Our Mission
The Golden Bark Foundation is dedicated to rescuing and advocating for at-risk senior dogs, fulfilling their immediate needs and sending them off to a love-filled retirement home.
We focus on rescuing senior dogs because they are often forgotten and cast aside at the point in their lives when they need the most care. When they end up in shelters, people prefer to adopt younger dogs that require less care and maintenance with fuller lives ahead. We plan to rescue and find homes for these senior dogs. They deserve to know love in the latter portions of their lives.
Every dog Deserves a loving home to live out their golden years, no matter how many days, months or years they have left
HOW WE OPERATE:
We are a foster-based rescue in Utah with a foster network from Weber County to Toole County. Our fosters provide dogs loving homes until their retirement homes are found. All of the dogs needs are covered by the foundation during their stay in our rescue program.
Once a dog is in our care, its medical needs are immediately assessed and taken care of. A complete senior workup is done for each dog soon after they enter GBF. Some dogs will be deemed hospice after their medical diagnostics. Those dogs will live under our care for the remainder of their life.
Once a dog's medical needs are met, they are made available for adoption and ready for their loving retirement home.
We are animals' voices. We will provide compassion, love, and patience to each dog that comes through our rescue, whether the dog has months, days or years. Every dog deserves a loving home to live out their golden years.
