Dear Golden Lovers,
As FHGRR celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, I was asked to reflect on my own involvement with the group, which dates back to the rescue’s beginnings. I got involved with
FHGRR soon after it was created. My husband, Jim, and I were the first official fosters, not
counting the original board members. (Though we are limited in our ability to foster these
days, we still open our home to a needy Golden when we can.) I was the Intake Coordinator-
in-training for about a year before taking on this responsibility in its totality.
Goldens come to FHGRR from many places and for many reasons. FHGRR has a wonderful
working relationship with many area shelters, whose staff calls us when a Golden comes in.
Dogs also come to us surrendered by their owners. This happens for many reasons too, some
better than others. There might be death, illness or divorce in the family, or a change of
economic status whereby the family can no longer afford to keep their pet. Other reasons run
the gamut from ―we have no time for the dog‖ and ―we are having a baby‖ to ―we are moving
and can’t bring the dog‖ and ―this dog is too wild/old/sick, etc.‖
Many have asked me if I get upset at owners for giving up their dogs. Honestly, I used to get
riled (how much trouble can an eleven-year-old dog be?), but I have mellowed. At least these
owners are putting their dogs in rescue rather than dumping them on the street (that happens
too, unfortunately!). I am grateful to people for contacting FHGRR. As each Golden comes in,
I whisper in its ear that I know things are going to be better, and that a warm home and loving
hearts are waiting just for them.
As with all activities within FHGRR, intake happens with the help of very special volunteers in North and South Carolina who help to contact the owners and shelters, evaluate the dogs,
and transport them to our wonderful network of vets who examine and heal our Goldens
before they are placed in foster care.
I am passionate about animal rescue,
particularly Golden Retrievers, and I
cannot tell you what a great feeling it is
when you know you are giving a Golden
its first steps towards a better life. That is
why I love the intake aspect of rescue.
My pay is priceless slobbery kisses,
wagging tails and a car full of Golden
fur—what more could anyone want?
Happy 10th Anniversary, FHGRR!

Adoption Updates and Success Stories
Jackson
We have had Jackson home with us for just three weeks,
and to quote my father when visiting the other night, ―He
sure has adjusted well!‖ To say he is doing great is an
understatement, and we couldn't be happier. Our two
cats, Buzz and Woody, are more and more comfortable
with Jackson as the days go by. He would LOVE for
them to play with him, but they are still a bit unsure about that. The other morning, Jackson brought his ring-shaped
tug toy over to Woody and dropped it in front of him.
Jackson looked quite puzzled when the cat just sat there. I
was laughing out loud; it was too cute! We have had a few thunder storms, and the thunder shirt
that his foster mom bought for him works great. Thank-
fully, we have been home to calm and comfort Jackson
during any storms, so we have had no problems. We also have not had any accidents in the house and no problems
with him chewing anything that isn't his to chew. He is a
dream, and we are once again thrilled with Foothills
Golden Retriever Rescue for matching us with such a
wonderful addition to our family!
– Becky and Jason Walker
Bella
After losing our beloved rescue Golden, Bonnie, on July
4th, Ted and I were heartbroken. Anyone who has lost a
Golden knows exactly what I am talking about. Because
I had a family trip planned, we delayed requesting
another dog until my return. As always, the amazing peo-
ple at FHGRR have matched us with the most perfect dog
for our lifestyle. On August 13, Andrea emailed that a
young girl had been brought into the system. She had
recently had a litter of pups, had been spayed and was
heartworm positive. Andrea attached a photo, and with-
out any hesitation, we said YES!
The next day, we picked up our new pup, who we imme-
diately named Bella because she is so beautiful. She is the
most loving, sweet dog and certainly has healed our bro-
ken hearts. We have always given our dogs heartworm prevention so it was a new experience to keep a young
(20 months old) dog quiet for four weeks! The time will
go by fast, though, and we look forward to taking her on
walks and for swims in the lake near our home. We un-
derstand that Bella had some rough beginnings and we
are so grateful to have her with us.
Thank you, thank you, FHGRR, for all that you do to
match people with the best dogs in the world! We are
glad to help this wonderful, gentle dog let go of all the
past stress she has experienced in her young life.
– Hedy and Ted Okolichany
Editor’s Note: Bella began her domestic life tied up in a backyard with no shelter from the heat. Not spayed, she
ended up with a litter of 7 puppies (only 5 of which sur-
vived) before being rescued by a caring volunteer with
Concerned Citizens for Animals. We are happy to say
that thanks to a number of wonderful folks who helped
her along the way, Bella now has a loving forever home!

