Golden Retriever puppies and dogs in Bridgeport, Connecticut

I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other dogs in need. Thank you! This lovely lady is as pretty as a picture and has a smile that lights up a room. Lucy wandered onto the property of a dog-lover in Louisiana. When she was unable to locate the owner, she reached out, and Lucy is now a Sunshine dog! Lucy's foster mom shared, "Lucy is such a love bug and just wants to be next to you. She is a quick learner, picking up basic commands easily. She is good with other dogs, loves all people, tall & small. She is housebroken and walks well on a leash.” Lucy will do best with an active adopter or family who has the time to continue her training and give her lots of attention. She would also love a dog sibling, if that was a possibility, but cats would be too much of a distraction for her. She enjoys children and would be a nice family dog. If you looked up the word "happiness" in the dictionary, there might be a picture of Lucy next to the definition. Just look at that smile on her face!! And when Lucy gets to her forever home, she will be grinning far and wide! Super pretty and super sweet - she's the perfect package of fun and good looks! Lucy is ready to join her humans and be at their side. All she needs is her heart person to come along and make her life complete. In turn, Lucy promises to be your best friend forever and ever! Lucy is thought to be a Golden mix of about 1- 1 ½ years of age. At 57 lbs, Lucy needs to gain some weight and should likely be about 63 lbs as a good weight. Lucy has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and is heartworm negative. She has been given a Proheart 6 injection that provides 6 months of heartworm prevention. Lucy is currently being fostered in New England and is ready to find her forever home now! 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 you would like to be part of Lucy's rescue story and are already approved to adopt through SGRR, please contact Cheryl Kewley to be considered to adopt Lucy. 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.

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! Toby came to our rescue through the good deeds and kindness of several animal lovers. He was once a beloved companion, but his owner in MS passed away and that left Toby in need of a new home. Toby is a stunningly beautiful boy who has the kind of face that you could just picture on a box of dog biscuits! But he is more than just a handsome face; he is a wonderful Golden mix who longs to be the center of someone’s world, with a typical “love me” Golden attitude. Toby is estimated to be about 4 years old and is described by Heather, one of our volunteers in AL, as a big goofy puppy! "He is a fluffy, sweet guy who tries to dance with me and then puts his paws around me. Seriously, it's like he's saying, "Hey girl!" He likes belly rubs and is one handsome fella who loves treats!" Toby is good with other dogs and weighs in at around 75 lbs. This Golden mix has been neutered, brought up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and micro-chipped. Toby should be ready to go north to be directly adopted in mid-January. Toby 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 affectionate, deeply trusting, happy, and beyond beautiful, 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 Toby. Rescued dogs come with a range of needs - from behavioral to emotional to medical. When approved applicants adopt such dogs, they agree to take on whatever comes with the dog. It is up to YOU to continue the rehabilitation we have begun. This is what it means to rescue.

Blaze is a 12 week old handsome boy with a loving disposition. He loves attention and love from people, kids and other dogs. He plays great with his siblings and is a chunky fun baby! He will be a great pet! This puppy Is spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, treated for all of the intestinal parasites, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. Because intestinal parasites are cyclical, your puppy may need additional treatment once you get him/her home. This is common and nothing to be alarmed about. Puppies and dogs need to be treated periodically for parasites throughout their entire lives. The adoption fee is $550 if your adoption is prepaid prior to your pup's arrival. An additional $50 will be charged on puppies that are adopted at an event, or foster home. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with CT HB 5368. WANT TO MEET OUR DOGS IN PERSON? Check the Events tab on cprdogs.com for all weekend adoption event info. The majority of the dogs marked as 'meet me' will be there to see you! More and more of our adopters are having fun with DNA tests on their pups. You might ask yourself why our breed guess is varying degrees of difference from the DNA tests. Most of our puppies are rescued from high kill shelters or other abandonment situations and we have no info on parents. When we rescue puppies that have no background info, we make our very best educated guess as to breed mix and age. Our guesstimate comes from years and years and years of animal welfare work and training, but our guesses won't always agree with your vet, your neighbor, your DNA test, etc. The most important thing to know about your puppy's breed mix is that most likely he/she is a Super Lovable Mutt made of many many many different breeds. If you are a MA resident, your new family member is required to go through a mandatory 48 hour quarantine period at the Woburn MA isolation facility. Your new family member will be dropped off by our transport on Thursday and will be ready for you to pick him/her up on Saturday between 11 am-1 pm. An additional $100 fee will be added for any dogs picked up from the Woburn MA quarantine facility. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with MA Order 405-CD-12 and Order 1-AHO-05. TO APPLY PLEASE GO TO www.cprdogs.com. If your application was successfully submitted you will get an automatically generated confirmation email. Please DO NOT USE the ADOPTAPET "CONTACT THIS RESCUE GROUP" form below or you may not hear from us as these often end up in spam or bouncing back. After receipt of your application, an adoption counselor will then be in touch to answer your questions about this pup, discuss the adoption process and get the ball rolling! If you have not heard from one of our volunteers within 5 days of submitting your application, please email mollibo@gmail.com.

Merry Brite is the prettiest large puppy with her curly and fluffy hair! Born 11/8/25, she will be ready to travel by the end of January.

She would make a great addition to any family. She has already learned to use the doggie door to go outside to potty. If you want a great addition to your family, go ahead and apply for her.
