For nearly three decades, Goldspirit Farm has been a sanctuary for canine companions, a place where dogs find love, safety, and a sense of belonging. Since 1999, a unique tradition has woven through the farm’s history: every dog adopted into the Goldspirit family was given a name beginning with the letter “C.” This heartwarming practice has resulted in an expansive and delightful list of canine alumni, each with their own story and contribution to the farm’s vibrant tapestry.
The tradition began with Susan, who, upon closing escrow at Goldspirit Farm, adopted her first dog and named her Cody. This set the precedent for a wave of “C” named dogs, each rescue or adoption adding another layer to the farm’s evolving narrative. Chrissy was saved from a life tethered to a chain, while Cujo, a formidable 145-pound German Shepherd, was found blocking a nearby farm’s driveway. Cali joined the pack after a client suggested she would be a perfect fit due to her “C” name, harmonizing with the established group. Even two abandoned puppies, discovered in a box outside the gate, were integrated into this naming convention, with one, named Oscar, tragically disappearing after only two weeks. The other puppy, thankfully, lived a long life of fifteen years. This commitment to the “C” name underscores a deep sense of order and community amongst the dogs at Goldspirit Farm.
