Story
Meet Buttercup — The Sweetest Little Cream Golden Retriever girl 🤍🐾 Buttercup is an absolutely beautiful cream English Golden Retriever puppy who is ready to find her perfect forever home! SHe is currently seven weeks old and will be eight weeks old next week. This sweet girl is already showing what a wonderful personality she has. Buttercup is incredibly happy, friendly, and loving, with a beautiful temperament. SHe is a smart little girl who is learning quickly and is already doing great in his crate and using the wee pads. SHe is a very intelligent puppy and loves being around people and enjoying life. One thing we already know about Buttercup is that she loves water! A home with a nice, secure yard would be perfect for her, and a family with a pool that he could safely enjoy would be an absolute dream for this water-loving Golden girl Because Buttercup is still just a young puppy, she will need a home where someone is around during the day to spend time with her, continue her training, and give her the attention and companionship she needs. Someone who works from home or is retired would be ideal. We also believe Buttercup would do especially well with another friendly dog to be her companion, playmate, and big brother or sister. We are looking for a calm, loving adult home with no small children, where Buttercup can grow up feeling safe, loved, and included as part of the family. Buttercup is a happy, intelligent, and absolutely adorable little girl with so much love to give. SHe is looking for a special family that understands the commitment of raising a Golden Retriever puppy and is ready to give her a lifetime of love, companionship, training, and fun. San Diego County homes only. If you are looking for a beautiful cream Golden Retriever puppy with a wonderful temperament, a love for water, and the sweetest personality, Buttercup may be the perfect little addition to your family. 🤍🐾please go to www.goldenstatedogrescue.org and fill out the adoption application

💛🐾 Meet Sebastian — A Gorgeous Cream Golden Retriever! 🐾💛 Sebastian is a 1-year-old purebred cream Golden Retriever who is handsome, happy, playful, and ready to find his forever family! This beautiful boy is a wonderful combination of everything we love about Goldens. He is sweet, friendly, affectionate, and full of life. Sebastian loves people, absolutely loves other dogs, and enjoys being included in whatever his family is doing. He is already house-trained and crate-trained, and he walks well on a leash. Sebastian loves going places with his family and would make a fantastic companion for walks, adventures, outings, and everything in between. And if there is water around, Sebastian is ready! 💦 He absolutely loves swimming and playing in the water. He is a fun, active young Golden who will happily enjoy an adventure with his family and then come home to relax with his people. Sebastian has never lived with children, so we feel a home with older children would be the best fit for him, especially because he is young, playful, and energetic. He truly loves being an inside dog and wants to be part of his family’s everyday life. His ideal home would be with someone who works from home or is retired, so he can have plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. Sebastian is such a good boy and has so much love to give. He deserves a family who will take him along on adventures, let him enjoy his favorite things—especially water!—and make him a cherished member of the family forever. ❤️if interested please go to www.goldenstatedogrescue.org and fill out the adoption application for him 🏡 Sebastian’s ideal home: • 1-year-old purebred cream Golden Retriever • House-trained and crate-trained • Walks well on leash • Wonderful with people and dogs • Playful, energetic, and affectionate • Loves swimming and playing in water • Older children preferred • Inside dog • Someone home during the day — retired or work-from-home • A loving family who enjoys including their dog in everyday life ✨ Sebastian is ready to find his forever family and become the amazing companion he was meant to be! 💛🐶

Story
Max is a stunning red Golden Retriever with a beautiful heart to match. At approximately 70 pounds and between 8 and 10 years old, Max is the kind of dog who is simply looking for one thing: a loving home where he can spend the next chapter of his life surrounded by comfort, companionship, and love. Max is incredibly sweet, calm, and easygoing. He is fully housebroken and can be left comfortably in the house without any anxiety or destructive behavior. He loves having a yard to enjoy, but what Max truly loves most is being close to his people. He is happiest when he can simply be near you, keeping you company and sharing his quiet, loving presence. Max absolutely adores other dogs and gets along beautifully with everyone. He has no issues with people or other dogs and enjoys being part of a family. He is gentle, loving, and easy to have around—the kind of dog who quickly becomes your very best friend. We would love to find Max a beautiful home with a nice, secure yard and someone who has the time to spend with him. A retired person or couple looking for a loyal companion would be absolutely perfect for Max. He would love someone who wants a best buddy to share walks, relaxing days, time in the yard, and lots of love. Max has so much love left to give, and he deserves to spend his golden years knowing what it feels like to truly belong. If you are looking for a calm, loving, loyal companion who will happily stay by your side, Max may be the perfect dog for you. Max isn’t asking for much—just a loving home, a comfortable place to rest, a yard to enjoy, and someone who will cherish him for the rest of his life. In return, he will give you unconditional love and the most wonderful companionship you could ever ask for. ❤️please go to www.goldenstatedogredcue.org and fill out the adoption application for him
