Beka is a stunning Golden mix who was picked up as a stray in wooded area in rural Mississippi. In that environment, a dog running loose is fair game for the animal control officer. When she went unclaimed and did not get immediately adopted, the overcrowded shelter was going to euthanize Beka. Thankfully, a small local rescue group stepped in to save beautiful Beka and then contacted SGRR for assistance.
One year old Beka is now in a foster home in NH. Her foster mom shared, "Beka arrived Saturday and it is hard to limit my praise to just a few words. She really is stunning, and petite, weighing only 32 lbs. She loves to play and gets on well with the five resident dogs. She is respectful when told to stop by the 11 year old resident golden. She is fine with cats, at least with ones who don't run, and has never met a stranger. And smart.....this little girl picks up commands like a genius! She is doing exceptionally well on potty training. She is still in the chewing stage but redirects well to appropriate toys. She has a great appetite, loves to snuggle but most of all she likes to run like the wind in giant figure eights all around the fenced back yard. Some family is going to be very lucky. I have not tested her with small children, but would be very shocked if she didn't throw herself at their feet for love!"
A young dog such as Beka will require adequate exercise from anyone who adopters her. This baby doll will blossom in the care of a loving adopter who will take time and teach her all she needs to know about becoming a wonderful companion.
Beka is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, and heartworm negative. If you have already been approved for adoption through SGRR, please contact

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.
