Maya is all smiles with her new adopter at Riverview! The third home is the charm for this ten-year-old Golden girl. Maya lived with her original owner for seven years and was given up because she no longer had time for her. Maya's second owner loved her very much but had to move due to a divorce and could no longer keep her. She called YGRR and asked for help.

Maya was brought to the YGRR veterinarian and given a complete geriatric workup. She had a number of masses removed and, fortunately, all proved to be benign. Maya was started on supplements for arthritis and brought to Riverview. Repeat adopters were called who were waiting for a senior girl and, as this photograph shows, the appointment was a complete success! Maya now lives by the ocean and takes daily walks on the beach. She spends very little time alone and has quickly settled into her new home. It's hard to tell who's happier--Maya or her adopters!

George came to YGRR in 2006 at the age of 10. He stayed at Riverview while his owner was prosecuted by law enforcment for cruelty. Ultimately, George was taken away from his owner and signed over to YGRR for adoption. Over the past few years, living in a new home with wonderful adopters has changed George's life!

George invited everyone to YGRR's Benefit Auction on June 14th to help other Goldens just like him. George, of course, was given his very own special paddle--which he had already started to chew!
