I have an adoption pending but hope you will consider one of our other dogs in need.
Our sweet boy, Max, is looking for his Valentine! He even wrote a poem dedicated to his secret love. "Roses are red, violets are blue, there is no better person for me than you!"
Oh, if you are the lucky one who captures Max's heart, you will be in for a real treat! This easy-going boy is as sweet as they come and has intelligent eyes that look right into your heart and soul. Max was picked up as a stray in Escambia County, FL. Clearly he was someone's dog and was already neutered, but no one came to claim Max, which just as well since they did not take very good care of him. Max came in with some hair-loss, likely caused by an allergic reaction to flea bites and poor nutrition. Max has had medicated baths and his coat is starting to show some peach fuzz where there was no hair! He also received a Cytopoint injection to help curtail the itching and is on his way to looking his best again!
Max is estimated to be about 4 years old and walks fairly well on the leash. He is good with other dogs, but has no history with cats or children since being with our rescue. Max weighs 69 lbs, is extremely affectionate, keeps his kennel clean, and loves all kinds of treats! He is heartworm negative, up-to-date on vaccinations, and micro-chipped. Take a look at this sweetheart in this video!
This soon-to-be even more beautiful Golden Retriever mix needs a place to call his forever home. Can you help Max know that he is loved and cherished as every dog should be? Max should be ready to travel north in early February just in time for Valentine's Day to be directly adopted.
Rescued dogs come with a range of needs - from behavioral to emotional to medical. When approved applicants adopt such dogs, they agree to continue the rehabilitation we have begun.

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.
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.

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.
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.
Please be a ray of light for this Sunshine dog and make a tax deductible donation toward medical and other expenses. Every cent of your generosity goes directly toward the care of a Sunshine dog.
