Dear Golden Lovers,

As FHGRR celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, I was asked to reflect on my own involvement with the group, which dates back to the rescue’s beginnings. I got involved with

FHGRR soon after it was created. My husband, Jim, and I were the first official fosters, not

counting the original board members. (Though we are limited in our ability to foster these

days, we still open our home to a needy Golden when we can.) I was the Intake Coordinator-

in-training for about a year before taking on this responsibility in its totality.

Goldens come to FHGRR from many places and for many reasons. FHGRR has a wonderful

working relationship with many area shelters, whose staff calls us when a Golden comes in.

Dogs also come to us surrendered by their owners. This happens for many reasons too, some

better than others. There might be death, illness or divorce in the family, or a change of

economic status whereby the family can no longer afford to keep their pet. Other reasons run

the gamut from ―we have no time for the dog‖ and ―we are having a baby‖ to ―we are moving

and can’t bring the dog‖ and ―this dog is too wild/old/sick, etc.‖

Many have asked me if I get upset at owners for giving up their dogs. Honestly, I used to get

riled (how much trouble can an eleven-year-old dog be?), but I have mellowed. At least these

owners are putting their dogs in rescue rather than dumping them on the street (that happens

too, unfortunately!). I am grateful to people for contacting FHGRR. As each Golden comes in,

I whisper in its ear that I know things are going to be better, and that a warm home and loving

hearts are waiting just for them.

As with all activities within FHGRR, intake happens with the help of very special volunteers in North and South Carolina who help to contact the owners and shelters, evaluate the dogs,

and transport them to our wonderful network of vets who examine and heal our Goldens

before they are placed in foster care.

I am passionate about animal rescue,

particularly Golden Retrievers, and I

cannot tell you what a great feeling it is

when you know you are giving a Golden

its first steps towards a better life. That is

why I love the intake aspect of rescue.

My pay is priceless slobbery kisses,

wagging tails and a car full of Golden

fur—what more could anyone want?

Happy 10th Anniversary, FHGRR!

Adoption Updates and Success Stories

Jackson

We have had Jackson home with us for just three weeks,

and to quote my father when visiting the other night, ―He

sure has adjusted well!‖ To say he is doing great is an

understatement, and we couldn't be happier. Our two

cats, Buzz and Woody, are more and more comfortable

with Jackson as the days go by. He would LOVE for

them to play with him, but they are still a bit unsure about that. The other morning, Jackson brought his ring-shaped

tug toy over to Woody and dropped it in front of him.

Jackson looked quite puzzled when the cat just sat there. I

was laughing out loud; it was too cute! We have had a few thunder storms, and the thunder shirt

that his foster mom bought for him works great. Thank-

fully, we have been home to calm and comfort Jackson

during any storms, so we have had no problems. We also have not had any accidents in the house and no problems

with him chewing anything that isn't his to chew. He is a

dream, and we are once again thrilled with Foothills

Golden Retriever Rescue for matching us with such a

wonderful addition to our family!

– Becky and Jason Walker

Bella

After losing our beloved rescue Golden, Bonnie, on July

4th, Ted and I were heartbroken. Anyone who has lost a

Golden knows exactly what I am talking about. Because

I had a family trip planned, we delayed requesting

another dog until my return. As always, the amazing peo-

ple at FHGRR have matched us with the most perfect dog

for our lifestyle. On August 13, Andrea emailed that a

young girl had been brought into the system. She had

recently had a litter of pups, had been spayed and was

heartworm positive. Andrea attached a photo, and with-

out any hesitation, we said YES!

The next day, we picked up our new pup, who we imme-

diately named Bella because she is so beautiful. She is the

most loving, sweet dog and certainly has healed our bro-

ken hearts. We have always given our dogs heartworm prevention so it was a new experience to keep a young

(20 months old) dog quiet for four weeks! The time will

go by fast, though, and we look forward to taking her on

walks and for swims in the lake near our home. We un-

derstand that Bella had some rough beginnings and we

are so grateful to have her with us.

Thank you, thank you, FHGRR, for all that you do to

match people with the best dogs in the world! We are

glad to help this wonderful, gentle dog let go of all the

past stress she has experienced in her young life.

– Hedy and Ted Okolichany

Editor’s Note: Bella began her domestic life tied up in a backyard with no shelter from the heat. Not spayed, she

ended up with a litter of 7 puppies (only 5 of which sur-

vived) before being rescued by a caring volunteer with

Concerned Citizens for Animals. We are happy to say

that thanks to a number of wonderful folks who helped

her along the way, Bella now has a loving forever home!

Molly

Molly was recently adopted and went to her new home on

October 8th. The new family reports that they LOVE Molly

and that she is so well-behaved!

