My story

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

Adopted 5/28/13!!!

Chappy is a sweet, sweet boy with a million dollar smile. Can’t you just picture his face on a box of dog biscuits! He is about 1 ½ years old and has a shining “GOLDEN” personality and a gorgeous reddish-golden coat.

Chappy's Foster Dad tells us that Chappy has lots of energy and loves to play fetch with a tennis ball. "He will play all day!" They walk about 2.5 miles each morning and evening as Chappy's foster understands that consistent and plentiful exercise is key for a young dog like Chappy. Chappy is good walking on a leash except for barking and pulling when he sees another dog. While he ignores cats, he is clearly not a fan of other dogs. He knows some basic commands, like sit, lay down and come, but needs a little more training to master stay and off. Chappy does well when riding in the car - just laying down to enjoy the ride. He has not shown a fear of thunder or loud noises but will alert to a loud noise and just move a little closer to his foster until the noise passes. In the house, Chappy is well behaved, whimpering if he needs to go outside and content to play with his ball and squeaky toys when left alone.

Chappy is a great dog who loves to be close to his people and to play. So if you are looking for a walking or running buddy, this handsome fellow is sure to oblige. If you have lots of love and time to dedicate to Chappy, he will repay you with a lifetime of devotion! He is up to date on his vaccinations, neutered, heartworm negative, and ready to go 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.


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.
