Spotlight on: Whiskey! |
|
This is Whiskey (formerly Charlie). He was found abandoned off the freeway trying to survive on hand outs from people as they passed by. Still he was no match for the dangers of the busy street. He was seen making his way across the street at times. Charlie lived this way for 3 weeks. We got a call about a dog with 3 legs who was in need of help. Right away we agreed to take him in to our rescue program.

The Hamilton family had adopted a golden retriever they named D'Art from us as a pup. They have been so kind to keep in touch and support our rescue efforts with many generous donations over the years. The Hamiltons have been looking to add another dog to their home and had been checking our web page for just the right match. They saw Charlie and emailed asking if we felt he would be the right match for their home. Knowing what a kind family and wonderful home this would be for Charlie we replied with a YES please come meet him and see what you think. It was a match and we did the paper work that made Charlie officially a part of the Hamilton family. He was now Whiskey Hamilton. We said good by as the Hamiltons son carried Whiskey to the car. We thank God for families like the Hamiltons who are willing to take in the special ones who really need a break.

Our Mission
Retrievers & Friends of
Southern California, Inc., was formed to rescue and re-home Golden
Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers, providing an alternative to the
animal shelter for owners who can no longer keep their dogs. We
are a full-service rescue, with dogs coming to us from all over the
Southern California area for foster care services. RFSC not only
provides care for dogs while they are waiting for adoption, but we
provide follow-up assistance for the life of the dog. If for any
reason a family can not keep a dog, the dog is brought back to the
organization for placement. To ensure that this occurs, we have
refined our geographic adoption area to Riverside, San Bernardino, San
Diego, and Orange counties.
In addition to Golden
Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers, RFSC also accepts mixed breeds and
other small purebred dogs as space allows. We accept Goldens and
Labs of all ages, including seniors and those with special needs.
All dogs are spayed and neutered and updated on vaccinations if not
already done by the owner. Dogs with special medical needs
are further evaluated by our veterinarian for treatment. Your
donations are always appreciated and help us to continue to care for
these special dogs. Because we are an all-volunteer group, 100% of
all adoption fees and donations are used for the care of the dogs in our
program. Your tax-deductible donations are appreciated!
