We did not see this coming. We have volunteered with Golden Rescue for over four years and one of the rewarding things we do is transport needy Goldens. Our own rescue story started this way. We received a request to transport a little girl to her foster. It was a Saturday morning and we immediately headed out to pick her up. We were told that this little treasure was just over a year old and had been dropped off at a pet store in terrible condition. She came from a puppy mill, lived in a barn, and since she did not breed, she was discarded. She was scared, shaking, extremely skittish, and bleeding around the neck. The wound was from a half-healed, infected dog bite and she was in need of immediate medical attention. Arrangements were made for us to take her to an emergency hospital so off we went. We waited almost four hours and I sat on the floor with her and she climbed up on my lap and stayed there the entire time. I could see how comfortable and safe she felt and I knew she could feel my love. It was late in the evening by the time we met the foster. We jokingly told him not to bond with her as we would be back to pick her up. Well, we had to move heaven and earth that evening. We filled out the Golden Rescue adoption application and did not sleep at all that night. We were so excited to hear back if we were able to adopt this little angel, waiting patiently for the morning call. We were given the thumbs up and we could not get there fast enough. Peter and I had another rescued Golden, Lexy who was about to get a sister. We were so happy that this little angel was coming home with us and was going to meet her big sister. We arrived home with a hungry pup and our love story was about to begin. We named her Kyla and she seemed to like her name right away. Lexy and her took a few weeks to get fully acquainted with a few bumps along the way but once Lexy figured out that Kyla was not going anywhere, they soon became best friends and allies. That evening she got her first bowl of kibble with prime rib all to herself and she dove into it like she never had her own bowl of food before. She had some medical issues and she had major digestive issues and we were outside with her as many as 13 times a night. There were many trips to the vet and one by one all her issues were resolved. We now have an incredibly happy, beautiful, and healthy furbaby. Kyla gives us so much love. She comes in for a hug and cuddles and falls asleep in our arms. She also has such a funny side to her. She’ll tease Lexy to play then runs away and hides only to be peeking back around the corner. She sleeps upside down all night without moving an inch. She wakes us up with a roar that you would think there was a lion in the house. Lexy looks at her as if to say, “Really?” We want to thank the GR team from the bottom of our hearts for our little Kyla. She is finally ‘home’.
