My story

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

Passed away 12/6/12 due to undetected cancer

Adoption Pending!!!

Beaux is a handsome, red, pure bred Golden Retriever who is 9 years old. He has been loved his whole life but his elderly mommy and daddy can no longer care for him as their health is declining. Sadly, they need to find a new home for their furry boy.

Beaux has been getting love, attention, and high-quality food from his Foster Mom. She tells us he is a "charming gentleman who smiles and I love that!!" She describes Beaux as "her favorite foster guy ever!" Beaux is kind to her cats and gets along fine with her two Cocker Spaniels. As for kids, his former owner told us that his granddaughter used to rest her teacups and saucers on Beaux's chest while he would lie on his back! Foster mom, Wendy told us, "He is excellent getting into the car and riding in the car. He is perfect on the leash after the first exciting minute or so. He wants to read the doggie newspaper -- that is sniff where others have gone before(!), but a tug or word and he is on his way again." This handsome Golden boy loves being outside and enjoying the sites, sounds, and scents of nature. But mostly Beaux is passionate about being near to his humans and getting attention from them.

Beaux is a bit overweight, probably from lack of exercise and table food. He looks at the measured dog food in his bowl and then looks at Foster Mom with an expression that says, "Is this it??" He lets out a big sigh and he eats.

A trip to the vet is scheduled for Beaux to have a benign growth removed from his chest area. It is located in an awkward spot for wearing a harness of any type, so we are taking care of that before he moves on to the best years of his life.

Do not let Beaux's age deter you from applying to adopt this wonderful, gentle dog. He just loves living and has a young spirit! Be sure to let his spirit fill your life with joy and apply today to adopt Beaux!

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.
