Golden Retrievers – While our mission has always been to

While our mission has always been to rescue Goldens from South Florida and Puerto Rico, in December 2020 Golden Rescue South Florida expanded its mission to include the rescue of 20 Goldens from China,” the organization says on its website. “Their lives have changed 180 degrees from tortured and horribly treated, abandoned, abused and neglected to loved and adored,” adds Lisa Hodgson, vice president of Golden Rescue South Florida. These dogs were able to find new homes thanks to the work of Golden Rescue South Florida, which has rescued about 84 Goldens from China in the past six months, WPEC-TV reported. Three months of planning came to an end Sunday when a parade of golden retrievers arrived at the Lilac Street Dog Park in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. Our story and our success has spread “far and wide,” the group explained on a page dedicated to rescuing dogs from China. Some were simply adopted, others were pulled from their cages and saved from certain death, rescued from the China meat trade before being brought to Vancouver, then to Seattle and finally to Florida. The adoption candidates waited several months for the dogs they chose to reach their very positive final destination and provide a comfortable life for the 20 Goldens, who range in age from 1 to 8 years old. “They know they’re giving them a much better life and experience than they could have,” Tracy Griffis, who was at the dog park on Lilac Street, told WPTV-TV. She has many interests that keep “her” busy: trying new recipes, enjoying the outdoors, discussing funny topics, reading, drawing, people-watching, developing lesson plans and writing biographies. As you can imagine, organizing and managing a rescue operation of this magnitude takes a lot of time and money. In a Facebook post, the rescue organization wrote that the cost of a full veterinary exam for the pups and bringing them to the U.S. ranges from $2,600 to $2,800 per dog. There are stories of Goldens being mistreated and bitches being “kicked out” when they could no longer be fostered with them. Those in attendance at the adoption event cheered the dog car pulling up, and for many, it was a day of joy as the Sunshine State got a little more golden.

The Biden administration’s argument that border security should be relaxed to accommodate defenseless refugees took a hit this month.
