My story

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

Adopted 6/29/13!!!

Max is a handsome, light blonde Golden who is being left behind because his owners cannot take him with them when they move out of state. This is happening to him after living his life with his family, and now losing them as he looks forward to his 13th birthday in August. Victims of the economy, Max's owners must move to housing that does not take dogs. We are thankful that they contacted Sunshine to help him.

His owners have always taken good care of Max. He has been fully vetted every year, has been neutered, is up-to-date on his vaccinations, and is heartworm negative.

Best of all, Max is a sweetheart! He loves to run and play -- no couch potato senior here! He is extremely loving and affectionate, good with both old and young people, and gets along with other dogs. He has no experiences with cats.

All Max needs is someone with a big heart who will welcome this sweet senior, and give him love, a soft place to sleep, and a little playtime. He is ready to meet you! If you are already approved to adopt through SGRR, please contact Candy to be considered to adopt this loving senior. If you would like to fill out an application to adopt Max, please visit our website at Sunshine Golden Retriever Rescue or click on the Adoption Application link below.

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.
