My story

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

ADOPTED 6/11


“The Boss” is a 1 year-old total bundle of energy but is the happiest, most beautiful purebred golden boy that you could imagine! His owner bought him as a puppy, but moved out of his parents’ home and into a condo with the pup. He works up to 12 hours a day so poor Boss was being crated that long. He realized that it wasn’t a nice way for a dog to live and thus decided to find a better suited home for Boss. Boss is living with his grandparents temporarily because they have better hours to care for a dog but he’s just too much for them to handle at this stage in their life.

The ideal home for Boss would be with an individual or a family with a fenced yard or invisible fencing. Another dog to play with would be wonderful because Boss enjoys other dogs and he needs some rough & tumble play to get his energy out. He’s great in the house and will settle down nicely. When he’s outside he wants to visit all the neighbors and play. Boss’ grandparents have a little dog and three cats – two of the cats have been in hiding since he’s arrived, but one of the cats will take him on! He wants to play with the little dog (it’s less than 10 lbs) but doesn’t realize he’s that much bigger than the little one but you can tell he loves her. He loves the dog park and tends to be on the submissive side with other dogs. He loves all the people he meets.

Boss is looking for a home with very active people that will take him running, hiking, and swimming. He needs someone to play ball with him and love him and not keep him crated all day. He is a very loving fellow with so much love to give. If you’re ready to tap into Boss’ potential, he is ready to GO HOME!

If you can offer Boss a loving home, PLEASE APPLY by submitting an application via this online link: APPLY ON-LINE TO ADOPT through our rescue. Because of Boss’ zest for life we will not be placing him in a home with very young children who might be easily knocked over.


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.

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.

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.

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.

Be a ray of light for this Sunshine dog - make a tax deductible donation toward medical and other expenses. Every cent of your generosity goes directly toward the care of a Sunshine dog.