– Karen Blackwell (Molly’s foster mom)

Chance

Earlier this year, we suffered the heartbreak of losing our

nine- year-old Golden girl, Misty, to cancer. Wanting to

begin anew, my husband and I turned to Foothills Golden

Retriever Rescue. We filled out our application and had our

home visit done, but never dreamed that our new guy

would be home with us that same week. I will never forget

the first time we laid eyes on this handsome boy. We

jumped at the opportunity to adopt him.

His name was Chuck, we call him ―Chance.‖ At first, he

was sad and confused and would just lie at the back door

waiting to go home. It broke my heart that he had been

shuffled around so many times before the loving group of

people at the rescue took him in. His foster mom called

many times to check on his progress. He had a tough time

initially; he did not want to eat and had terrible diarrhea.

We took him to the vet several times, but the vet found him to be in excellent health and said to be patient with him.

We put him on a special diet and he gradually started to eat

more. I am proud to say he has gained almost seven pounds

in the past four months.

Chance has the best house manners. He doesn’t chew any-

thing that is not his and he will not jump on the furniture—

except if invited. He has lots of energy and will let you

know when it’s time to go to the park. Chance—all 80

pounds of him—freely jumps on my husband’s lap! He

prefers to play ball in the house and he knows that when we

sit down at night to relax that is his time to play. We have

tried to take him for a swim at the Dupont Forest (don’t all

Goldens love the water?), but he sits on a rock and looks at

us as if to say: ―What do you want me to do?‖

Chance does have a crazy side. He likes to chase cars,

whether or not he is riding in one. When riding in our SUV,

Chance makes the most ridiculous noises, and when we

come to an intersection, he spins around and barks until all

of the cars pass. People who have witnessed this laugh hys-

terically. He also has escaped twice and taken off down our

street, but five seconds later he comes back, chasing a car

up the hill and then walking leisurely up the driveway.

We are careful when we grocery shop, because in the car,

our boy’s good manners fly out the window. He empties

the food bags faster than we can drive home. He has eaten

three umbrellas, chewed up his safety harness, and eaten

two leashes . . . and the list goes on. The back of our car is

now an empty area – we leave nothing to ―Chance!‖

Chance has brought energy, laughter and love back into our

home. Thank you to the Foothills Rescue group. We are

blessed to have a golden like Chance in our lives.

Salsa

Thanks to you, FHGRR, and all involved, for making Salsa available for adoption! She is such a sweet girl,

and she will be loved and made to feel she's a very spe-

cial family member in our home. There is a quality about

her that just fits perfectly into our family. It's hard to de-

scribe the feeling – but you just "know" when you have

the right one!

Recently, we took Salsa on her first hike, up in the Triple

Falls area of NC. She really enjoyed the hike, wanted to

wade in the water (cold!), and navigate the stairway lead-

ing down to the falls and back up again – about 120

steps! She behaved perfectly and loved all the new

smells, new people she met on the trails, and just the

whole experience. Several people complimented Salsa on

her appearance and demeanor.

We have great respect and appreciation for FHGRR, and

especially for the fosters. You are the real heroes in taking

in these rescue dogs, caring for them, and working so

patiently with them! It can't be easy to care for and love these special dogs and then release them for adoption

after weeks or months of getting attached to them.

So, a big THANK YOU! Be sure we will continue to love

and care for Salsa in her new home! We couldn't be more

happy with her!

– Tom and Carol Oviatt

Cassie

When I arrived at her foster home to pick Cassie up, it

was as if she had been expecting me. She was so beauti-

ful and sweet, I loved her immediately. In her past, Cassie had been abused and neglected, and turned up at a shelter

very underweight and positive for heartworms. Under the

protection of FHGRR, she received such good medical

care and nurturing in her foster home, that in just a few months she was healthy and strong, and wonderfully ca-

pable of both giving and receiving love.

Cassie feels duty-bound to keep the squirrels out of my

yard. At first she seemed to believe I had brought her

home to rid my house of cats too. She chased, and they

hissed and ran. I set up baby gates and began to negotiate

with both sides. Once Cassie realized that I considered

Betsy and Bailey to be pets, not vermin, she stopped

chasing, the cats stopped running, and soon they were

cautiously sniffing each other. I was only hoping for

peaceful coexistence, but now they are friends, even

snuggling against each other sometimes.

We humans who have had bad childhoods (I am one)

often have a hard time getting over it. Dogs are different.

Once they are within the walls of a loving home, they

know it, and quickly decide that this world is a good

place. This has been my experience with Cassie, and she

has helped me see there is great good in this world too. I

am grateful to FHGRR, and forever in their debt for sav-

ing Cassie from whatever awfulness she came from, and

creating for me a very dear, and fun, friend.

