Luna’s Legacy Golden Retriever Rescue

💙 Sometimes the kindest thing you can do is let go. 💙

One of the hardest conversations we have in rescue is with owners who feel they are letting their dog down by surrendering them. We always try to reassure them that this is often far from the truth.

These two photos are of the same dog, taken just a couple of months apart.

In the first image, you see a dog who was very much loved. His owner cared deeply for him, but despite their best efforts, the environment wasn’t meeting his needs. He was becoming increasingly stressed and his behaviour was deteriorating. In the second image, just a few months later, he is relaxed, content, and finally able to be the dog he was always meant to be.

This isn’t because he is loved more now. He was loved then too. But the things that caused him stress have melted away … and we often see it in their faces before anywhere else ♥️

Sometimes it’s simply about finding the right environment for that particular dog. Nobody is to blame, and it doesn’t mean anyone has failed. Some dogs just need something different from what their family can provide.

Making the heartbreaking decision to let a dog go when you know they may be happier elsewhere is not giving up on them. Sometimes it’s one of the greatest acts of love you can show. ❤️

FIDGET - FOR ADOPTION

Meet Fidget – Professional Cuddler, Amateur Birdwatcher, Full-Time Golden Retriever ♥️

Are you looking for a loyal best friend who believes personal space is overrated and that every bed should really be a shared bed?

Then let us introduce Fidget, a beautiful 3-year-old Golden Retriever with a heart of gold, a love of swimming, and a very strong opinion that humans are for cuddling.

Fidget is the kind of dog who greets you like you’ve returned from a three-year expedition to Antarctica, even if you’ve only been out to put the bins out. She adores her people, follows them everywhere, and considers herself an expert lap dog despite being completely unaware of her size.

Her hobbies include:
🐦 Bird and wildlife spotting
🏊 Swimming in lakes and ponds (absolutely not swimming pools – she’s convinced they’re suspicious)
🧦 Retrieving socks and other household treasures
🛏️ Sleeping on the bed as if she pays the mortgage
❤️ Handing out affection to anyone lucky enough to earn her trust

Fidget is housetrained, crate trained, travels well in the car, enjoys being groomed, has excellent recall off lead, and knows her basic commands. She is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and in good health.

Like many sensitive souls, Fidget has a few quirks. She can be anxious around certain noises (bees and flies are apparently public enemy number one) and can be protective of her home’s boundaries. Most importantly, she has had ongoing issues living with *some* other female dogs in her household (she adores her Goldie sister, clashes badly with the non Goldies). Because of this, we are seeking a pet-free home where she can relax, be herself, and never have to share her humans.

Fidget has never shown aggression towards her people (although will get growly if people stick their hand over her fence uninvited) and is fine with visitors once they’re inside and she has had the chance to say hello . However, due to her history and limited experience around children, we’re looking for an adult-only home where she can enjoy a calm, predictable environment.

What Fidget needs is simple:
✨ A loving home
✨ Plenty of cuddles
✨ Nice walks and swimming adventures
✨ Humans who understand that Golden Retrievers occasionally come with emotional support requirements

In return, you’ll get unwavering loyalty, endless affection, a devoted shadow who thinks you’re the most important person in the world, and a best friend who is ready to start her next chapter.

If you’ve got room in your heart (and on your sofa), Fidget is waiting to meet you.

LOLA HAS JUST BEEN GIVEN THE ALL CLEAR ♥️♥️♥️♥️

The leg lump is a follicular cyst which will probably return and need repeat removals (before it gets so big next time 👀) and the mammary lump is a benign breast lump - but they removed the entire mammary gland as a precaution

So relieved 😮‍💨

Oh - and her foster mum isn’t sending her back after they’ve been through all that together so she’s getting a double celebration ♥️🫶🍾🎊🥳🎉

Go live your best life Lola with your lovely new family, Goldie big brother, with all your health worries now put to bed 🐕 🏖️

Lola (was Nova) Update 🐾💛

Beautiful Lola came into foster with what was believed to be a simple “wart” on her leg. However, when we had her checked by the vet, it quickly became clear that it was actually a large and rather suspicious-looking nasty lump that urgently needed further investigation.

After an aspiration, the decision was made to remove the lump and send samples away for biopsy. During Lola’s examination, the vet also discovered a lump in one of her mammary glands, which has also had to be surgically removed and investigated.

Lola underwent her first surgery this week and has been an absolute superstar throughout. She is now recovering well, and while she doesn’t know it, she has a whole army of people rooting for her.

Unfortunately, we’ve now entered the hardest part of all – the waiting. We should receive the biopsy results in around two weeks, and until then we’ll be keeping everything crossed and hoping for the very best possible outcome for our lovely girl.

We would be so grateful if everyone could send Lola their love, positive thoughts, and best wishes as we wait for news. 💕

A huge thank you also goes to her wonderful foster carer, who has been taking amazing care of her every step of the way. Lola couldn’t be in better hands right now, and she is exactly where she needs to be 🫶

Massive thanks also to Northern Golden Retriever Association (via their charitable trust), Rescue Trust of North West Golden Retriever Club (https://www.facebook.com/share/1USaXTZnCN/?mibextid=wwXIfr) and the Golden Retriever Club (national) who all have made a donation towards her surgery.

Rest up, sweet Lola – we’re all behind you. 🐶💛🐾

After an overwhelming response to the lovely Percy - our job was made so much harder as we had many many lovely applications to choose from

He had a first date on Sunday with a really lovely local family who tick all his boxes, and his current owners are very comfortable with give him exactly what he needs so pending all the legal stuff, they’ve decided to make it FB official and go exclusive 🍾🫶💍

Feedback has now gone out to all applicants but please check junk as there were so many we did feel like we were spamming inboxes 👀

Most terrifying purchase based on blind faith and optimism that we will be able to raise this money to repay me (kids will be eating baked beans for a year whilst cursing me no doubt)

Had to self fund to make sure we can get them delivered in time. Fingers crossed 🤞 that this is not the most stupid reckless decision of my life.

I need a sit down and a paper bag 🤢😵‍💫

No going back now !
