Part of a rescue from a large breeding operation, Guinevere (affectionately known as Gwen) was one of 33 dogs welcomed in May and one of two that were pregnant. Three weeks later, she gave birth to 11 puppies. At two years of age, she had been through this before…more than once. Unsocialized to humans, she is shy and timid with people, but a devoted mom…always rushing back to her babes and forever doing her own headcount to keep track of them all. While they relentlessly pestered and stalked her, she was a patient and loving mom. With her puppies all home, it’s Gwen’s turn to find a forever home of her own. She is off at foster, decompressing and being spoiled and pampered. She is still shy, but compliant, and gradually developing trust and confidence. It takes time, patience, and a tender heart to bond with her – but she has shown she will lean into love. When she feels comfortable, she will show her playful side, bounding across the yard, collecting all her toy babies, and soaking up pets. A second, calm dog may be a help to her, but is not a requirement. At foster, she has learned house manners, finds safety in her crate but is increasingly coming out seeking company, and recently discovered the joys of an actual dog bed! This gentle girl with a Golden heart has raised her last litter of pups. She has more than earned the chance to begin a fresh new chapter in a home of her own. If you are the right person(s) for Gwen and an approved adopter, give us a call. If not approved yet, visit her profile and complete an application. Thank you! www.hbgrr.org

This is what a Wednesday looks like at Homeward Bound: A blind and possibly deaf puppy wakes up in the safety of our care after being dumped in a field just 10 minutes from our rescue. Our president makes a trip to the Central Valley on a half hour’s notice to pick up six seized dogs (one of them pregnant) to make room for six others that would have been euthanized for space (that’s 12 saved in reality). Along the way, she picks up a seventh dog - neglected, discarded, and covered in ticks. Meanwhile, a Taxi team member travels to Tulare to pick up two emaciated Goldens dumped in a reservoir and left to die. It’s bad out there, folks. And it’s not getting easier. But we can keep doing it because we have you and our army of amazing volunteers by our side. For these 16 dogs…it was a good Wednesday.

Leaving Las Vegas…our volunteer, Ed, is on the road with six beautiful dogs from Golden Retriever Rescue Southern Nevada where a faithful rescue partner finds themselves without adopters. What a frightening thought. We’re so blessed and grateful not to be in that position, especially now when so many wonderful dogs are in need of homes. Because a one-way return van with air-conditioning was not available, our Golden Taxi volunteer made the 600-mile trek down and back to help six great dogs begin their second chapters. Look for them soon! And thank you, Ed!!

LATEST NEWS/NEEDS: Thanks to everyone who turned out to search. The trapper is asking that search teams now stand down, but that people in the area continue to keep their eyes out. She will be looking for food. Most importantly, we need a fresh sighting. If seen, take a picture and text (916) 768-3433 immediately. If possible, do a map pin drop on your phone. We have cleaned up old comments. Keep her in your prayers and CONTACT US if you have a sighting. Thank you all! Continued prayers.

Hey everyone! Halley here! I'm back! Not back at Homeward Bound (although I really do love it there), but I'm back here on their social media to drop an update on my wild life! You may remember that I stole a phone and posted my own dating profile to Homeward Bound’s social media last January (Jan17 if you want to look back and giggle) in search of a forever BOYFRIEND! Through much hard work, patience, and dedication, the fine folks at HBGRR FOUND MY MAN! He's patient, respectful, fun, and he has a coat like mine that he wears on his face. He really gets me! We are in our 4th wild month together, and we've already come so far in our relationship! Sure, there have been some peaks and valleys along the journey, but he's a stubborn one who just doesn't give up on me! Our walks, playtime, and rides in his truck are my favorite daily activities. I have a family of squirrels in my backyard now that I've developed a serious "friendship" with. I've learned that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE meeting new people, although I'm still working on how to feel the same about other dogs. I've developed a growing level of trust with my guy, and have allowed him to groom me, bathe me, clean my ears, and even brush my teeth! I just want to give a serious shout out to everyone at HBGRR
for their continued support and for their perseverance in finding the right guy for me! Please get your application in and give them a call to be matched up with the perfect one for you! Gotta go for now, I can hear my guy heading my way as he's discovered his phone is missing! Ha ha!! 🤣