Molly
Molly was recently adopted and went to her new home on
October 8th. The new family reports that they LOVE Molly
and that she is so well-behaved!
– Karen Blackwell (Molly’s foster mom)
Chance
Earlier this year, we suffered the heartbreak of losing our
nine- year-old Golden girl, Misty, to cancer. Wanting to
begin anew, my husband and I turned to Foothills Golden
Retriever Rescue. We filled out our application and had our
home visit done, but never dreamed that our new guy
would be home with us that same week. I will never forget
the first time we laid eyes on this handsome boy. We
jumped at the opportunity to adopt him.
His name was Chuck, we call him ―Chance.‖ At first, he
was sad and confused and would just lie at the back door
waiting to go home. It broke my heart that he had been
shuffled around so many times before the loving group of
people at the rescue took him in. His foster mom called
many times to check on his progress. He had a tough time
initially; he did not want to eat and had terrible diarrhea.
We took him to the vet several times, but the vet found him to be in excellent health and said to be patient with him.
We put him on a special diet and he gradually started to eat
more. I am proud to say he has gained almost seven pounds
in the past four months.
Chance has the best house manners. He doesn’t chew any-
thing that is not his and he will not jump on the furniture—
except if invited. He has lots of energy and will let you
know when it’s time to go to the park. Chance—all 80
pounds of him—freely jumps on my husband’s lap! He
prefers to play ball in the house and he knows that when we
sit down at night to relax that is his time to play. We have
tried to take him for a swim at the Dupont Forest (don’t all
Goldens love the water?), but he sits on a rock and looks at
us as if to say: ―What do you want me to do?‖
Chance does have a crazy side. He likes to chase cars,
whether or not he is riding in one. When riding in our SUV,
Chance makes the most ridiculous noises, and when we
come to an intersection, he spins around and barks until all
of the cars pass. People who have witnessed this laugh hys-
terically. He also has escaped twice and taken off down our
street, but five seconds later he comes back, chasing a car
up the hill and then walking leisurely up the driveway.
We are careful when we grocery shop, because in the car,
our boy’s good manners fly out the window. He empties
the food bags faster than we can drive home. He has eaten
three umbrellas, chewed up his safety harness, and eaten
two leashes . . . and the list goes on. The back of our car is
now an empty area – we leave nothing to ―Chance!‖
Chance has brought energy, laughter and love back into our
home. Thank you to the Foothills Rescue group. We are
blessed to have a golden like Chance in our lives.

Salsa
Thanks to you, FHGRR, and all involved, for making Salsa available for adoption! She is such a sweet girl,
and she will be loved and made to feel she's a very spe-
cial family member in our home. There is a quality about
her that just fits perfectly into our family. It's hard to de-
scribe the feeling – but you just "know" when you have
the right one!
Recently, we took Salsa on her first hike, up in the Triple
Falls area of NC. She really enjoyed the hike, wanted to
wade in the water (cold!), and navigate the stairway lead-
ing down to the falls and back up again – about 120
steps! She behaved perfectly and loved all the new
smells, new people she met on the trails, and just the
whole experience. Several people complimented Salsa on
her appearance and demeanor.
We have great respect and appreciation for FHGRR, and
especially for the fosters. You are the real heroes in taking
in these rescue dogs, caring for them, and working so
patiently with them! It can't be easy to care for and love these special dogs and then release them for adoption
after weeks or months of getting attached to them.
So, a big THANK YOU! Be sure we will continue to love
and care for Salsa in her new home! We couldn't be more
happy with her!
– Tom and Carol Oviatt
Cassie
When I arrived at her foster home to pick Cassie up, it
was as if she had been expecting me. She was so beauti-
ful and sweet, I loved her immediately. In her past, Cassie had been abused and neglected, and turned up at a shelter
very underweight and positive for heartworms. Under the
protection of FHGRR, she received such good medical
care and nurturing in her foster home, that in just a few months she was healthy and strong, and wonderfully ca-
pable of both giving and receiving love.
Cassie feels duty-bound to keep the squirrels out of my
yard. At first she seemed to believe I had brought her
home to rid my house of cats too. She chased, and they
hissed and ran. I set up baby gates and began to negotiate
with both sides. Once Cassie realized that I considered
Betsy and Bailey to be pets, not vermin, she stopped
chasing, the cats stopped running, and soon they were
cautiously sniffing each other. I was only hoping for
peaceful coexistence, but now they are friends, even
snuggling against each other sometimes.
We humans who have had bad childhoods (I am one)
often have a hard time getting over it. Dogs are different.
Once they are within the walls of a loving home, they
know it, and quickly decide that this world is a good
place. This has been my experience with Cassie, and she
has helped me see there is great good in this world too. I
am grateful to FHGRR, and forever in their debt for sav-
ing Cassie from whatever awfulness she came from, and
creating for me a very dear, and fun, friend.

