Great news, Daphne was adopted by a loving family and has two new canine siblings to share her life with! I’m sure Daphne will teach them a thing or two about searching for treats!

I would like everyone to meet Maxey. He is a male golden retriever, probably mixed with another breed – but golden enough for us – and is 8 years old. Seven years ago, he was dumped at a shelter in Virginia and has lived there ever since. It wasn’t Maxey’s fault that he was not adopted, he is obviously a very sweet soul. But because he spent most of his time at the shelter outside in a large pack of dogs with few people around, he is lacking a bit in his social skills. DVGRR was happy to rescue him and will be able to help him start learning how great people can be to cuddle, how neat it can be to play with toys and how good he will feel with proper vet care and nutrition. We are fortunate and thankful for everyone who supports Project Home Life, which makes it possible for us to help rehabilitate Maxey!
This is a video of Maxey. His whole life has been uprooted, so he is anxious right now in this transition period. I will be posting videos so you can witness his progress. We have high hopes for this guy! Click here if you would like to sponsor Maxey or one of the other dogs in Project Home Life. You can also support Maxey and other PHL dogs by donating an item on their wish list!
I cannot believe this beautiful dog was in a shelter for 7 years! It goes to show that all shelters don’t either have the means or knowledge to place a great dog esp. at a young age a home. It’s a shame that Maxey didn’t come to DVGRR years ago. I’m sure he will find a great home soon with the skills you have.
Yes, a lot of shelters are underfunded or are located in places where they don’t get a lot of good applicants – I think both were the case in this instance. We are thankful they contacted DVGRR and we also want to spread the word to other shelters having problems placing Goldens that we are available to help!
If anyone can bring Maxey around the WONDER PEOPLE at DVGRR can do it. The angels on earth ofGolden Retriever Rescue–the human HEARTS and HANDS at DVGRR,
LOVE and CARE abound!!! WE love you all, Merrily and Tucker-B XO
First I am so happy about Daphne being adopted. I LOVE YOU GUYS WHAT YOU/WE DO!!!!!!!! Maxey is in great hands. Best Wishes Jim, Honey & Charlie. HAPPY NEW YEAR
