Miss Becky
(???? – 2008)

The lovely Princess Becky came into GSGRR in late February through a shelter in the New Orleans area from a sketchy background like many of our rescued Goldens. She graced our presence with her elegance and charm despite her physical ailments. Through the photos, her unwavering love and trust for the world as she saw it, shows brilliantly. She was fostered for a month in a home with 6 other family dogs during which a special family came to visit her and asked to be her forever home. When their new home was completed, Becky went to live with them. She was cherished and loved by the children and adults. In a very short time, her physical ailments worsened and she bravely held on with the grace she always had. Despite efforts of the veterinarians and loving care from her family, she became too weak to go on. With selfless compassion for Princess Becky, the family reluctantly and tearfully decided to let her go. As daughter Bonnie says, “Becky is in Doggy Heaven, feeling no pain and she's chasing after a bouncing ball”. Jen said, “It was like we had a member of our family, whom we had known for a long time, leave us. I couldn't believe how attached we were after just a few weeks. We miss her very much”.

This special family proved to Becky that there is a place in the world for all dogs even if it takes a lifetime of patient waiting. On behalf of GSGRR, we thank you for caring for, and loving The Princess Becky.

Becky went to her forever home on March 26, 2008 and will be living in LA. She jumped right in the car and sat on the new blanket and took her old tennis ball with her. She is one lucky girl.

Anyone who has known a dignified senior Golden will understand Miss Becky. She is a Grand Dame despite her evident hard life. The look of elegance and grace emanates from her whether she is asleep or awake. When she sees you, her tail wags with joy fully expecting the love she deserves. She returns it unconditionally. Her foster home consists of six dogs including the Catahoula Princess, Stormee, who rules the pack with a sharp look or curl of the lip. Stormee recognizes and respects Miss Becky which is the biggest complement of all.

Miss Becky is only for the special person or family who can appreciate her graceful presence. She is content to be near you without being pushy. Because of her age, she does not require a lot of exercise. She looks like she had a litter of puppies recently but there is no information about them. She had lost some weight and is being treated for an ear infection. If you would like to share your home with her, please fill out an application.