Wolfie
Seven years ago, FHGRR rescued our wonderful dog
from a shelter shortly before he was to be put to sleep. One
of your volunteers was at the shelter to pick up a Golden and she saw our heartworm-positive two-year-old boy. On
the spot, she made the decision to rescue him, even though
he was a mix. We will be forever grateful that she did.
Wolfie has been a perfect dog ever since he arrived at our
home. He’s become very popular in our neighborhood and
even throughout the town because we walk him frequently
and take him with us wherever dogs are allowed—and
even some places where they aren’t (Wolfie is welcome because he’s such a gentle, well-behaved boy). His
smiling face and inviting demeanor draw people to him,
and have led us to meet several people who have become
friends.
Wherever we go, people ask us what breed he is, since he
is obviously a mix. We’ve always said: ―Golden Retriever
mixed with something fluffy.‖ I always thought he was a
Samoyed mix.
Curiosity final got the better of us and we decided to have
his DNA tested—and to have a party to celebrate his
heritage. We asked guests to bring two PetCo cards, one to
be donated to FHGRR and one to our local animal shelter.
We were surprised by the DNA test results. According to
Canine Heritage, Wolfie doesn’t have any Golden in him!
They say he’s a mix of Vizsla, German Shepherd, Borzoi
and some other unidentified breeds.
Of course, we don't care what his is. We love him dearly
and are delighted that he looks enough like a Golden
Retriever that the volunteer was moved to rescue him.
Thank you, once again, for saving our beloved boy and
uniting him with us. Keep up the good work!
– Robert and Michelle Blumenthal
Hunter
It has only been since September that Hunter adopted us,
but it feels like he has been here for so much longer. He
has fit so well into our little family! Hunter came into the
rescue with a collar embedded in his neck, yet with
boundless energy and spirit. He has come such a long way
in such a short period of time, and is a very happy boy who adores belly rubs and toys, especially tennis balls. He does
have a few unresolved medical issues, but he doesn't let
them slow him down. Hunter is such a big puppy, and
brings so much joy to our lives! Many thanks to Cheryl
and the other FHGRR volunteers!!!

FHGRR 10th Annual Reunion
A good time was had by all at this year’s reunion! For those who couldn’t attend, here are some scenes from the picnic.
Page 8 GOLDEN GUARDIANS
The Rainbow Bridge Every time I lose a dog, they take a piece of my heart with them. And every new dog who comes into my life, gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are.

