Kobe, an adorable Golden Retriever puppy was born 11/4/25. He currently weighs 23.5 lbs. at 3.5 months old. He is a very active, friendly puppy. He loves to play with toys, people, and other dogs. He has a lot of energy and would love an active home with someone who has a lot of time to play with him. He knows “sit”, “down”, and “shake.” He is very food motivated and easy to train. Also, he is doing well with his housebreaking. Kobe is up to date on vaccinations. Kobe is located in Arkansas. His adoption donation is $1,000 and the transport fee is $165. The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember we are all volunteers. After you submit your application, please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not mean he/she will be adopted to that home. Once your application has been approved a volunteer with

This handsome boy is Clifford. He is a 4-year-old Golden retriever mix and weighs 69 lb. This majestic guy has the sweetest eyes and softest coat. He is calm and loving.

Amy came to our rescue from a shelter in the Gulf area of Alabama. The shelter staff fell in love with sweet Amy and advocated strongly for her rescue. They knew she was beyond special!! This girl is the most photogenic of dogs and seems to love having her picture taken! Amy sits, smiles, turns this way and that so you are sure to get her good side - but then again, this girl doesn't have a bad side! Amy loves snuggling too and will make herself nice and cozy on your lap and bestow you with a gazillion kisses! It seems Amy was born with a congenital condition that required a femoral head ostectomy (FHO) to restore mobility in Amy's hip. Presently, Amy has a slight limp and is taking some anti-inflammatory medication. Her mobility has improved greatly and while Amy may never run a marathon, she is expected to regain essentially normal function of her affected leg, just like when we humans have a hip replacement! Her recovery is going so well that Heather, one of our volunteers in AL, tells us that Amy has been practicing for a new Olympic event called Wiggling. She likes to wiggle around on her back, which a lot of dogs do. However, Amy will keep wiggling and wiggling and wiggling all the way down the hill! It’s like a game to her, and she is looking for some teammates to join her! Amy is described as gentle, affectionate, nuzzley and kissy with incredibly soft fur. She takes treats with a gentle mouth. Amy is great on a leash and is very playful. She is interested and friendly to other dogs. She was tested with the office cat and was curious about the cat, but not aggressive. She would likely chase after a cat if it ran - simply because it would be fun to do. Amy really enjoys resting in the grass and being told how sweet and pretty she is. She is very trusting and likes being pet and adored and sits or lies down close by. She’s a really lovely girl with those big, brown, kind eyes. Amy is thought to be about 14 months old and weighs about 55 lbs. This Golden/Lab mix will make a faithful, fun, and devoted companion. She has the biggest heart and the sweetest disposition! Check out Amy's video! Amy has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and is under treatment for heartworms. She will be ready to come to the northeast in mid-March to meet her forever family! If you are approved to adopt through SGRR, please contact Cheryl Kewley to be considered to adopt Amy. Amy is a real GEM and will not last long, so don't wait to ask about her!

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.

Neighbors living on a certain street in AL said all they wanted was a good night’s sleep, but with the constant barking of dogs, something had to be done. And finally, something was done. Dozens of dogs and cats were removed from a home by the police. Our sweet little Jemma is one of the dogs who was rescued from this hoarding situation, and we were so happy to take in this cutie pie and find her the loving home she deserves. Jemma is a petite Golden-hearted senior, estimated to be 7-8 years old and weighing right around 30 pounds. If you believe wonderful things can come in small packages, keep reading about Jemma! This doll-baby will melt your heart with her big, expressive brown eyes. She loves to prance around the fenced area at the vet clinic where she has been staying, watching what is happening in her world. Watch her in her video. Jemma spent her first night at her foster home sleeping on the floor until she discovered the bed....a nice luxury for her! Now she sleeps in bed with her foster mom and her dog. She is a good and affectionate girl who can be left alone at home and is practicing her leash-walking skills. She could stand to gain a few pounds, and with good nutrition, we feel her pretty gold and white coat will get shiny and bright. Her wish list is to have a fenced yard for outdoor time and a home where she can spend a good part of her day with her family. Currently completing heartworm treatment, Jemma has been vaccinated, microchipped, and is spayed. She has been given a Proheart-6 injection for 6 months of heartworm prevention. She also had a dental cleaning while at our vet clinic and a small, benign lump removed from her front leg. When she trots along, she has a slight limp, which, upon x-ray, it appears to be from an old injury. No surgery or medication is required, but her little limp is part of who she is. Jemma will be ready to travel to her home in April, but do not wait to ask about this little charmer! If you would like to give Jemma the loving home she deserves and you are approved to adopt through SGRR, please contact Mary to be considered.

Oakley is a 13 old, adorable mixed breed puppy and we think she is so cute we can hardly stand it! She is well socialized, friendly, loves to play with her dog friends, LOVES people, and is just generally a very good time. Her current hobbies are napping, eating, finding mischief, and stealing kisses! She's currently waiting for her forever home- if that could be you, we'd love to hear from you! 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.
