Rita's Beryl arrived in the US a few months back. Even before she came, we knew she'd had a small mass removed from her leg that turned out to be a grade II mast cell tumor, which had sloppy margins. Mast cells tumors like this have a high probability of recurring and spreading, and the vets estimate her outlook to be about 3 years.
Lucky for Beryl, Erik and Kristen, members of our foster network, had recently come back into town and were ready to start fostering, and thought Beryl looked like a good possibility for them, so off she went. Since Beryl was an unknown with cats and the Erik and Kristen had recently brought home an adopted kitten, we thought we'd give it some time to see how she got on with her feline roomie.
Erik called last night to say that Beryl's moved right in and made herself part of the family. She seems to enjoy catching the kitten to cuddle with, and since the kitten doesn't seem to mind, it's working out for everyone. So Beryl's been invited to stay with the Erik and Kristen until her time comes, and we hope that's a good long time!

Project Taiwan
In December, 2008, we were alerted to the issue of homeless Goldens in Taiwan through an email from a young rescuer named Rita. Taiwan is population-dense and when folks find that living in close quarters with a big dog isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, the dogs either go a shelter, where they’re euthanized after 7 days, or get turned out on the streets. Rita and MJ are two dog-loving young ladies who want to make a difference. Despite huge odds and with an amazing level of effort, they are doing incredible things without many resources. GRCGLAR is happy to assist Rita's effort by finding these long-distance Goldens homes in the U.S. read more...
Since January 2009, 113 Goldens have come home!
