a dogs Purpose
Golden Girl was inspired by my Golden Retriever Girlie, she’s calm, kind and loyal .
Her little brother Sunny, our Golden Boy brought the energy back, he's "Filled With Love.”
Together, they gave this place its name, it's feel, and its flavour.
We named our food after Girlie and Sunny as they represent everything we believe in.
Second Chance Story
Golden Girl wasn’t born in a boardroom.
​
It started after life knocked me down and I had one more chance to build something again.
​
Girlie kept me grounded.
Sunny kept me laughing.
Golden Girl became a way to start fresh — and to build something simple, honest, and real.
