POEM OF THE WEEK

the old ones

One by one they pass my cage,
Too old, too worn, too broken, no way.
Way past his prime he can't run and play,
Then they shake their heads slowly and go on their way. read more

GOLDENS' CORNER

The story of Freckles has had many new chapters since the day at the shelter when he weakly lifted a paw to greet an AZGRC volunteer, his last hope on earth. The opening chapter is “Hope,” the middle one is “Courage,” then “Happiness.” His first battle was against a rare skin disease. What a sight he was, with his raw, bloody skin. AZGRC volunteers saw beyond that, to the Golden that Freckles yearned to be. Treatment and a new family, including a special buddy, a 9-year-old named Ryan, have transformed Freckles. Donors like you made this possible. But remember that chapter titled “Courage”? Freckles was diagnosed with cancer. Ryan stayed by Freckles’ side, sleeping with him on the floor. After many trips and weeks of chemo and blood work, Freckles is doing well. His courage earned him a PAC911 Hero Award. One of his favorite activities now is selecting a toy out of his special bin and tossing it in the air. He’s a Golden.
