My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello, my name is Max. I am a 9 year old Black Lab mix in need of a new home. My mom is very ill and can no longer care for me. I am a sweet, friendly boy who is up-to-date on my shots. I am neutered, housebroken, and know basic commands. I also have an 11 year old Sheltie sister. It would be so nice if she could come with me. She is very shy but so sweet and has all her shots too.

Max and his sister are Courtesy Postings and not SGRR dogs.

If you would like to learn more about potentially adopting Max and maybe even his sister, please contact Karen at 516-483-1381. Max is located in Nassau County, Long Island, NY Thank you!

Did you Know . . .
Since the early 2000’s, animal rescue workers have noticed an increasing phenomena called “Black Dog Syndrome,” which is that black dogs tend to be adopted slower than dogs of other coloring. As a result, there are more black dogs in shelters, and black dogs have a higher euthanization rate – purely because of the color of their coat! In a recent survey done by the adoption website “Petfinder,” Petfinder member shelters and rescue groups reported that most pets are listed for 12.5 weeks on Petfinder, whereas, less-adoptable pets (such as black, senior, and special needs pets) spend almost four times as long on Petfinder.

Like all dogs, these pups are just looking for a family to look past their coloring and see their true “golden heartedness,” to love them and make them their own! You’ll be glad that you did!