Memorial to Bo (June 30,1995 – October 7, 2010)
The passage of a gentleman, a companion and a wonderful
friend. Greeting all visitors to his home, making sure he
left some hair on them, tail wagging, eyes alight with hap-
piness to see them. Bonnie and I have owned many dogs
over the years and seen them to the Rainbow Bridge, but Bo is the first one ever I have shed tears over and lost my
cool as I stood beside him.
We fostered and later became foster failures in August
2003. Bo supposedly had a mean streak and was too old
for his original family. Our daughter, Beth, was fostering him shortly after he was neutered, and owing to a combi-
nation of her son's idiocy and the dog’s soreness after his
surgery, he bit Beth. She called us in a state of panic and
the following day we drove to Greenville and picked up
Bo to foster.
The following day, Bo and I had a discussion on who was
the Alpha. I won, without violence, and we settled in. Two
families came, in turn, to check him out for adoption. He
would not cooperate, wanted to go outside, and wanted
nothing to do with them – obviously causing bad vibes
with the prospective adoptors. It took a while, but Bonnie
and I finally figured out where he wanted to be and he re-
sided in our home for seven wonderful years.
Bo lost the power to stand on rear legs, his eyes were glaz-
ing over and at nighttime he was lost. When I took him to
the vet in Fort Jackson, we had to carry him in, as he
would fall down after three or four steps. I was there the
whole time; I could not leave him.
Maggie remains with us, her kidneys are failing and she is
on prescription dog food, but she is the same chow hound
she always has been.
FHGRR gave us the opportunity to know Bo and we were
blessed by his presence. He is and will be missed. Good-
bye, Bo, and God bless.
– Dave and Bonnie Hutchison
Memorial to Dixie
Dixie or Dixie-Anna, as the kids refer to her, has been part
of the Ide family since 2001 when FHGRR got a call from
a woman who found her wandering around her neighbor-
hood. Dixie kept jumping their fence, and the woman was
afraid the dog would get hit by a car.
She was more lab than golden, but FHGRR was brand new
at this time, so they took her in. My intent was to foster
her, but she quickly fit into our family, so we adopted her. She has been a fence-jumper her entire life, but she
always came home – usually after finding a stinky creek to
play in! She always was a very good judge of character
and has only befriended males who were dog lovers. She
Page 9 Fall 2010
The Rainbow Bridge continued
was Maxwell’s playmate and my bedmate when my hus-
band was away.
Dixie was truly loved by our entire family, but especially
by our kids. There will be an empty place in our hearts and
our home with her gone. We know she will be free from
any suffering at the Rainbow Bridge.
– Lori Wilson-Ide
Memorial to Carly
Carly Prevatte crossed on January l2, 2010. She had been
waiting at the Bridge patiently during her 1-1/2-year strug-gle with cancer. She remained very strong, yet at times she
was extremely sick. She took her last ride to the vet, where-
upon she decided she wanted instead to come back home
with me.
Later that evening, I spread her blanket in the kitchen. I
told her she was a beautiful lady and a good girl and that
mommy loved her very much, but it was okay with me if
she needed to go. I looked at her and she looked backed at me, as if to say, ―Oh! Thank you mommy.‖ We both knew
it was time.
She waited until I went to sleep and didn't make a sound;
she crossed in the stillest part of the night. I awoke at 5a.m.
and discovered her peacefully laid out as if she was sleep-
ing. How graceful and beautiful she was! She was deter-
mined to be in her environment and cross in her own time.
If there is any good in this, then her peaceful passing was
indeed a blessing. Sad, but yet wonderful and pain-free – and of her own choosing. I continue to be amazed at these
wonderful Golden creatures. Carly, mommy loves you.
– Barbara Prevatte
Beau’s Woes
Meet Beau. This poor, sweet, senior gentleman came
into rescue from the Anderson shelter. He is estimated to be about 8 years old and came in severely under-
weight with heartworms, sarcoptic mange and intesti-
nal worms. The vet will need to get Beau’s weight up
and his skin healed before he can be neutered and be-
gin his heartworm treatment.
We believe Beau is another casualty of this poor econ-
omy. His care and attention was probably one of the
first things his family had to sacrifice in order to make
ends meet. It's obvious that his condition was left un-
attended for a considerable time.
Restoring Beau's health won't be a quick fix by any
means, but just knowing he is finally getting help
makes us all feel a little better. We will be looking for
a foster home that understands his recovery won't hap-
pen overnight. Most of all, we want Beau to know he
is loved.
Unfortunately, Beau’s story is just one of many that
FHGRR is seeing these days. If you can make a dona-
tion, it will help to offset the many expenses we are
seeing with yet another senior Golden in need.

How Smart Is Your Dog?
If you think dogs can’t count, try putting three
dog biscuits in your pocket and then give him
only two of them.

HELPFUL TIPS AND NEW PRODUCTS By Barb Watkins
For a happy dog and a clean home, try these tips:
To neutralize the odor from full poop bags in the
trash bin, throw in a few handfuls of cat litter.
Wear rubber gloves while cleaning the couch – dog
fur sticks to them.
Silicone pastry brushes are a great tool to clean dog
hair from the computer keyboard.
A spice-tea bag in the vacuum cleaner bag gives a
nice scent to a room.
To keep your dog away from cat food and litter
boxes, install a pressure-mounted baby gate in the
doorway, a few inches above the floor. Cats can
scoot underneath but Goldens cannot.
Dilute dog shampoo with some water and put it in a
squeeze bottle. It lasts longer and goes through the
coat easier that way.
To remove a burr from your dog’s undercoat, use a
sewing seam ripper to pick at the hairs around the
burr until it can be pulled off.
Clean the dog’s feeding area with a mixture of ½ cup
of white vinegar, ¼ cup of rubbing alcohol and wa-
ter. Put the mixture into a bottle, spray, and wipe off.
Sprinkle baking soda on your dog’s bed, wait 15
minutes, and vacuum.
Clean dog brushes in a mixture of warm water, 1
tablespoon of dish soap and ¼ cup of Borax.
Put a bottle of tea tree oil in your dog’s First Aid Kit.
It’s great for small skin abrasions.
When out for a long walk, carry a plastic shower cap
in your pocket. It can be filled at any water source
and used as a doggie drinking bowl.
And here are a few new products to check out:
Does your dog have a closet full of collars? You may not
use them because moving the tags from one to another
can be so difficult. If so, try the new carabineer-style
collar clip at www.rubitclip.com. It allows tags to be
moved easily from one collar to another.
If the jangling of dog tags annoys you, check out Out-
ward Hound’s Pet Collar ID Bag.
And Chuckit! has come out with a new football toy that’s
lots of fun.
