My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello! My name is Drake, and I’m a 9-year-old red Golden Retriever with a soft heart and a love for everything that feels like family. I may be a senior, but I still light up when it’s time for walks, treats, or just being told I’m a “good boy.”
My brother Jethro and I have been together since puppyhood. He’s my partner in crime, my protector, and my comfort. We’ve always lived indoors, with the run of the house during the day and a safe spot to sleep at night. I’m house trained and leash trained, though like Jethro, I’ll bark and pull if I see other dogs. Cats and kids are a bit of a mystery to me—we just haven’t been around them.
I’m also a great car companion. Our family used to travel often, and I learned how to relax and enjoy the ride. At home, I’m well-mannered, polite, and very eager to please. What I love most is being with people who will give me attention, love, and the occasional snack. I am 95 pounds of pure love!
Since our mom passed away earlier this year, Jethro and I have leaned on each other even more. We’re protective of one another, and we need to stay together—it’s the only way we know how to live.
If you have room in your heart and home for two gentle, loyal seniors, we promise to bring love, companionship, and a bond that will inspire you every day.

Go meet their pets
We are a foster-based, volunteer-driven rescue. All SDRO dogs available for adoption are listed on our website. The listing includes information to help you decide if one of our dogs is right for your household. If you are interested in adopting a dog, please complete an online application. If your home suits the dog's needs, we'll call you to discuss your application and ask any follow-up questions. Our experienced adoption coordinator will discuss the dog’s needs with you to help determine if your home is the right fit. Since we do not operate a shelter and all our dogs are in foster care, a meet-and-greet will be your first opportunity to meet the dog face-to-face.
