* * The Following Golden(s) are Searching for Angels and Sponsors * *

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 of 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 are Goldens in need of assistance:


Poor Boy - male - Golden Retriever mix

Poor Boy

Poor Boy is just a youngster, found as a stray, with a horrible skin. The shelter tells us that despite being in this despicable condition, he is as sweet as they come - - and we intend to give him every chance at a healthy, happy life. The shelter calls him Poor Boy - - and I think you'll agree - that fits.

This Poor Boy is in desperate need sponsors for his medical expenses. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Poor Boy side - male - Black labrador

Winnie

Winnie is 5 years old and one of the nicest girls we have ever had here. She is just about perfect - except her prior owners put her outside in a pen, did not give her heartworm preventative - and Winnie has heartworm disease. We are doing the preliminary treatments now. The cost will be between $350 - $500.

Winnie is in need of sponsors for her medical expenses. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Winnie - female - golden retriever
