I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other great dogs. Thank you!
Hold onto your heart! Beaux is a gentle, well-mannered purebred Golden who has a sad past that will make you want to show him all the love and good things he should have known his whole life. Beaux, estimated to be 8 years old, was living as a back-yard breeder dog in LA. His owner posted him on Craigslist as “free to a good home” and we rushed to save him from an unknown fate. We were told he had lived there about three years and “he’s costing me money to feed him and he’s no good, he ain’t producin’ no babies.” Previously he had been living with a woman who kept him on a chain, and that woman took him off someone’s porch who moved and abandoned him. Thankfully, Beaux’s life has turned around and he is not looking back!
He is staying in a foster home during his treatment and his Foster Mama tells us, "We are so enjoying having him in our home! He is so easy to fall in love with. You can see in his eyes that he is so grateful to be in a home. He has hooked everyone who has met him so far. I think he would be great as an only dog or in a home with other laid back dogs.”
Beaux is a typical velcro Golden who follows his humans everywhere. He sleeps on a big blanket in the bedroom and loves to sleep in. He is very calm and gets along well with the resident dogs, although he is not a fan of cats. He wieghs about 70 Lbs, has had no accidents in the house, and rides nicely in the car. Beaux has a moderate energy level and is starting to show that he may enjoy playing with other dogs. He is on exercise restriction right now, but he watches the resident dogs playing outside as if he would like to join in. Beaux loves his toys and is even pretty good at destuffing them!
Because Beaux has spent so much of his life alone, he is wishing for a home where his humans will be with him more often than not and which is cat free. Beaux is neutered, micro-chipped, has had his vaccinations and is going through heartworm treatment.
Beaux has an Adoption Pending, but hopes you will consider one of our other great dogs in need of a loving home.

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.