Wolfie

Seven years ago, FHGRR rescued our wonderful dog

from a shelter shortly before he was to be put to sleep. One

of your volunteers was at the shelter to pick up a Golden and she saw our heartworm-positive two-year-old boy. On

the spot, she made the decision to rescue him, even though

he was a mix. We will be forever grateful that she did.

Wolfie has been a perfect dog ever since he arrived at our

home. He’s become very popular in our neighborhood and

even throughout the town because we walk him frequently

and take him with us wherever dogs are allowed—and

even some places where they aren’t (Wolfie is welcome because he’s such a gentle, well-behaved boy). His

smiling face and inviting demeanor draw people to him,

and have led us to meet several people who have become

friends.

Wherever we go, people ask us what breed he is, since he

is obviously a mix. We’ve always said: ―Golden Retriever

mixed with something fluffy.‖ I always thought he was a

Samoyed mix.

Curiosity final got the better of us and we decided to have

his DNA tested—and to have a party to celebrate his

heritage. We asked guests to bring two PetCo cards, one to

be donated to FHGRR and one to our local animal shelter.

We were surprised by the DNA test results. According to

Canine Heritage, Wolfie doesn’t have any Golden in him!

They say he’s a mix of Vizsla, German Shepherd, Borzoi

and some other unidentified breeds.

Of course, we don't care what his is. We love him dearly

and are delighted that he looks enough like a Golden

Retriever that the volunteer was moved to rescue him.

Thank you, once again, for saving our beloved boy and

uniting him with us. Keep up the good work!

– Robert and Michelle Blumenthal

Hunter

It has only been since September that Hunter adopted us,

but it feels like he has been here for so much longer. He

has fit so well into our little family! Hunter came into the

rescue with a collar embedded in his neck, yet with

boundless energy and spirit. He has come such a long way

in such a short period of time, and is a very happy boy who adores belly rubs and toys, especially tennis balls. He does

have a few unresolved medical issues, but he doesn't let

them slow him down. Hunter is such a big puppy, and

brings so much joy to our lives! Many thanks to Cheryl

and the other FHGRR volunteers!!!

FHGRR 10th Annual Reunion

A good time was had by all at this year’s reunion! For those who couldn’t attend, here are some scenes from the picnic.

Page 8 GOLDEN GUARDIANS

The Rainbow Bridge Every time I lose a dog, they take a piece of my heart with them. And every new dog who comes into my life, gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are.

– Author Unknown

Memorial to Bo (June 30,1995 – October 7, 2010)

The passage of a gentleman, a companion and a wonderful

friend. Greeting all visitors to his home, making sure he

left some hair on them, tail wagging, eyes alight with hap-

piness to see them. Bonnie and I have owned many dogs

over the years and seen them to the Rainbow Bridge, but Bo is the first one ever I have shed tears over and lost my

cool as I stood beside him.

We fostered and later became foster failures in August

2003. Bo supposedly had a mean streak and was too old

for his original family. Our daughter, Beth, was fostering him shortly after he was neutered, and owing to a combi-

nation of her son's idiocy and the dog’s soreness after his

surgery, he bit Beth. She called us in a state of panic and

the following day we drove to Greenville and picked up

Bo to foster.

The following day, Bo and I had a discussion on who was

the Alpha. I won, without violence, and we settled in. Two

families came, in turn, to check him out for adoption. He

would not cooperate, wanted to go outside, and wanted

nothing to do with them – obviously causing bad vibes

with the prospective adoptors. It took a while, but Bonnie

and I finally figured out where he wanted to be and he re-

sided in our home for seven wonderful years.

Bo lost the power to stand on rear legs, his eyes were glaz-

ing over and at nighttime he was lost. When I took him to

the vet in Fort Jackson, we had to carry him in, as he

would fall down after three or four steps. I was there the

whole time; I could not leave him.

Maggie remains with us, her kidneys are failing and she is

on prescription dog food, but she is the same chow hound

she always has been.

FHGRR gave us the opportunity to know Bo and we were

blessed by his presence. He is and will be missed. Good-

bye, Bo, and God bless.

– Dave and Bonnie Hutchison

Memorial to Dixie

Dixie or Dixie-Anna, as the kids refer to her, has been part

of the Ide family since 2001 when FHGRR got a call from

a woman who found her wandering around her neighbor-

hood. Dixie kept jumping their fence, and the woman was

afraid the dog would get hit by a car.

