Golden Retriever Day

One of our prior adopters sent us this note for Golden Retriever Day:

" Koda wanted everyone to know how happy he is.

Since it's National Golden Retriever Day, we wanted to reach out and give you a little update on Koda!. He is loving life and we are sure loving him. It's only been a short while since we adopted this gentle giant from you in mid December, but now we can't imagine our lives without him.

Koda is simply the sweetest boy, and our entire extended family absolutely ADORES him. He is one of the best decisions we've made and we are absolutely in love!.

Thank you again for our sweet boy and for all you do for rescue animals "

Custom Birdhouses

One of our volunteers, Jolinda, makes custom birdhouses and donates the proceeds of her sales to RFSC.

She makes each birdhouse individually from recycled items. Jolinda designs each birdhouse herself. Each birdhouse is special and unique.

Jolinda attends artist fairs such as the Fallbrook Avocado Festival and has an ETSY store called BirdHousesforTheDogs. She has sent birdhouses all over the United States.

She takes special orders and can include the customers own personal treasures on the birdhouses. Her customers are delighted to know that their purchase goes to help RFSC.

Jolinda and her husband have adopted several Golden Retrievers from RFSC. They currently have Otis who is 3 years old and Grace who is 6.
