MEET THE TEAM Golden Retriever Rescue Ireland was founded in 1994 by Sandie Bissett, and was run and funded single handedly by her for almost 10 years. The very nature of Golden Retrievers and their reputation as the perfect family dog has meant that they have become victims of their own popularity courtesy of gross over breeding. Couple over breeding with the seduction of that beautiful ball of fluff that is a Golden Retriever pup and here we are...with the number of rescue Goldens in Ireland reaching almost epidemic proportions. In January 2005, as she brought her 10th rescue since Christmas to its forever home in the UK, it became clear to Sandie that in order to continue to secure the futures of these dogs, she needed help and this rescue group was born.... Irish Retriever Rescue-UK.

The Starfish Story
One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he walked faster to catch up. As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at all. The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean He came closer still and called out Good morning May I ask what it is that you are doing?
