Rescue A Golden of Arizona

🐾 FRIDAY PUPDATE! Charlie 🐾

Charlie (in the back) and Teddy (front) were both adopted from Rescue A Golden of Arizona.

Charlie, the latest golden added to this family has been a wonderful addition. Charlie is pure joy! She always wakes the family up with kisses and is full of love and energy each day.

Charlie loves to go on her daily walks with Teddy and greets neighbors along the way. Her most favorite thing is her ball - she loves to play fetch and retrieve 💕

One interesting trait of Charlie is that she purrs like a cat--which is so different for a golden. "We are so thankful Charlie is in our lives - we love her to pieces", 🐕💕

You too can adopt a golden retriever. The first step is to visit our website at www.golden-retriever.org and fill out an application.

IN MEMORY 💛 Baxter C

"We adopted our beautiful boy from Rescue a Golden of Arizona 6 1/2 years ago. When he came to us his name was Dexter, and we renamed him Baxter. He was the sweetest most gentle soul in the world and we loved him dearly. Sadly, we had to walk Baxter over the Rainbow Bridge to be with my husband who passed away in February.

Baxter had hemangiosarcoma which had metastasized into his abdomen, lungs and kidney. The two most precious beings in my life are together in heaven. My heart aches for both of them – I have the most wonderful memories to keep with me for ever. Thank you Rescue a Golden for bringing Baxter into our family!"

Our "In Memory" messages are to honor those Rescue A Golden of Arizona rescued dogs who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge. If you would like to make a memory for your golden, please complete the memorial form here: https://golden-retriever.org/our-dogs/in-memory/

🐾Weekly PUPdate –Cooper now Craig 🐾

“We are so in love with our boy Craig!

We've had Craig for just over five months now, and what a journey it's been. At a little under one year old when he came to us, we were his third home in just one month, so those first few weeks were a tough transition for everyone. There was a lot of patience, reassurance, and learning each other's rhythms.

Today, Craig is the sweetest, most chill boy. He's really settled into his forever home, and his personality is beginning to shine. He's learning new tricks- he goes right to "his place" and lays down when he hears the garage door or doorbell. He also politely waits for a kiss on the head before eating his food. He loves playing tug, catching bites of apple mid-air, and (with permission!) absolutely destroying cardboard boxes. He keeps us entertained.

Craig is a champion cuddler first thing in the morning when he snuggles in bed with his dad. He gets along beautifully with all dogs and people, and his gentle, happy energy makes everyone fall in love with him.

We are so grateful to have him and can't wait to take him to the lake this summer for his next big adventure, swimming and paddle boarding. Thank you, Rescue A Golden of Arizona, for helping us find our perfect boy- Craig is home.”
