My story

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

Adopted 11/23/13!!!

In many areas of AL, the shelters are so full that dogs who are turned in by their owners are given only a few days to be adopted before their time is “up.” Dogs who are picked up as strays have a little extra time to allow their owners to claim them. Thus, many “owners” call the shelter and report so-called strays. This was the case for this tiny trio of pups.

PJ, Jenni, & Nessa are about 6 months old. They appear to be purebred Golden Retrievers – however, they are quite a bit smaller in size for their age. Could this be due to incredibly poor nutrition early on in life. Or could they be mixed with a smaller breed of dog. Whatever the case, these pups have true Golden personalities and all the characteristics that make Goldens so sought after! They are good with other dogs and like all people, children included.

PJ is the biggest of the trio and weighs about 30 pounds. He is more laid back in personality than the girls, but is the alpha among the pups. He has a luscious coat that is thick and curly. He loves to be cuddled and will tuck his head under your arm to snuggle as close as he can possibly get!

Nessa is the darker of the two girls and has a white patch on her chest. She is a bit more vocal than Jenni. Jenni has a beautiful blonde coat and is a little taller than her sister. Both girls weigh approximately 19 pounds and are very people oriented. They are sweet, cuddly, and think they are lap dogs!

All of the pups are heartworm negative and have been spayed/neutered. They are ready to travel north to their forever homes on 11/23. Puppies require a great deal of time, attention and patience. We can only consider applications for young dogs from folks who are home most of the day.

If you are already approved to adopt through SGRR, please contact the Adoption Committee to be considered to adopt one of these precious pups. If not yet approved, please complete an online application, to be considered. Application.

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.
