On June 8th of this year, we lost our beloved Rocky to a two year battle with cancer. We were devastated, even though we knew for a long time what was in store for him and for us. Rocky was also a rescue and we had him for 5 years. Then, one day, he is gone. And it changed our lives, we thought, forever. We were overcome with grief. But Rocky's passing brought us straight to GoldHeart. I couldn't bear his absence any longer and went online in hopes of finding another Golden Retriever, not to replace Rocky, but to fill the emptiness I felt since he left us. I searched several sites, but to no avail. Then I found GoldHeart. I looked under available adoptions and just a few stories down the page, I saw him! And I don't believe that it was coincidental that his name was Rocky. I saw my Rocky in his big, beautiful face, and I cried. God had brought me here, not just for myself, but for this beautiful Golden who needed to be loved. As I read about him, I saw that he had a brother. Once again, I felt there was a purpose in all this, and so I immediately set out to adopt these two boys.
