This small business idea came straight from my heart, inspired by my incredible mother, Nadezhda, whose name means "hope." When she was diagnosed with cancer, life took a difficult turn. In her search for companionship during those tough times, she decided to bring a golden retriever named Palma into her life. As a service dog, From that moment on, Palma wasn’t just a service dog or pet—she became my mother’s best friend, a source of joy and comfort, and a reminder that love can light up even the darkest days.

​

I’ll never forget how my mother’s face would light up whenever Palma entered the room. In her laughter and the way she shared stories about their adventures, I could see the healing power of that bond. My mother often spoke of her dream to share the joy Palma brought her with other families who were going through their own struggles. She believed that every heart deserves a little happiness, especially in hard times.

After my mother passed away, I felt an overwhelming need to carry on her legacy. That’s how "Goldens of Hope" was born. This isn’t just a business to me; it’s a way to honor my mother’s spirit and her love for animals.

 

Each golden retriever we connect with families will not only offer companionship but also a piece of my mother’s heart, spreading joy and hope to those who need it most.

Through "Goldens of Hope," I hope to create a community where love and support flourish, reminding us all that we’re never truly alone. Together, we can embrace the healing power of a wagging tail and a warm heart, keeping my mother’s dream alive in the best way possible.
