The kind people at SGRR are treating me just like a prince and I feel so very special now, but my life wasn’t always so wonderful. In my former life, I was treated poorly and was given very little care. No one even cared to make sure I was in a secure yard and I escaped from my former home. Some nice people picked me up and took me to a safe shelter where I waited for my former owners to reclaim me. Thank goodness they didn't come and I did a happy prance when I was told I was being RESCUED!
I am a really nice boy and I love other dogs. My fur is a little sparse right now, but with some good food and some TLC, I will once again be as handsome as they come! I am heartworm negative and I have been “fixed.” (Hmmm, I didn’t know that I was broken!) I am ready to go HOME now and will be traveling north on 8/6 to my foster family in CT. But I hope to have a forever family soon! If you specialize in TLC and have room in your heart for a little Golden mix like me, please let the good folks at SGRR know. I promise I will love you to the moon and back!
Bobby is estimated to be about 12 months old and weighs about 42 lbs. Lisa, our volunteer in AL, picked him up this week to bring him to our vet's office to get him ready for his trip north. She shared, "He is a SUPER sweet boy and not shy at all! Bobby has a good amount of energy and would make a nice walking or jogging buddy. He needs work on his leash skills, but rode very nicely in the car. He even rested his head on my shoulder as we drove. What a nice boy!"
Bobby is up-to-date on his vaccinations, neutered, and has been micro-chipped. While Bobby enjoys playing with other dogs, his foster family feels he would do best as an adopter's one and only, so we will seek a home with no other pets for Bobby. He is a happy-go-lucky fellow who is just a pure delight! We just love the little socks on his paws, the white blaze on his chest, and the white tip on his tail! Such a cutie!
Bobby is now in a foster home in CT. 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.
