My story

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

Adopted 7/17/13!!!

Bogey is a 17 month old Purebred boy from Rensselaer Breeders in CT. He was adopted as a puppy by his former family but this young, growing family just did not have the time to dedicate to a young dog. As hard as it was to part with this handsome fellow, they knew he deserved a better life then they were able to offer him.

Bogey is being fostered in MA where his foster dad is learning all about him. Bogey is good with children and loves to play. His foster dad told us, he enjoys a good game of fetch and keep-away. He is good on a leash and loves going for walks and hikes. He also loves to swim – which is good because this hunky boy needs to drop a few pounds! When out walking, Bogey will bark at strangers when he first sees them but will then go up to them to be petted. He is a very Velcro dog and wants to be right by your side. He shows no signs of possessiveness and is a constant tail-wagger. He is trained on invisible fencing and is OK in the car. Bogey had not been exposed to many dogs in his early life so he acts like a tough guy when he first meets other dogs. With some work by his new owner, he will learn that dogs can be fun friends. Bogey has had some formal training and attended obedience school but he does need to be reminded of his manners so he doesn’t jump up upon meeting new people.

Bogey is on his way to becoming an awesome companion. He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and heartworm negative. He's just GORGEOUS and has that sweet "teddy bear" look that is sure to melt your heart! Just look at his face.....that nose makes you want to bestow a ton of kisses on it! And be sure to look at Bogey's videos.

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.
