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!

Rose is an adorable Golden Retriever mix who is thought to be about 3 years old. When the southern shelter initially contacted our rescue to take Rose, they described her as “the best dog ever!” Now that she is in our care, we could not agree more! Rose looks very much like a purebred Golden Retriever in so many ways with her beautiful golden coat and fluffy tail. Yet her adorable face has a distinctive look, as though it was designed by Dr. Seuss himself! Just as cute as can be!

Rose is good with other dogs and would love some kids to romp around with. She likes to play and go for walks, but she is also happy to come inside and hang out – just as long as her people are nearby. She is a real Velcro dog and wants to be with you all the time. She does not soil in her kennel so she should take to house training very readily.

Rose weighs about 47 pounds; not too big, not too small. She is micro-chipped, up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and was spayed when she was picked up as a stray. We know that she was someone’s dog and find it baffling that no one claimed a dog as wonderful as Rose. She longs to be a beloved companion and to hear the words, “I love you!” once again. Rose will be ready to go to her forever home on 8/15/15.

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.
