My story

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

I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other great dogs! Thank you!

Update 1/24/2015: Despite the snowstorm that blanketed much of the northeast, Scout arrived safely to his foster home in NJ. Check out his video and see how he got to experience snow for the first time! His foster mom tells us: "My Rigby loves having a playmate. Grumpy Milo setting the ground rules for where Scout can go. Scout is very even tempered, so far taking it all in good natured stride. He has found the front door and figured out I will take him out to pee if he stares at the door. His paws are enormous and his teeth are sparkling white. I suspect he hasn't fully grown into his paws yet!"

Scout's story: Adorable Scout was found by a kind woman in AL. While she searched for his owners she took very good care of this boy and got him vaccinated, gave him a bath, and gave him tons of TLC. She thought of keeping him but her husband is severely allergic to dogs so she reached out to our rescue for help. We believe Scout is a Golden Doodle because he was found in the area of a known Doodle puppy mill. Thankfully, the “breeder” did not reclaim this boy and he is on his way to a new life as a cherished companion.

Scout is good with kids and dogs. His caretaker in AL had 3 cats and he was respectful of their space. He is a good-natured boy who loves toys and fetching balls. He keeps his kennel clean at the vet’s office and does not chew on the blankets or bedding in his kennel. He takes his activity level cues from his humans. When it is time to play, Scout will romp and frolic and chase a ball. But when he is told to lay down, he is pretty good at complying. He rode nicely in the car and is just happy to be doing whatever his human is doing. Scout is an all-round nice dog who loves to be loved and given affection.

Scout is neutered, heartworm negative, micro-chipped, and is up to date on his vaccinations. He weighs 63 pounds and is estimated to be 12-18 months old. Scout will be headed to a loving foster home in North Jersey in mid-to-late January where we will learn more about this lovey-dovey boy.

Please Note: Scout is a rescued dog with no known history. His breed identification is our best guess, but not a guarantee of his DNA. If you require a dog who is hypo-allergenic or does not shed, we would not be able to consider your application.

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.



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.



SGRR Adoption Fees (subject to change)**
Puppies under 6 months $650
Young dogs 6 months - 6 years $550
Young dogs - Special Needs $450
Senior dogs 7 - 9 years $450
Seniors dogs 10 years and older $350
Senior dogs - Special Needs $300
Young Bonded Pairs $850
Senior Bonded Pairs $750

**Please note: The fees listed represent a slight increase and are effective for applications received after June 1 2014. We regret the need to increase the fees for our dogs, but found it necessary due to the increased costs we are faced with for each dog's care and placement.



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.



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.


Please be a ray of light for this Sunshine dog and make a tax deductible donation toward medical and other expenses. Every cent of your generosity goes directly toward the care of a Sunshine dog.