She was more lab than golden, but FHGRR was brand new

at this time, so they took her in. My intent was to foster

her, but she quickly fit into our family, so we adopted her. She has been a fence-jumper her entire life, but she

always came home – usually after finding a stinky creek to

play in! She always was a very good judge of character

and has only befriended males who were dog lovers. She

Page 9 Fall 2010

The Rainbow Bridge continued

was Maxwell’s playmate and my bedmate when my hus-

band was away.

Dixie was truly loved by our entire family, but especially

by our kids. There will be an empty place in our hearts and

our home with her gone. We know she will be free from

any suffering at the Rainbow Bridge.

– Lori Wilson-Ide

Memorial to Carly

Carly Prevatte crossed on January l2, 2010. She had been

waiting at the Bridge patiently during her 1-1/2-year strug-gle with cancer. She remained very strong, yet at times she

was extremely sick. She took her last ride to the vet, where-

upon she decided she wanted instead to come back home

with me.

Later that evening, I spread her blanket in the kitchen. I

told her she was a beautiful lady and a good girl and that

mommy loved her very much, but it was okay with me if

she needed to go. I looked at her and she looked backed at me, as if to say, ―Oh! Thank you mommy.‖ We both knew

it was time.

She waited until I went to sleep and didn't make a sound;

she crossed in the stillest part of the night. I awoke at 5a.m.

and discovered her peacefully laid out as if she was sleep-

ing. How graceful and beautiful she was! She was deter-

mined to be in her environment and cross in her own time.

If there is any good in this, then her peaceful passing was

indeed a blessing. Sad, but yet wonderful and pain-free – and of her own choosing. I continue to be amazed at these

wonderful Golden creatures. Carly, mommy loves you.

– Barbara Prevatte

Beau’s Woes

Meet Beau. This poor, sweet, senior gentleman came

into rescue from the Anderson shelter. He is estimated to be about 8 years old and came in severely under-

weight with heartworms, sarcoptic mange and intesti-

nal worms. The vet will need to get Beau’s weight up

and his skin healed before he can be neutered and be-

gin his heartworm treatment.

We believe Beau is another casualty of this poor econ-

omy. His care and attention was probably one of the

first things his family had to sacrifice in order to make

ends meet. It's obvious that his condition was left un-

attended for a considerable time.

Restoring Beau's health won't be a quick fix by any

means, but just knowing he is finally getting help

makes us all feel a little better. We will be looking for

a foster home that understands his recovery won't hap-

pen overnight. Most of all, we want Beau to know he

is loved.

Unfortunately, Beau’s story is just one of many that

FHGRR is seeing these days. If you can make a dona-

tion, it will help to offset the many expenses we are

seeing with yet another senior Golden in need.

How Smart Is Your Dog?

If you think dogs can’t count, try putting three

dog biscuits in your pocket and then give him

only two of them.

HELPFUL TIPS AND NEW PRODUCTS By Barb Watkins

For a happy dog and a clean home, try these tips:

To neutralize the odor from full poop bags in the

trash bin, throw in a few handfuls of cat litter.

Wear rubber gloves while cleaning the couch – dog

fur sticks to them.

Silicone pastry brushes are a great tool to clean dog

hair from the computer keyboard.

A spice-tea bag in the vacuum cleaner bag gives a

nice scent to a room.

To keep your dog away from cat food and litter

boxes, install a pressure-mounted baby gate in the

doorway, a few inches above the floor. Cats can

scoot underneath but Goldens cannot.

Dilute dog shampoo with some water and put it in a

squeeze bottle. It lasts longer and goes through the

coat easier that way.

To remove a burr from your dog’s undercoat, use a

sewing seam ripper to pick at the hairs around the

burr until it can be pulled off.

Clean the dog’s feeding area with a mixture of ½ cup

of white vinegar, ¼ cup of rubbing alcohol and wa-

ter. Put the mixture into a bottle, spray, and wipe off.

Sprinkle baking soda on your dog’s bed, wait 15

minutes, and vacuum.

Clean dog brushes in a mixture of warm water, 1

tablespoon of dish soap and ¼ cup of Borax.

Put a bottle of tea tree oil in your dog’s First Aid Kit.

It’s great for small skin abrasions.

When out for a long walk, carry a plastic shower cap

in your pocket. It can be filled at any water source

and used as a doggie drinking bowl.

And here are a few new products to check out:

Does your dog have a closet full of collars? You may not

use them because moving the tags from one to another

can be so difficult. If so, try the new carabineer-style

collar clip at www.rubitclip.com. It allows tags to be

moved easily from one collar to another.

If the jangling of dog tags annoys you, check out Out-

ward Hound’s Pet Collar ID Bag.

And Chuckit! has come out with a new football toy that’s

lots of fun.
