No one knows where Goldie came from, or how he found himself in a rural town in Texas. But when a group of dogs found him, they let him know he wasnโt welcome.
Animal control officers arrived, but Goldie was so terrified that they had to drag him out from under the home. Then they took him to Corsicana Animal Shelter in Texas.
โHe had wounds and gashes on every part of his body,โ Silverstein said. โHe was in shock.โ
Local volunteers from Rescue Dogs Rock NYC pulled Goldie out of the shelter and whisked him off to an emergency vet, who saved Goldieโs life with high doses of antibiotics and dozens of stitches.
But Goldie recovered, and he blossomed into different dog. His stitches healed up beautifully, and his fur grew back thick and shiny.
โI remember thinking, โWhat is going on? How does this dog not have a forever home?โโ Silverstein said. โBut after a Facebook post, we got a gazillion applications for him. And that was it.โ
My girlfriend put in an adoption application and went to meet him in the vetโs office in Huntington, New York,โ a volunteer with Rescue Dogs Rock NYC wrote on Facebook. โShe said she knew it was meant to be because their last golden [retriever] also came out of a vetโs office in Huntington. They took him home that night.โ
Goldie also has a new name โ his new mom is a big Dallas Cowboy fan, so she renamed him Dakota (โDakโ for short) after the quarterback, Dak Prescott.
