I received this email this morning and promptly forwarded it to Scott, in Ohio, to see what he had to say.

"FHGRR has had a very busy summer with intakes...and our applications
have been fewer than normal. In fact, a few weekends ago, 2 members
transported 7 of FHGRR's goldens to a rescue in the northeast that
is in just the opposite situation.
Our situation is so desperate at the moment that we are referring
most of our owner surrender dogs to other rescues and only taking in
shelter dogs and emergencies. We currently have 4 females, from 7
months to 6 years that are in shelters with their time running out
and we need fosters for them. If you can help us and open you heart
and home to foster one of these gals, please contact... I took out the contact information

Desperate times call for desperate measures.. we certainly do not
want to shut our rescue doors to all goldens, but we desperately
need help.

Thank you....."

This is a similar situation to what there was when Zipper was pulled from animal control and came to stay with us for a while. Well, he stayed, permanently, and I don't think I can let that happen again, right now, but Scott agreed that if we can save a life, we need to do it, bless his heart. Because of us having the puppy (Mack) and Butter (kitty), and these Golden girls have not been temperment tested, it looks like we will not be taking one of these new ones, but will take over fostering of "Gracie", a one year old Golden girl, whose foster dad has to leave town next week for a while. I really don't have any doubts about Honey and Lilly, as they have always been so gentle and good with any foster we have had. As long as Gracie can be kind to them, we will welcome her into our home. You can see Gracie under "Available Goldens" at www.fhgrr.com .

I don't know how many members we have within driving distance of Greenville, SC, but if you are out there and would consider becoming a foster home for our Golden Retriever Rescue, please let me know. They desperately need help in order to save these Goldens.
