Dear Golden Beginnings Friends and Family,

What a wonderful day we had celebrating 27 years of Golden Beginnings! 💛 🐾

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Toddy Oaks for our 27th Annual Reunion! It was a beautiful afternoon filled with happy Goldens, familiar faces, new friendships, and plenty of wagging tails.

From our sweet and special Senior Parade to the adorable and creative Halloween Costume Contest, there were so many memorable moments. Be sure to check out our photo album to see all the fun!

Congratulations to the Cordas Family, and thank you for making such a meaningful difference in the lives of our rescued Goldens!

The People Behind the Magic

Events like our reunion don't happen without the dedication of some wonderful volunteers!

A special thank you to Angie Pierce for organizing this year's event, Jennifer Stolting for serving as MC of our beloved Senior Parade, and TJ Aulds for keeping the celebration going as our event MC.

We also want to recognize the incredible people who make our rescue work possible every day: our foster families, transporters, foster and adoption coordinators, and all the volunteers who give so generously of their time and hearts.

And a special thank you to Lauri Neale, our President and Medical Director, for her tireless dedication to the health and well-being of the Goldens in our care.

The Reunion May Be Over, But Our Work Never Stops


While we're still smiling about yesterday’s celebration, Goldens continue to come into our care, many needing veterinary treatment, rehabilitation, and the safety of a loving foster home.

Your support makes these second chances possible.

If you enjoyed the reunion or simply believe in the work we do, please consider making a donation to help us continue providing the care these deserving dogs need. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference.

Thank you for being part of the Golden Beginnings family and for helping us give Goldens in need the brighter futures they deserve.

With gratitude,
