ADOPTED 12-30-13!!!
This adorable senior is Peanut. After living with one family his whole life, his Mom had to move to no-dogs housing about 8 months ago. He went to live with a family friend, who also needs to move now. Thus, Peanut is suddenly without a home at a time when he should be peacefully enjoying his "golden" years.
Peanut is a Golden Retriever mix who weighs about 60 lbs. Other than an allergy to beef and chicken, he is in good health, neutered, updated on his vaccinations, and ready for a home. Peanut knows quite a few basic commands, and is good with other dogs, having lived with a Bulldog for quite a while. He is also good with cats, has met children over 8 years old, rides nicely in a car, is good on a leash, and does not need a crate. Peanut is being fostered in NH and his foster mom told us, "Peanut is a little angel and is a very young 12 year old. He handles 3 to 5 mile hikes like he has always been part of the pack. At home he loves to just relax at your feet, paying no attention to the cat as it brushes by him. His indoor manners are great, no jumping or accidents in the house. Outside he is learning very quickly to walk quietly on the leash. He is very attached to his Foster Dad, who takes him along to the gym. When Foster Dad leaves home without him, Peanut puts his head against the door and just stands there! This boy will give his new family lots of love and loyalty. Don’t let his age fool you. He is a healthy, athletic boy with lots to offer!"
This is a gentle, easy boy looking for a warm bed, some good dog food, and a person to love and keep him company. If you have room to bring this sweet little guy into your home for his retirement years, please apply!

About Our Rescue
Before being approved to adopt, all potential adopters need to complete our online application and participate in our pre-adoption review process. The process includes the completion of an online application, a reference from the applicants' vet, a phone interview, and a visit to the applicants' home. The application process helps us determine what type of Golden would be best suited for the applicants' life style. In some cases, the specific dog you are interested in may have found a home before this process is complete or further assessment may find that this dog is not the right match for your family. We are regularly getting new Goldens in need of a home, so we encourage you to apply and get approved so that when the right dog comes along you will be ready.
A contract is signed the day of adoption. Under the terms of the contract, all adopters are required to bring the rescue to a vet within 7 business days. The dogs receive basic veterinary care prior to adoption. If your vet identifies an illness that an adopter is not willing to treat, then the dog is returned and a full refund is provided.
The information provided on each dog is based on observations of our vets, volunteers, fosters and when available, trainers. While we do our best to report any and all issues, SGRR does not make any guarantees as to the health or temperament of any dog. Dogs evolve differently in different environments and we cannot predict with any certainty how the dog you adopt will act in your home.
Many of our dogs are fostered in private homes and we do not have a facility to visit. We are committed to our dogs before, during, and after adoption! The rescue retains title to the dog and can never be released or sold. Should the adopters no longer be able to keep the dog, SGRR must be notified so that we can take the dog back into rescue and place it into another home. We reserve the right to remove a dog at any time should we find the adopter is no longer caring for their Golden in a way we see fit. Adopters then have to agree to follow up visits as needed.
