My story

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

Adopted 9/24/11!

Ms Vicky is an adorable smaller golden mix, weighing about 56 pounds. This 5 year old gal is a Golden Retriever mixed with pure cuteness! What she may lack in the proportion of a full-size Golden, she makes up for with the size of the love she has to offer.

Vickster found herself homeless and pregnant with a litter of puppies in a shelter in Louisiana. Pups are quickly adopted but once the puppies all went home, Mamma-dog found herself still in need of a place to lay her pretty little head so SGRR stepped in. She was flown to us from Louisiana and Vicky now considers herself an experienced traveler! One of our volunteers said that “Vicky dances around in her kennel every day when she sees me approaching. She is a great dog and will make someone so happy!”

Once she is done with her heartworm treatment, Vicky is looking for is a place to permanently unpack her bags and know she is forever home! Let Vicky know she is headed "home" by submitting an application via this online link: APPLY ON-LINE TO ADOPT through our rescue.

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.
