I was introduced to Golden Bone Rescue and Rehab in November of 2009. I had found the dog of my dreams at the home of a dog groomer who was fostering the dog for Golden Bone. I was very impressed with several aspects about how Golden Bone dealt with me in the process of adopting my wonderful dog. 1) The contact person (Liz) was prompt and professional in the time and manner in which she returned my phone calls. She answered all my questions clearly and thoroughly. 2) I was impressed with the fact that Golden Bone sent someone to my home to check it out for safety and appropriateness for keeping the dog. They checked to make sure that I had an enclosed back yard. They asked me questions about my life style to insure that the dog wouldn't be left alone for long periods of time. They wanted to know where the dog would sleep. I was left with the impression that they cared very much that the pooch would be in a safe and loving place. The entire process, from my first contact with the foster "mom" to welcoming the dog into my home, took a mere two days. 3) At a fund-raiser event that I attended for the organization, I saw further evidence of Golden Bone's concern and care for homeless dogs. The presenters they chose and the attention to detail in how they organized the event spoke of the organization's desire to educate the public about proper and effective training, as well as about good health for the animals. The people whom I have met from Golden Bone are among the most caring individuals I know. They sincerely care about neglected and abused dogs, and they work tirelessly on a volunteer basis to see that the dogs go to good homes. I can't say enough good things about them!

Following my annual winter trip to Bryce Canyon National Park, I stopped by the dumpsters at The Gap (a remote part of the western Navajo Nation in the middle of nowhere, Northern Arizona) on the way home. I found a fuzzy puppy and brought him home, as I refuse to leave them behind anymore (I've seen several 'throwaway' dogs up there over the years). I had been collecting blankets and towels for Golden Bone Rescue so I contacted them about the rescue. Golden Bone graciously agreed to take the pup on financially. He had a nasty wound on his neck, and when we got him to the vet the next morning, we learned he had probably been shot with a gun or an arrow. Along with his neck surgery, he was neutered and checked for worms, mites, mange, etc. He has recovered beautifully. Golden Bone behaviorists worked with the pup, introduced him to new situations, changed some negative behaviors, and helped to socialize him, taking him during the day while I fostered him at my house at night. They carefully screened interested applicants and found him an ideal forever home. Chester Good Dog is a wonderful, sweet, trusting, funny little bundle of love who charms everyone he meets. He is magic, and his magic has been allowed to shine in great part due to the efforts of Golden Bone Rescue and Rehab. read more

My wife and I have used golden bone rescue twice now over the past few years. A few years ago we adopted two sweet little lab/heeler sisters. They have been our sweet babies for a few years now. Nadia was amazing to work with back then and so when it was time to add to our family we used Golden Bone Rescue again. They needed to find a home desperately for a young Bernese Mnt. Dog. We were looking to add a big dog to our family so immediately contacted Nadia. She welcomed us into her own home just so she could make sure that we were the right fit and that a connection was made. We instantly fell in love with her and I'm happy to say that she too seems very happy to be apart of our family. We love that Nadia takes the time to make sure that we are a good fit for the dog and that the dog is a good fit for us. She has already checked in with us a few times to make sure our baby is doing ok. We love the follow up and that she cares so much about each pet. There is no doubt that when the time comes again we will look to Nadia and Golden Bone Rescue! read more

As a foster home for Golden Bone I get to see how this rescue takes in the neediest dogs, works with them until they are ready to be adopted, and finally matches them with the perfect new family. It has been a joy fostering for this group. They are very supportive of their foster homes and very careful about who they adopt to...I always know that my fosters are only going to the best matched homes which makes it so much easier to say goodbye when adoption time comes. Golden Bone also has given me our darling Peanut Butter, a little Jack Russel mix who faced euthanasia at a local shelter. After receiving an email from a caring staff member, Golden Bone stepped in and gave Peanut Butter a second chance. I am so grateful for everything they do...for rescuing Peanut Butter so she could become a member of our family, for allowing my husband and me to foster so many wonderful and special little lives, and for stepping in and giving so many AZ dogs a second chance at life. read more

Golden Bone Rescue is a wonderful organization. They care about pets that really are desperate for help. I recently adopted a chihuahua from them that had been thrown out in a garbage can. Luckily for him, he was found and fostered by a wonderful woman with the support of Golden Bone. He is a special needs dog, but appreciates the love I can now give him. He is a wonderful companion and I feel blessed to have him. Golden Bone was wonderful throughout the process of his adoption. They were very supportive, paid for his vet checkup, rabies shot and made sure I was comfortable with the entire adopotion process. I will be a long-time supporter of this organization and have offered my services to them whenever possible. It is organizations like Golden Bone that tirelessly makes sure these little critters are safe and enables them to live a long happy llfe. I give them a 5 star rating. Check them out for yourself !!!! read more

If it was not for Golden Bone Rescue & Rehab, Inc. the two little girl puppies I have adopted and are now part of my family would never have been saved from the horrible and tragic direction their lives nearly ended with. Golden Bone Rescue & Rehab no only rescued Mama Sophia and her tiny puppy (Mia) from a crate where in someone had left them to die, they rehabilitated them to health and found them a forever loving home. Golden Bone has saved the lives of so many unwanted pets and have brought joy to those lives as well so many others. Personally Golden Bone should be considered a true God send for the unfortunate pets and people longing for a lot of joy via a loving and loyal pet. My heart thanks Golden Bone each and every day when I hold, hug, kiss and play with my Sophia and Mia. read more

Golden Bone goes out of its way to help animals in need- often driving great distances to rescue dogs and finding homes for unwanted, homeless, or neglected animals. This is a completely volunteer group of saints. If you are considering a new family member, don't hesitate to check out their adoptees. We adopted our sweet Koa from them after he was found in a Flagstaff parking lot and with a foster family for 5 months. This is not an easy job and it doesn't always go smoothly, but its worth it. read more

Golden Bone Rescue is very professional to deal with, and they have the Pet and new home in mind when they adopt. People are checked out and they go out of their way to make certain you find what you are looking for, even if it is at another rescue. It was a pleasure to work with the Golden Bone Rescue women, I would recommend them highly. I admire them for what they do with kindness and caring. read more

I adopted a dog through Golden Bone in 2011 and they gave me a lot of support. They do such a great job of helping animals. I just wish there weren't so many animals without homes. read more
