If you all get tired of my "golden" rescues, you just need to tell me so I will shut up. But in the meantime, I want to share another story with you.
Day before yesterday, my friend, Betty, who I have met in person, assisted with transporting of rescued dogs, and my friend, who I visited at the beach a couple of weeks ago, posted a message about "idiots" on the Golden Retriever website. She showed us a picture of a beautiful Golden Boy, who was saved from the pound, but all Golden Rescues were filled, and she didn't know what to do. I immediately spoke up and said I would foster (God forbid, even considered adopting him for a little while), transport, whatever she needed me to do. A short while later, on the GR board, a message showed up from a lady in Richmond, VA....she lost her precious Golden to disease this past year, and she has been searching for a rescue since then. Betty posted shortly after her original post that Quanzhan, a long time member of the GR board had contacted her and was headed down TODAY to pick up that boy.....
I'll let Betty take it from here......

If you read her post, you will know why I still have tears running down my face......this is what rescue is all about. There are many angels,in the form of Betty, Aly, Mugsy, 3 Greys, Staci, Sandra, Thelmalu, (please don't be offended if I didn't mention your name....I love you all)and on and on and on........
I bless each one of you, sincerely.

Most rescue dogs become so devoted, so appreciative of their new home and their family. Just ask Aly's Lolly! I'm glad that Quanzhan took this route, and chose a dog who really needed her right now.
) Strangers thank us for rescuing, and tell us "God Bless You" all the time! It always makes me want to laugh, though, because I've already been blessed, simply by finding these 4 wonderful dogs to share my life with!
It is nice to know he will never have to be abused again in his new loving home. I can picture him just loving and pleasing Quanhzan for being his savior. What a GOLDEN story and thanks for sharing it! 
Doing the work I do for Yankee Golden Retriver Rescue, I hear of so many dogs who had been abandoned or abused that my opinion of the human race is very low. On the other hand, I also hear about all the wonderful people who adopt them and give them a loving, forever home, no matter how old or sick they are. So, I suppose there is always hope for as long as there are people like you, and all the members of this board, who have taken animals from shelters and given them the love they deserve.
