Almost heaven is always being called upon to help Golden and Golden Mixes that include many Seniors and Special Needs dogs.

We seem to always be swamped with requests, and have been able to accomodate all requests for help for the purebreds, and 99% of the requests for help for our Golden Mix Orphans. In order to assist more, our alternative is to board some these dogs (some are already in boarding) until an adoption or foster home is available. Boarding is costly and funding may limit the number of dogs we can help. These are dogs whose owners are sick, have passed away, have had life changing events happen, or some have simply been dumped and left to die through no fault of their own.

If you would like to help save a life ... and can afford to assist with boarding expenses ... we (and the furkids) would be most appreciative of your help! The cost to board ONE dog for a week is $ 35.00 - $70.00, depending on the facility available to us. Presently, we estimate that each new dog we commit to taking in may need to board for at least 2 weeks. We gratefully accept any financial assistance offered, and if you think you are cut out to be a "foster parent", please contact us - we'd love to work with you.

The following is a Golden in need of assistance:

Buddy

Buddy came to us from Bowling Green, KY. He is currently undergoing treatment for heartworm disease. Buddy would love to have angels to help cover the cost of his medical care.   Sponsors: Golden Angel Akiko Watanabe

We are always need of horse stall mats to put under the dogs crates and beds to keep them warm and comfy. We can use about 10 of them (Size: 4' X 8'), and can buy them locally for about $50 - $60 each. Donations of the mats or funds towards purchase are always gratefully accepted. We use Patented Kuranda Dog Beds because they are durable, chew proof and easy to clean. If you would like to donate a bed to us, click here.
