Remember heart murmur puppy Clint whose 2022 intake memory we posted a couple days ago? Here he is today still thriving with wonderful mom Karen and family. He wasn't expected to make it past age 2 so every day is a blessing. Kudos to this kind family that has given him such a beautiful life and so much love!

Another rescue dog living his best life! Here's Pat and Gary's Olly at CORA rehabilitation center in Hunter’s Creek in Orlando. They say he is "their" therapy dog, and he always gets a warm welcome there. He gets to spend a lot of time with each person — patients and staff -- offering them comfort and stress relief. (He loves it because he’s the only dog, and he gets all the attention.) One year ago, he was captured as a stray and put in a high-kill shelter. Thanks to Naples Humane Society and Golden Retriever Rescue of Southwest Florida for saving him! He passed his therapy dog certification in February and he's been on the job ever since -- visiting assisted living facilities, memory care units, and in-patient and out-patient rehabilitation centers. He's a natural at it!

Happy hearts here at the rescue! Finn and Luna have been delivered to their new home with Linda, and they have settled in spectacularly! We love being able to help owners in crisis and find perfect homes for dogs in need!

Thousands of Golden Retrievers and their owners gather every year in Golden, Colorado, for the “Goldens in Golden” event celebrating national Golden Retriever Day. Started in 2019, it brings joy to dog lovers and helps boost winter tourism in the area.

URGENT!!!! Reba and Dolly are in need of a foster home with a fenced yard and no other dogs. Since leaving the shelter yesterday, they are showing signs of kennel cough and could be contagious. They have been to the vet and are on medication. And although they are sweet velcro girls, they are also challenging to walk on the leash. If you are an approved foster and meet these criteria, please reach out to Jeanine Petroulakis Thomson or Lynette asap!!!

It was a slower day at the Market today, but Simba did his best to say hello to all the folks who came within range of our booth. Many thanks to Candy for helping us staff the booth. We met some very nice folks who submitted adoption applications and are hoping to have a new best friend soon. Thanks to all who stopped by. We will see you again next week.

Who loves big, handsome red boys?! Here's 5-year-old Rhett, an "almost purebred" neutered male who is good with dogs, cats and kids, UTD and on prevention. We are accepting apps for this amazing fellow from families in SW and Central Florida. He is crate and house-trained, sweet and gentle, but does pull a little on the leash. Rhett loves toys and would enjoy a home with a fenced yard. He is hypothyroid and has lost 7 pounds since being on meds. He is now down to 120 # with quite a few more to go. If you are an approved adopter and want a gentle, special fellow, please reach out to Jeanine or Lynette. If not yet approved, please go to www.grrswf.org and fill out an application.
