About Golden Rescue
Firstly, this is an odd title for a page that describes what we do. Why? Because it is not about us…it is about those magnificent creatures, Golden Retrievers, who share our world with what appears to be no other purpose than to make our lives better.
Our organization exists, as the name implies, to rescue Goldens in trouble. Yes, we deal with many sad and disturbing stories of what some of our Goldens have had to endure before coming to us. Their trials and tribulations remind us that all Goldens start off as intelligent, loving goof balls and our mission is to bring back that ‘goof’ factor and give them the happy lives they deserve. They deserve to be lively and full of enthusiasm, comedians with no fear, and loyal companions with ‘golden’ smiles on their faces!
We exist to put that smile back on their faces ~ a task harder in some than others ~ a task at times that is not easy…and sometimes an expensive task. Our Goldens are worth it…after all, what price is a smile?
Our Mission:
The Canadian Golden Retriever Adoption Service Inc. is a volunteer-operated, not-for-profit charitable organization dedicated to rescuing and re-homing displaced Golden Retrievers, and to educating the public, in general, about pet ownership.
We carefully screen all incoming dogs for socially acceptable behaviour and approve those whom we feel we can responsibly place. We provide spay/neuter service, micro-chipping, and all the necessary veterinary care required to place them in their Forever Homes.
We provide public education by means of brochures, an informative and entertaining newsletter, public/media appearances, and canine educational events, which focus on responsible pet ownership and, in particular, the Golden Retriever breed.
