We often say that God knew what He was doing when he created puppies to be so darn cute! We imagine Jax's young owner could not resist his sweet puppy face. But life changed for that young person and he left Jax with his grandparents who, unfortunately, found his energy level to be too much for them to handle. Instead of working with him on manners, they relegated him to life in their backyard. This sweet love muffin is a diamond in the rough and an adopter who is willing to dedicate time to training Jax will be greatly rewarded with a WONDERFUL dog! Jax is with a professional trainer right now, who will start him on his way to becoming the best dog he can be. He shows such promise and is a loving guy who is ready to bring brightness to his new forever home. Jax is an affectionate Golden mix (maybe with Duck-Toller*) who is about 2 years old and is an energetic 45 lb. puppy in his heart. He is so charismatic and is the first dog you will see in a room full of dogs or people - friendly, outgoing, loving. Jax wants to be your new best friend the minute you meet him. If you are looking for a loyal companion who will follow you everywhere then Jax is the fella for you! He is good with other dogs but has no known history with cats. This boy loves to play with toys and enjoys his chewy bones!! He is up-to-date on vaccinations, micro-chipped, heartworm negative, and neutered. All that is missing is a place to lay his sweet head where he will know that he is home, forever. He should be ready to come north in mid-January. (*Often the Duck-Toller breed is mistaken for small Golden Retrievers but they are a breed unto their own. Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers are energetic and are extremely intelligent thinkers. Once they accept you as their leader, the bond will last forever. Duck Tollers are affectionate and loving with family members and are very patient with children.) 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 Jax's rescue story and are already approved to adopt through SGRR, please contact Cheryl Kewley to be considered to adopt Jax.

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.

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.

These babies are currently 4 weeks old they will be up for adoption soon!

Meet Honey, a 5.5-year-old retriever mix who’s basically a living, breathing marshmallow: soft, sweet, and just a little bit squishy when it comes to confidence. At first glance, Honey might look like she’s auditioning for the role of “shy woodland creature #3” ,she’ll avoid eye contact at first, but give her a little time, and you’ll discover a quietly charming, low-key girl who’s just figuring out how to trust the world again. Honey knows how to sit and walks nicely on leash, which makes her the perfect companion for quiet strolls with plenty of sniff breaks. With other dogs, Honey is social but prefers the gentle, polite types. Pushy pups need not apply—she’s not afraid to set boundaries with a side-eye and a graceful retreat. Because she’s still gaining confidence, Honey would do best in a calm home with kids aged 12+ and maybe a respectful canine roommate who understands the beauty of quiet companionship. If you’ve got a cozy spot on your couch and the patience to let a tender soul bloom in her own time, Honey just might be your perfect match.
