My story

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

ADOPTED! 1/09/2016

Meet Maggie, a pretty redhead Golden Retriever. The victim of a divorce, sweet Maggie is suddenly looking for a home for her retirement years at the age of 10. Dogs suffer as much as the humans affected by a split in a family, and Maggie is sad and confused to be without them. Her Mom is equally upset to have to give up her beloved Maggie, who was rescued from a bad situation about 5 years ago. Maggie spent the first few years of her life as a breeder dog, kept in a crate 24/7. Then she put that horrid life behind and became a much-loved family pet.

Maggie lived with a Min Pin dog and cats and got along great with them. She also loved the family children with whom she grew up. Maggie is a friendly and loving, typical Golden girl. One of her favorite things is car rides, being included and going along with her humans. Maggie looks and acts much younger than her 10 years, with very little gray. She currently weighs 100 lbs and her vet feels she would be at her optimum weight at about 85 lbs. Maggie has a nice moderate energy level and would love to spend time playing in the yard with doggie friends or going for walks with her humans. Maggie's foster mom tells us, "Maggie does not counter surf, does not try to jump my fence or dig out of the yard. She is ok in the car, can be a bit strong on a leash when she does not want to go the way you want to go. She does fine with the five steps I have off my deck, both up and down. Maggie has good house manners and has had no accidents in the house. She likes to get comfy on the couch to snuggle!"

Maggie is up to date on all her shots, is heartworm negative, and spayed. If you would like to bring a smile to this pretty lady’s face by giving her a forever loving home, please ask about Maggie.

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.
