We adopted our Rosie-Posie a year ago this month, shortly before her second birthday. We were about to be her fourth home in her short life, and needless to say, she was feeling anxious and insecure. She was also a bit skinny with digestive issues. The vet thought she had food allergies and put her on a hypoallergenic diet. It...

Kili came to us two years ago from Cairo. She came down the ramp at Pearson airport and stopped to say hello to every single person lined up along the way, with her little rat-tail wagging. We only mention her tail as it was a bit of a sorry sight and very un-Goldenish when she arrived. Within a few months,...

After our 13.5-year-old precious ‘Parker’ passed away in February (we adopted him from GR 11 years ago), we thought we were done with large dogs. Hah…not a chance! Once a Golden has stolen your heart, you are under their squishy-faced spell forever. The good people at GR assessed our application to be a good fit for 2-year-old Murphy. Each of...

We have made friendships with people we’ve met through...

Wyatt arrived in Canada from Mexico six years ago. As soon as he got out of his crate, he hugged our daughter and then proceeded to hug some of the airport staff as well. He must have been exhausted after his long flight because he slept all the way home. When he first arrived home, he was fearful about coming...

Stanley’s is a second-chance story…or perhaps it’s his third or fourth. This poor boy has sure been around the block a number of times since arriving in Canada from Mexico City. He has had a number of homes and a number of names. When he first arrived in our home, he was an old soul ~ very serious and cautious....

Maverick is the most incredible boy and we absolutely adore him. He is a wonderful addition to our family. He is the most loving, affectionate, and well-mannered puppy ever who gets along extremely well with our Egyptian Princess Abby #3093, who is also amazing and the most easy-going girl. They are often found cuddling or cleaning each other. This boy...
