It’s been a long journey for me, from eating rocks and garbage as a stray in Puerto Rico, to living in Chicago with a wonderful foster family. They have been calling me Rico in honor of my heritage. I wasn’t housebroken and was skin and bones and heartworm positive when I arrived.
After my treatment and lots of love, look at me now! I am a handsome 8 year old boy who now knows how to walk nicely on a leash, greet the neighbors with a happy bark, and as you can see, I have a big smile since I have hit the jackpot at a chance at a new life.
I am a typical golden who loves to be by my people and follow them everywhere. I get along with my foster sibling just fine. We don’t really roughhouse, because I’m not even sure what that’s about.
I love when people come over to visit, and I don’t get too exuberant (I think that means crazy!). Why don’t you come and meet me and I will show you what a prize I am?

Wine & Candle Photo Contest - Ends Soon
We have over a hundred photo submissions this year. But who will be our TOP TWELVE? That is for you to determine. Voting ends on July 28th, so solicit friends, family, neighbors and co-workers to vote for your dog. Even if you don’t have a dog in the contest, please check out our lineup of goldens. All the dogs are worthy contestants, but only twelve can make celebrity status. The winners will go on to appear on a wine or candle label.
Each vote requires a $2 tax deductible donation with all funds going to support rescued goldens. This contest is a great way to support our efforts to help rescue and rehome more dogs.

Our new vendor is Aspen Lane Wine Company in Aurora. This company was started by a man who had a disabled child and wanted to help non-profit groups raise money for their cause. His son is now deceased, but he continues his efforts and we are honored to be a part of this program that distributes all profits to their participating partners.
The wine and candles will make unique gifts for the holidays. There will be a selection of wines in three bottle sizes, and the candles are 100% soy wax which makes them eco-friendly. The winery will ship or orders can be picked up at the winery.
Only TWELVE can be our TOP DOGS so vote for your favorite and support our rescue efforts.
Thank you to everyone that submitted photos! Your dogs are all winners!!
