Goldens Without Borders, Inc.

Goldens Without Borders is aiming to play a key role in ending the dog meat trade. By making international contacts and building relationships with fellow animal rescues, we can support the volunteers on the frontline in many ways. With our many followers on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and our website, we are true advocates in educating followers around the world that will ultimately end this inhumane practice. By holding local events, we reach within our own community for support that is through volunteering, fundraising, fostering and adopting. By working with rescues overseas, we save one dogs life at a time but it inspires and motivates those overseas volunteers on the frontline to continue to lead the cause. They know their efforts have a place for those dogs they are able to save, and have them live out the remainder of their lives in a safe and loving home.

We have established multiple social media accounts and will continue to be very active and deliberate in our outreach. Social media is a key strategy for us and we will continue to explore additional ways to leverage its full capabilities to educate, advocate and support the movement to shut down slaughterhouses and end the dog meat trade altogether. Fundraising through virtual means will be a large focus for us. We will also apply for grants and donations that will allow us to assist those in the countries where, unfortunately, these practices still exist as viable means, in transporting Goldens to the U.S.

We have a wide network of interested families and individuals that will serve as foster and adoptive families, volunteers, donators and all around supporter for the cause. Our founders have over 20 years of personal experience each in non-profit management as well a strong business savvy to run a charity organization successfully.

Strengthening international relationships will take time as we are working with cultures that require time and actionable results need to occur before we get to the point of implicit trust. Fundraising is a challenge as the task at hand with our largest expense, airfare from Asian countries, is expensive. There is no shortage of dogs needing to be rescued from these kill shelters and slaughterhouses, but our funding dictates how many we can save.
