If you’ve decided to rescue a golden retriever…
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Your future pup can’t wait to share his overflowing love with you.
Rescuing a golden retriever is one of the best things you can do, but it can also be a little scary…
You don’t know their parents or the previous situation they were in…
And it might take a little bit of time for you two to get used to each other…
But guess what?
It’ll be totally worth it.
As if saving a golden retriever’s life wasn’t enough reason to rescue a golden, you’ll be continuously repaid with slobbery kisses and fluffy hugs.
Does it get any better than that?
