Announcing the Heidi Kauffmann Reward Fund

Yesterday, fellow GH member Lynette Kauffmann found her 7 month old puppy Heidi shot to death not 300 yards from her home.  This is the story that was posted on wbaltv.com today.  We are setting up a reward fund (info below) to help find and punish the culprit of this outrageous crime.  Donation information is posted below.  Also, please feel free to contact any news agency or anyone else that you see fit to help us get the word out there.  Animal cruelty such as this will not be tolerated on our beloved goldens or any other animal.

HeidiMIDDLETOWN, Md. -- Frederick County authorities are looking for the person who fatally shot a golden retriever puppy near Middletown.  Animal Control Director Harold Domer told The Frederick News-Post that the owners found the 7-month-old dog, named Heidi, dead on their property on Station Road on Wednesday afternoon.  Domer said three other golden retrievers were found on the property unharmed. He said the shooting occurred sometime between 9:30 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Domer said the shooter could face animal cruelty charges when caught.  Anyone with information should call Frederick County Animal Control officials at 301-600-1544.  An 11 News viewer said the owner of the puppy is a member of the GoldHeart Golden Retriever Rescue, which is setting up a fund to offer a reward to catch the culprit.

Anyone interested in donating can send a check to us at P.O. Box 522, Owings Mills, Md. 21117. Make sure Heidi is written in the subject line.

GoldHeart Goldens need YOUR help!
Goldens need GoldHeart's benevolent assistance in ever increasing numbers. Families are falling on hard times or develop medical issues, which demand the heartwrenching decision to surrender their beloved Golden family members. Rehoming these displaced Goldens is what GoldHeart is here for! But, we can't help as many as we would like to without YOUR help. These suddenly family-less Goldens need a safe place to call their temporary home, where they're loved and cared for - until they are united with their new forever family.

Foster Families Needed

Commercial boarding facilities are a true blessing when available. They help out by providing shelter, safe haven, kindness and much devoted love. The kind folks working there are doing their level best showering GoldHeart Goldens with as much gentle kindness as they can, often laying wonderful obedience training foundations. Their task is manifold, attention has to be shared with many fuzzy kids who spend their vacations there. Sadly, we cannot afford to keep our furkids there for very long as we have to prioritize funds to cover the consistently rising veterinary expenses.

Won't you please consider becoming a Foster Home for GoldHeart's Goldens to help these sad faces smile again? Golden Retrievers are one of the most rewarding breeds to rescue. The Golden has the admirable ability to embrace life at face value, which makes fostering a truly warm and fuzzy, rewarding labor of love.

We are often asked, "How do you give them up once they've been a part of your family?" Placing a dog in a wonderful home is more rewarding that you can imagine and as a foster home you can save many more than you could ever adopt. MORE...
