to us. And all the more reason he needs to come to Florida to a loving forever home. If you’re the one to welcome this dog into your heart and your life, Please contact Kristine at: Kristinegoldenrescue@outlook.com

Dian Dian- adopted
Dian Dian, aka Dot Dot, is totally unique. She is a beautiful, loving 2 year old female. As with all the China Rescues, she is spayed, current on her vaccines and dewormed. The amazing black patch on her head is called a somatic mutation. All that means is she has a patch of black fur on her head. It’s not unlike a birthmark on human faces. Breeders say the dogs with these markings go the quickest because they’re different. In fact one of these Goldens has his own web page. Children with unique birthmarks relate to him. In any case she’s absolutely gorgeous. She’s sweet and loving and a Golden all the way through. By the way, she was actually pulled off a meat truck...heading for slaughter. Boy, will her life turn out better when she’s here. Interested in Dot Dot? Please contact Kristine at: Kristinegoldenrescue@outlook.com

She is playful, loving, sweet and A PUPPY. She is spayed and current on her vaccines. She deserves to grow up in a safe and loving home here, in the US. Will you be the one she grows up with? Please contact Kristine at: Kristinegoldenrescue@outlook.com

Da Mao Mao—- adopted
Oh boy, wait until you see the videos of this spectacular 5 year old boy. He clearly knows commands (maybe his adopter should brush up on their Chinese 🤣). All kidding aside. These dogs learn English incredibly quickly. Anyway, here’s the story on Da Mao Mao. Over a year ago, last summer he had a seizure. He didn’t have another for over six months. He was put on seizure meds and hasn’t has another one in almost a year. The meds he is on are inexpensive and easy to give. He’s neutered, current and dewormed. When you fall madly in love after seeing his videos. Please contact Kristine at: Kristinegoldenrescue@outlook.com

Update- November 8--The hardest part of this entire operation is getting them scheduled to fly. We hit road block after road block. Prices changing, locations changing....grrrr. But we WILL get these amazing dogs here...no matter what! The very good news they are almost ALL spoken for. If you’re thinking about rescuing one...please check our media pages ASAP to see what dogs still need a home. Paws crossed!
Update- November 2– It appears we will not be able to fly our 20 Rescues into Florida. So, we will then have to arrange transport to Florida from Chicago or NY. We are trying to find alternatives. So, we are once again turning to you our rescue friends and followers to see if you have any ideas about alternative private or rescue transportation. We know Big Dog Ranch chartered a flight to bring in rescues. We will try contacting them for information. But if any one KNOWS anyone or has knowledge about this. Please reach out to Lee Ann at: flarunkle@bellsouth.net.
Our paws are crossed!

Update October 31: The good news and the bad. The good, there are fewer and fewer Goldens needing rescuing in the U.S. The bad, the plight of Goldens around the world becomes more desperate every day. We were contacted by a rescue in China asking if we could help. Remember, they are not only neglected and abused. They are also butchered, to be eaten. So, our “little” rescue have hiked up our “big girl pants”. And we’ve set out to rescue 20 Goldens by bringing them to the U.S.. This is a huge undertaking. But we’re determined.
First step.....RAISE MONEY, lots of money. It will cost a minimum of $2600 per dog, to get them here. Of course, while we’re doing that. We are working on getting them adopted BEFORE they arrive. Then working on all the logistics, as they have to fly into JFK. Not anywhere in Florida. Once there. We have to bring them to Florida. So, here’s “the pitch”. Please click on the here to see which way you can help us. Thanks, in advance.

Update: We have been overwhelmed and awed at the incredible response regarding our rescuing these heart breaking pure bred Goldens from China. Based on thAt response. We are ready to take this project on. But now it becomes a question of logistics.
Kristine, our IG maven is taking on the project. She has set up a special email. Please contact her at: Kristinegoldenrescue@outlook.com. Once we’re up and running we will make the announcement on all our sites. Then, PLEASE, let the applications come and the donations flow!!!! Paws crossed. We want to get those dogs OUT OF THERE!

Well, here’s a rescue mission AND A HALF. We’ve been contacted by a group who rescues pure bred Goldens from China. These dogs are in desperate need of rescue. I know I don’t need to talk about the dangerous and dire conditions over there, for We really want to help. Several years ago we rescued a group of Goldens from Turkey. It was exciting, rewarding and EXPENSIVE! The dogs were amazing...but, did I say expensive????
The price of a Golden coming from China is about $2300 per dog. I know we all agree there is no way to put a dollar value on a dog’s suffering, life and rescue. But that’s a huge sum for our Rescue to “come up with”. So, I’m asking our amazing “followers”. What do you think? If we asked for donations to help cover their costs, would you donate? If you wanted to adopt one of these dogs, what would you be willing to donate? We welcome any thoughts, suggest or ideas...that are POSITIVE, please. Criticisms, or negative comments not needed. Please know that we will always be here to rescue Golden (and Goldens at Heart) here in Florida and PR. No dog will ever be left behind. But if we can help more Goldens....no matter from where...WE WANT TO!!!!
Please email Lisa with thoughts and suggestions.
