Saving Goldie

Goldie’s Story

At 6 months old this little girl should have her whole happy life ahead of her but when we found her she was in such a bad mental and physical state that we wondered if she’d make it.

Goldie is a prime example of a dog who has been badly let down by people and given no chance right from the start.

She obviously hadn’t been given any training or socialisation whatsoever in her puppyhood and the result was an anxious, frightened, frustrated dog with no idea how to deal with the world. We imagine she was kept on her own in a back yard or garage all day long.

She was also malnourished and we nearly lost her to a gastric problem, she needed almost a week’s intensive care at our vet when she arrived.

Once a dog is in our care we do everything we possibly can to ensure they are happy and healthy and prepared for a new life, but this can be incredibly expensive.

Goldie needed both intensive health care and now needs intensive mental health care.

She badly needs behavioural work and some intensive training right now if she is to have a successful future, she has a lot to catch up on. We have a place for her in a residential training programme with a wonderful force-free, positive reinforcement, professional trainer to help her on the road to recovery and an amazing foster family who are ready to help her.

So she has such a great team behind her but we just need help with the funds for her residential training and some of her vet bill. We have covered as much as we can ourselves but so need your help to get us, and her, over the line.
