Spotlight on: Goldie! |
|
This is beautiful Goldie! She was turned in to RFSC just before Christmas, Goldie is 13 years old. She came to us very skinny and not well cared for. Goldie's owner told us they no longer wanted her because of her age. They felt she was going to be needing medical care that they did not want to pay for. They also said it was Christmas and they did not want her in the way. With just her old dirty bed and a wave from the only family she had known, she was now our dog.

Goldie is blind in her left eye and does walk with a limp. As you can see she had no problem putting on the needed weight, and even might need to now cut back on the treats a little. Goldie has been a blessing to our family here at RFSC. Any one who comes to visit gets welcomed by Goldie. She also greets the new dogs and puts them at ease when they first arrive. Here at RFSC many very special older dogs have come in that might not be considered adoptable. We've been able to help many dogs like Goldie thanks to the generosity of many special people who have donated over the years.
We would also like to give a special thanks to Allen Blackmore and Gianna Poss for their monthly support, that makes all the difference. |

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!
