Faith, a two-year old female golden came wandering into the Standard Poodle Rescue in Chaparral with a small poodle in tow. Coincidentally three rescued goldens were being housed there awaiting transportation to Albuquerque. Connie, the GRRNM El Paso coordinator, became aware of Faith’s plight so she was taken into golden rescue after her owner could not be located. She was adopted by Donna Lee of Las Cruces where she joined Chip, a golden/Irish setter cross and the three cats, Chewie, Stormie, and Goblin. Unfortunately not long after Faith arrived, Chip passed away from an internal cancer so Faith was longing for doggie company. Gator was turned in by his owners in Midland because he got too big for the kids. He happily joined Donna Lee’s family. Faith and Gator now enjoy walks, swimming parties, and cuddling at home. Gator when he swims lives up his name, snapping at the waves!
