Some tug at your heart more than others because of what they've been through before rescue came along to save them. 💔 Sweet dogs like Rocket are ALWAYS the ones that break my heart because it is so hard for them to trust....but once they trust, a bond is formed as strong as steel. In order for Rocket to continue his journey of learning to trust, he needs a committed foster or adopter, and we are pleading that you share his post far and wide to help us help him. This boy is full of love and zero aggression toward any living souls.... great with other dogs, wants so badly to be loved and learn to trust humans, could care less than squat about feline friends. Rocket was born into an overcrowded situation and never knew what one on one care and love was like, but you can help change that by adopting, fostering or even just sharing his story. A little more about Rocket......this sweet boy is about a year old and 40ish pounds of heart and soul that wants to love and be loved SOOOO badly! He is a diamond in the rough and needs a patient family who understands that some dogs don't come in a "ready made" package but are more of a DIY project. This love will need help with his leash skills, his house training manners, and generally just learning the ways of the world. But if you've ever experienced the love and loyalty of a dog like Rocket, you KNOW how rewarding the end result is and you KNOW the loyalty and love that these dogs bring to your life. His two sisters have been adopted and settled in very quickly, and we have no doubt that Rocket will be the same....he just needs somebody to give him the chance and the love that he craves and deserves. Apply to adopt Rocket today at www.cprdogs.com. Rocket is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. All dogs 6 month + receive a Proheart 6 injection at the time of their heartworm test. This provides heartworm prevention for 6 months from the time of that injection. The adoption fee is $500 which includes spay/neuter, up to date vaccinations, flea/tick and heartworm preventatives, and the mandatory CT HB 5368 fee. This dog tested negative for heartworms. Visit our website to see our weekend Events here! Pups with the designated “meet me” next to their names are in CT and ready to attend adoption events. Please check with your adoption coordinator if you are interested in a specific dog prior to coming to an event, as a dog's availability to attend can change at any time. We can not guarantee approval on site at the events, so we recommend applying ahead of time. You can apply at the event, but the application process may not be able to be completed the same day. If you are not pre-approved, you are still welcome to come and meet pups at the event!

This pretty girl is Denaka. She is a 5-year-old Golden Retriever and weighs 72 lb. Denaka was surrendered to DAWS due to the health of her owner. She is used to being in a home and reportedly is housetrained. Denaka is a sweet girl who loves pets and attention. She is also a huge fan of playing fetch! Denaka has low confidence when meeting other dogs, but that might also be that she is unsure of herself in a kennel setting. We don't know what Denaka thinks of cats, but can cat-test her if needed. If you love Goldens, Denaka may be the dog for you. Let's get Denaka out of the shelter and back into a home asap! Denaka is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated and healthy. Her adoption fee is $440. If you would like to meet/adopt Denaka, please complete our online application at https://daws.org/daws-online-adoption-application/ or stop by our shelter. We are open 10 AM to 4 PM seven days a week. The DAWS shelter address is 147 Grassy Plain St. Bethel. Email daws@daws.org with questions or if you wish to schedule an after-hours appointment. Denaka can't wait to meet you!

"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 in his past life, and is underweight at 63 lbs, and we feel he could use a few additional pounds of groceries in his belly. Thinking back to his neglectful past 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 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! 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.
