All of the puppies are Adoption Pending!!!
In mid-December, SGRR received a plea from Dothan Animal Shelter in AL about 6 pups who were found in the nearby woods. SGRR will usually defer pups to rescues who focus on the adoption of puppies, but during the holiday season, there was no room at the inn. These little babies, who had barely begun to live their lives, were in danger of being put to sleep due to overcrowded conditions at the shelter.
Iggy, Fern, Nikon and Kingsley all adopted 2/1/14!!!
Artemis and Kodiak still getting medical care.
Iggy (Adoption Pending), Nikon (Adoption Pending), Kodiak, Kingsley (Adoption Pending), Artemis, and their sister Fern (Adoption Pending) are Golden mixes. Kodiak and Artemis are the pups who resemble little brown teddy bears and we believe they are Golden/St Bernard mixes. Artemis is the bruiser of the bunch! The golden colored pups are believed to be Golden/Great Pyrenees mixes. All the pups are just over-the-top adorable and so easy to love! More details will follow on these pups over the next few weeks and they are sure to attract a lot of attention. Be sure to check out Iggy, Fern, and Nikon in their video.
Please note - Puppies require a great deal of time, attention and patience. We can only consider applications for the puppies from folks who are home most of the day.
If you have already been approved for adoption through SGRR, please contact the

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.
