Joe is at rest. Several of the Rescue volunteers were able to go to St. Petersburg to attend his memorial. It was everything Joe would have wanted. Joy, laughter and wonderful words and pictures. See the light behind us? We KNOW that is Joe!

WELCOME
TO
Golden Rescue South Florida
A 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to helping homeless Golden Retrievers in South Florida
Dogs come to Golden Rescue South Florida from various sources within Florida. Many of the dogs are given up by their owners because they cannot or will not give them the much needed love, attention or medical care necessary. Some of the dogs come from animal shelters. When a dog comes into a shelter, it is very important that we get the dogs out as soon as possible (according to the shelter's policy) Often finding a place to put the dogs is a major problem for us. We need foster homes because we have no kennel facility.
Dogs
are cared for in our foster homes where they are
assessed to ensure an ideal forever home. All dogs are spayed or
neutered, vaccinated, provided medical treatment and put on flea/tick
and heartworm prevention prior to adoption.
You can find more
information
on fostering on the Fostering a
Golden page.
GRSF has placed 44 dogs so far this year, compared with 29 last year by this date!!

We want to send out a special thank-you to those of you who support the
GRSF financially.
Well, 2013 is gone....on to the next year! As Lee Ann mentioned at the Reunion.It was a year of many highs and many lows. The lowest, of course was losing Carol, after her long battle with cancer. We miss her. But we know she is grinning from ear to ear in Heaven....the Rescue is doing GREAT!
Lee Ann has taken up the job of keeping everything running smoothly. She is doing an amazing job. We have gotten more volunteers who have stepped up and made every one's "job" easier. We have been blessed with incredibly generous donations. People care and because of that, dogs are saved and are thriving. Seeing 124 of our dogs (and fur siblings) made it clear how well our dogs are doing.
We hope we will never have another Heidi...the poor beautiful Golden who was used as a bait dog. But because of Heidi, the US Humane Society has really focused on the evils of dog fighting. So, perhaps that was her purpose.
In any case. Here are the statistics for 2013:
