I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other great dogs. Thank you!
Hi! I’m Bentley! I am a Fox Red Lab mix of about 3 years of age. Red Labs are a variation of the yellow lab and we are quite handsome, if I do say so myself. After our coloring being almost bred out of the breed in favor of lighter yellow coloring, we are becoming popular again. I am a mid-sized boy, weighing about 40 pounds, with a perpetual puppy look about me. I’m pretty darn cute, aren’t I?!? I LOVE people of all ages and all sizes. In fact, I love my people so much, I would like a home where someone is home most of the time. I would also love a fenced yard where I can run and maybe play with a doggie brother or sister. At the vet’s office I met this thing called a “cat.” It made some funny sounds, like air leaking out of a tire and curled up its back. It made me a little scared but I do believe I could learn to adapt if you have a “cat” in your home. I am such an amicable fellow! I am pretty good on a leash and I even ride nicely in a car. If you have the time to work with me and you can give me exercise and love, I could become your perfect companion!
When our photographer and her son were taking pictures of Bentley, their hearts were captured. Angie told us, "Bentley was all puppy; running, jumping and chasing the rope toy that was left in the yard. And look at those beautiful big brown eyes! Such a sweetie. When I finished shooting his photos and it was time to go back in, he ran back to grab the rope and carried it with him back to his pen. I bet he would love to have a basket of toys at his new home! "
Bentley is up-to-date on vaccinations, neutered, and micro-chipped. He is under treatment for heartworm and will be ready to go to his forever family in late July. So don’t wait to inquire – this cutie-pie will be snatched up quickly!

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.

**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.
