Hello friends! We are taking a small break and will be away from the blog for a little while. We’ll be back before you know it, fostering more Golden pups in need. In the meantime, I’ll be posting pics of a few, more exotic animals over at Open Shutter. Take care and we’ll see you …
Jake-adopted-the new fresh prince of Bel Air
Jake found his forever family today! He is now the new fresh prince of Bel Air, where he is going to live with his new family. We’re sure he’s going to be spoiled like a king and have a great time exploring his new domain. Jake will have plenty of room to run and even …
Jake-focused
Jake loves to watch the world go by outside the window. I saw he was extra interested in something. The enemy on his lunch break. This squirrel was doing back flips for about 5 minutes. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get a good shot of that. but he kept Jake entertained for a little over an hour. …
Jake-update
Jake is really enjoying having us all to himself and loves to play. He has so much energy we have dubbed him “the Red Rocket”. I have a feeling this guy would be really good at agility. After a big walk, in the mornings, we have a high energy play. Jake loves the Westpaw ball. …
Sky-adopted
We’re happy to report that Sky is officially adopted! He will live with his new family in Los Angeles and is starting off his new life with a new name to go with it, Murphy. His family had a sneak preview this weekend and fell in love as soon as they met him and the …
Sky & Jake
Sky & Jake are a good example of the different shades Golden Retrievers come in. We’ve had reds and golds and they are both very pretty or handsome in the case of these 2 fellows. Sky is trying to entice Jake to play but they have very different styles of playing. Sky likes to wrestle …
Jake-update
Jake is settling in to our home and we are finding out new things about him as he does. Goldens are hunting dogs and Jake has the nose of a keen hunter. He puts his nose to the ground and sniffs every tiny scent. Jake is very keen on moving things so he would not …
Jake
Meet Jake, our latest foster who showed up rather suddenly yesterday afternoon. Two year old Jake has been shuffled around in his short life and just wants to settle down with one family for the rest of his days. This youngster is still adjusting to his latest stop but Sky was eager to help him …
Sky-update
Sky missed Candy the day after she went home but we lavished him with love and he’s doing better now. We are starting to know more about Sky’s personality. He has some puppy traits about him, he likes to dig (I don’t know what it is about our peach tree, but if a dog is …
Candy-adopted!
It’s true… Candy found her forever home today! We knew she would find a home quickly because she was a super special girl. Candy had a very long journey even though she was only 2 years old…she was found on the streets in Taiwan, spent almost a year in rescue there, flew 12 hours to …
Sky
This is Sky, our newest foster. His real name is Skylar but we thought that was too Hollywood for a dog and call him Sky instead. He doesn’t seem to mind. Sky’s family turned him over to rescue and he’s not sure why, so he’s been very sad since he got here. Candy is helping …
Candy-update 2
Candy is doing great and we are seeing her true personality. She is a typical young Golden, full of energy with a touch of mischief for good measure. She likes to collect things and put them on her blanket… stuffies, balls, the frisbee, socks…a shoe…if it’s laying around, she’ll add it to her collection. Candy …
Candy-update
Candy is settling in very nicely to her new life in America. This sweet girl is very gentle and loves to be near people (she’s a Golden!). She enjoys hanging out in the yard with you. Typical of a younger Golden, she gets “the zooms” and therefore enjoys long walks and playing fetch. She would …
Candy
This is Candy, our new foster girl. She came all the way from Taiwan to stay with us…really! The good folks at TUAPA, a rescue organization in Taichung City, co-ordinated the transport of 3 Golden Retrievers, a Doberman, a Collie and a Shepherd puppy all the way to Los Angeles. Southern California Golden Retriever Rescue …
Brinkley-update
We were a temporary foster home for Brinkley and he is moving to his scheduled foster home today. We have another foster arriving late this evening. She has a big story behind her, but I will post about that tomorrow. We will miss having Brinkley here, he is a lot of fun. He is such …
Brinkley
This is our latest foster dog, Brinkley. He dropped by this week and quickly made himself at home. Brinkley is a victim of the ongoing economic depression, he lost his home of the last 8 years. This sweet boy is very smart and knows lots of tricks. He LOVES stuffies and in typical Golden nature, …
Remembering The Original Red Dog
Today would have been the 12th birthday of our first Golden Retriever, Raja. He was our first heart dog, the one who taught me what really matters in life. I have never met anyone, human or dog, that lived every day to it’s fullest as well as Raja. He savored each moment like a new …
Bye Bye Ben
Ben went home to his regular foster family yesterday. We’ll miss the big red lad. After spending almost a week with him, I can say that he is a super dog… cuddly, fun and energetic …the perfect Golden. If you or someone you know (in the So Cal area) has a pool, is home all …
Garden Dog
Ben spent most of the weekend out in the yard with us as we did some major gardening. He was very happy about the new herb garden… okay, he was just happy. The water therapy seemed to really make him feel a lot better and he proved it by running around the yard.
