Happy New Year!

A Message from our Co-Presidents and Founder

As we step into 2025, we want to take a moment to celebrate everything we accomplished together in 2024. Thanks to your unwavering dedication, compassion, and support, 208 dogs found love, safety, and their forever homes this past year. What an incredible milestone!

From adoption events to fostering, fundraising, and countless volunteer hours, every effort you made helped us fulfill our mission of rescuing and rehoming Golden Retrievers in need. We are endlessly grateful for the heart and soul you pour into this organization—it’s because of you that we’re able to make such a difference.

Looking ahead to 2025, we know there’s still much work to be done. There are more Goldens out there waiting for their second chances, and together, we can continue to save lives and bring hope to dogs and families alike. With exciting plans on the horizon, we can’t wait to see what we’ll achieve this year.

Thank you for being part of this amazing journey. Let’s make 2025 another unforgettable year for the Goldens we love so much.

Facts about Cancer

in Dogs

​Did you know that 1 in 3 dogs will be diagnosed with cancer? 50% of those dogs will die from cancer. In humans, there are 1.5 million new cases of cancer each year, but in dogs, there are 6 million new cases of cancer diagnosed each year. Dog cancer prevention is key to a long healthy life with your dog.

Checking your dog once a month for lumps and bumps or any abnormal behavior is key in the prevention of any health issue with your dog.

We recommend doing it on the 14th of every month. Monthly checks mean extra pets and love for your dogs while bringing peace of mind to you! If you are starting with a young dog, this time will also prepare them for their future vet wellness visits.

Now how exactly do you do this?

Start at their nose and work all the way to their tail. Make sure you are in a familiar, low-key environment where you and your pet can do this without distraction. In other words, not during dinner time or when you expect the mailman to be buzzing by the house.

Also, make sure you keep a journal of each of your

Check Your Dog days so you will have notes to

compare with should something arise.
