Golden Retrievers waiting for adoption in Palm Beach County
As NBC Miami reports, Big Dog Ranch Rescue is preparing 45 Golden Retrievers for adoption. The rescue organization took them under its care after rescuing them from a breeder.
Natalie Paige from Big Dog Ranch Rescue shared the unfortunate circumstances surrounding the rescue. In her words, “It was a very sad situation … where the breeder was very overwhelmed with the amount of dogs as you can see from some of the dogs we have here.”
Additionally, Paige revealed that the dogs lived in dire conditions. Some of the Golden Retrievers were living in pens devoid of any cover, exposed to the harsh snowy weather.
Paige expressed the organization’s heartfelt desire to assist all animals in need, stating, “If we could take them all, we would, but we are always pushing the capacity to be able to help other dogs in need.” However, she emphasized the ongoing challenge of balancing their capacity to provide care while ensuring they can continue aiding other dogs requiring assistance.
Despite the challenges, Big Dog Ranch Rescue generously provided 80 bags of food to support the breeder as approximately 60 Golden Retrievers are still awaiting rescue in Virginia. Their efforts reflect a continued commitment to aiding these dogs and ensuring their well-being as they work towards their hopeful rescue.
Moreover, the Goldies, including puppies and senior dogs, are currently undergoing a two-week quarantine period. Roxana Villavedra, responsible for their medical care during this phase, stated, “Once they are cleared medically, they can be shown to adopters, and then they can go home.”
