As a 501(c) 3 non-profit, we rescue Golden Retrievers from Asian dog slaughterhouses, rehab them in China/South Korea, bring them to the US and train them to be therapy dogs for US military Veterans.  This is an A-Z solution and beyond rewarding for us.  In the fall of 2019, we have 150+ Golden's arriving!  We are always looking for volunteers.
