Golden Bone Rescue

Specialties

Golden Bone Rescue is a no kill non profit 501 © 3 dog rescue, dedicated to rehabilitating and rehoming abandoned and homeless dogs. Many have come to us from the shelter system or have been found roaming the streets terribly frightened. We operate currently through foster volunteers only and are working diligently towards building a facility which will not only temporarily house these broken spirits but through behavioral work, patience and love, help these dogs realize their true potential — to be trusting, happy and loving dogs in forever homes.

History

Established in 2002.

In 2002 co-​founders Angela Windolph and Nadia Caillou came together to form Golden Bone Rescue & Rehab in an effort to relieve the suffering of as many animals as possible. Nadia had this notion that she wanted to save a million dogs in her lifetime and so the seed has been planted! WE started with the most difficult cases, with the Baldwin Park Chihuahua case in California (over 270 chis found in deplorable conditions) A group of these Chihuahuas came to us as feral with severe physical and mental conditions. Left to fend for themselves, they resorted to cannibalism. This case opened our eyes. Clearly the need for rehabilitation became as important as finding safe homes for traumatized animals. In fact, we realized none of these animals could be placed in permanent homes until they received the rehabilitation they needed.
