Three Golden Retriever Rescue organizations in the tri-state area teamed up over the last few months in a sleepless effort to rescue 18 Golden Retrievers from the streets of Istanbul.

They were transported from the plane to a cargo hold area where they were allowed out of their crates for about an hour to relieve themselves and get some much needed love and attention after being in crates for the 10+ hour journey they endured to get here.
