"Some of my best leading men have been dogs," stated Elizabeth Taylor. We think she would have fallen head over heels for hunky Argiro! Picked up as a stray in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana, this 2-year-old Retriever/Shepherd mix is ready to find his forever home. One of the main volunteers in AL shares, "Argiro seems interested in other dogs when they walk by his kennel, but is not aggressive. I walked him on a leash today for about 30 minutes, and he pulled at first, but after he got a few laps of the big yard in, he did better. He's very curious and does lots of smelling and sniffing, of course. While initially unsure of what pets were about, he let me pet him and drew closer to me today than he has before. He loves attention, so I think in time, he’ll discover the joy of belly rubs!" "Argiro’s a very sweet boy and rarely has an accident in his kennel. He has good manners and walks back in to run without balking or running off like some of the pups do. He has massive paws and kind, friendly eyes. He really doesn’t bark much and wags his tail like crazy. He needs a big yard, as those legs can cover the yard at the clinic quickly!" It appears that Argiro did not know when or where his next meal would come from while on his own, and is underweight at 63 lbs. We feel he could use about 10 additional pounds of groceries in his belly. Thinking back to his time as a stray that caused him to be so thin, it is not surprising that Argiro is a bit overly enthusiastic when taking a treat from the hand, so we are working on teaching Argiro to use a gentle mouth. He is super smart and picks things up quickly. We have found that he also knows some basic commands and will "sit" and "shake" on command. Argiro was clearly someone's dog! When adopted, he will continue to blossom into a fabulous companion with an active and dedicated adopter. Argiro has been neutered, brought up-to-date on vaccinations, and micro-chipped. He will be starting heartworm treatment and should be ready to go north to be directly adopted in June. Argiro has been given a Proheart-6 injection for 6 months of heartworm prevention. If the companion you are hoping to add to your life is one that is deeply trusting, happy, and loyal, then look no further - you've found him!!! If you are approved to adopt through SGRR, please contact Cheryl Kewley to be considered to adopt Argiro. If you are not yet approved, please visit our website to fill out an application!

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.

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.

I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other dogs in need. Thank you! Spring is a 65-pound sweetheart who we believe to be around 6-7 years old. She has a moderate-to-low energy level and would much rather relax in the shade, watch the birds, and soak up affection than run a marathon. Some of her favorite activities include lounging in the grass and getting belly rubs. One of our volunteers shared, “She loves the long grass! I mean, really loves it! She likes to lie on her back and wiggle around, scooting with her paws in the air like she just don't care!” Spring knows how to sit, keeps her kennel clean with no accidents, and requires minimal training. One of her cutest habits is lifting her paw to get your attention and encourage even more petting. It's impossible to resist! This friendly girl gets along well with other dogs and is curious and social when meeting new canine friends. She may occasionally bark at a dog she's just noticed, but her goal is usually to say hello and touch noses. She would likely do well with another friendly dog but would be just as happy being the center of attention as your one-and-only "Queen Bee." Spring walks reasonably well on a leash and would benefit from some continued practice, but she's already a pleasant companion for casual strolls. Overall, Spring is a healthy, happy dog who is ready to trade kennel life for a comfy couch, loving family, and belly rubs. Could that home be yours? Spring has been spayed, brought up-to-date on vaccinations, micro-chipped, and is heartworm negative. She will be ready to come from the South for direct adoption in late June. She has been given a Proheart-6 injection for 6 months of heartworm prevention. 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. Spring is ready to meet you!
