Testimonials for Mission of Love
It is hard to describe the feeling you get when you rescue a Golden from the streets of Istanbul, Cairo or Mexico City. If you’ve been fortunate to join us at the airport when we let one of these grateful beauties out of their crate after their many ordeals, you would understand what we are talking about. People have described it as a life-changing moment. It’s even more difficult to relay what adopting an International Golden is like, so best that be left to the wonderful families who have adopted.
Here are some comments from a few of our adopters about their International Goldens:
Rian #2571

Rian has fit into our family perfectly and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect Golden! Thanks so much for making this happen. Chris, Sara, Adam & Chloe
Koula #2923

Thank you ~ Koula has been one of the most affectionate and caring dogs I have ever had. And she is incredibly smart. I could not have asked for a better addition. I feel truly blessed to have her part of our family. Julie
Fiona #2264

Fiona is extremely affectionate and simply a joy to have around. She is an amazing creature who deserved a second chance. Cindy & Doug

Talih #2351

Talih is an amazing Istanbul Golden. Her name means luck, fortune, and fate in Turkish ~ a very apt name indeed for a very sweet and lucky girl…although we believe we’re the lucky ones. Liz & Bill

Kipling #2431

Kipling is a young Istanbul Golden. He is a wonderful, goofy, social, pleasure-to-be-around Golden. Picking up Kipling at the airport was an experience we will never forget ~ no question one of the best days of our lives. Kim
Ozzy #2393
(from Istanbul)
Ozzy has a fantastic personality and, as much as he loves to run, he is actually pretty laid back. This boy has certainly found a changed life since he came to Canada but he has also changed our lives. Ozzy has brought such joy to us all and we can’t imagine our lives without him. Jackie
Charm #2278
(from Istanbul)
Charm is a charming girl. She has brought such joy to me. When she looks up at me, I tell her it’s okay…she will always be safe and loved. Then I think, yes, I rescued you Charm but it was you who saved me. Enough said! Carol
Mykos #2703
(from Istanbul)
The name Mykos means love, beauty, and freedom…a name he suits to a tee. Adriana & Lou
Nike #2314
(from Istanbul)
Nike means Goddess of Victory and I’m sure she feels victorious to have been brought to Canada from a life on the streets. She is a fast learner and simply adorable. I love her very much! Sheryl
Zeus #2311
(from Istanbul)
Zeus settled in almost immediately to Canadian life after arriving from Istanbul. He is a very happy boy who even wags his tail in his sleep. We couldn’t be happier that Zeus joined our family. Samantha & Matt
Sam #2785
(from Istanbul)
Our beautiful Sam is happy and healthy ~ he has become a beautiful, gentle pup. He loves all his dollies and has yet to rip anything other than a label off of them. His coat has come in a gorgeous strawberry blonde, no sign of scars or anything. We love him to pieces. Thank you again for our fabulous boy! Dawn & Jeff
