Flat-Coated Retriever puppies and dogs in Valley Stream, New York

I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other dogs in need. Thank you! Through no fault of his own, this 2ish-year-old black beauty found himself in a scary place - a high-kill shelter in Louisiana. Being black in coloring, the color least adopted, Luigi's life was in danger. We will never know where this sweet boy spent the first years of his life. It is apparent that he was once someone’s pet, but his owner was not to be found. Luigi charms everyone he meets and will sit for a treat, shake hands/paws, and roll over for a belly rub. He has a great temperament and has never met a stranger. This young fellow has an energy level appropriate for a dog his age and will need an adopter who can provide him with adequate exercise, activities, and companionship. Luigi would do well with some training to help him become the very best version of himself. In return, Luigi will give you his unconditional love, 24/7, 365! One of our volunteers in Al shared, "He’s sooo gorgeous and has a happy spirit. He's not really keen on retrieving, but is getting the hang of it, as you can see in his video. Luigi loves to run and eventually settles after he runs around the yard, so a fenced yard in his new home would be wonderful for him. He’s in good health and has very white teeth that he likes to show off when he smiles! He totally loves affection." Luigi is good with other dogs, would enjoy playing with older children, but has no known history with cats. He has been brought up-to-date on vaccinations, is microchipped, neutered, and heartworm negative. Luigi has been given a Proheart-6 injection for 6 months of heartworm prevention. If you have it in your heart to give a gorgeous guy a loving and forever home, please consider Luigi. He will be ready to travel north in early May to be adopted. Please contact Cheryl Kewley if you are approved to adopt through SGRR. He is the most loving guy you will ever meet, and the most wonderful thing about Luigi is his heart and spirit. Rescued dogs come with a range of needs - from behavioral to emotional to medical. When approved applicants adopt such dogs, they agree to become an important, forever part of their life journey by continuing the rehabilitation we have begun. If not yet approved for adoption, please visit our website to learn more and to submit an online application. Click here to visit our website. Please contact us with any questions regarding your application status. PLEASE APPLY by submitting an application via this online link: Click for Adoption 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. 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.

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.

Meet Sally, a 3 month old, 7 lb bundle of personality and pure chaos in the cutest way possible. She is doing amazing in her crate at night and settles in like a pro. Daytime potty training is still a work in progress. She understands that outside is the goal, but she will need a consistent routine and a little patience to get there. Sally is all about love. She truly believes everyone she meets is her new best friend. She is wonderful with kids, incredibly friendly, and always ready to soak up attention. If there is a lap nearby, she is in it. Total cuddle bunny and proud little princess. She’s also a bit of a goofy girl who is still figuring things out. She may not always make the most graceful choices, but she takes it all in stride and keeps everyone laughing along the way. If you are looking for a sweet, silly, affectionate puppy who will bring a lot of love and personality into your home, Sally is ready to meet you. Apply at BARRKLI.org to adopt Sally! ##2698923##

Meet Condor! Condor is a 5 month old pup who is already crate trained, doing great with house training, and gets along well with both dogs and cats. He is food motivated and eager to learn, which makes continuing his puppy training a fun and rewarding experience. This handsome boy has a calm, gentle nature and a slightly shy side at first. Give him a day to settle in and you will see his sweet personality start to shine. Condor is happiest relaxing by your side, enjoying a cozy spot on the couch with a good bone. He still is a playful puppy who loves fetch!  Condor would love a home with a yard where he can explore at his own pace. He enjoys the company of other dogs and would be happy to have a pup friend, but he would also do just fine as your one and only. He is not overly affectionate right away and is not much of a kisser, which makes him a great match for someone who prefers a more low key companion. Condor shows his love in quiet, loyal ways and truly blossoms with a little patience and understanding. If you are looking for a sweet pup to share your home and your couch, Condor may be your perfect match. Apply to adopt Condor at BARRKLI.org! ##2691155##

Hi, I’m Lucy! I’m a 3 month old, 6 pound mixed breed puppy and part of the Charlie Brown crew. I’m sweet, a little sassy, and full of love. I love my humans and all the affection you can give. Snuggles and belly rubs are my favorite. I also love my stuffies and playing with my toys. I go wee on my wee wee pad and I’m learning to go outside on a leash. I’m still a baby, but I’m doing my best. I’m looking for my forever home where I can share all my love and puppy kisses. Could that be you? Apply at BARRKLI.org to adopt Lucy! ##2698924##
