Story
Honor is more than ready to leave her past behind and start the happy life she deserves! After spending the first 6 months of her life chained up, she’s now discovering just how fun and exciting the world can be, and she’s embracing every moment of it. This sweet and silly girl has a playful personality that will keep you smiling. She’s doing great with other dogs and is beginning to learn what it means to just be a carefree pup. Everything is still a little new to her, but she’s curious, eager, and full of potential. Honor would most likely do best as the only pet in her new home, and in a household without young children. She’s looking for a patient and loving person who can be her guide, her cheerleader, and her best friend, someone who will stay diligent with her training as she continues to grow and learn. With a little encouragement and a lot of love, she’s going to blossom into an amazing companion and adventure buddy. 💛

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Noah ❤️ Hi, I’m Noah! I’m a handsome 1-year-and-8-month-old boy who has been through more than any dog should. I was living in an abandoned house with several aggressive dogs, with no family around to look out for me or keep me safe. Thankfully, I was rescued before something terrible happened. Despite everything, I’m still a super friendly, loving boy who just wants a family of my own. ❤️ I’m neutered, fully vaccinated, and 4DX negative. Now I’m hoping my next chapter will be filled with love, safety, and a family who will never leave me behind.

Story
Yue is 2 years old, adopted from San Diego Humane Society. Vaccines are up to date and microchipped. We are looking for a new home for Yue because she hasn’t been able to get along with our other dog who is 10 years old now. We hoped that they would get along and get used to each other as time went on but recently it has escalated to a point where we needed to consider the safety of both dogs. We feel that it would be best for Yue that we find her a new home where she can be the center of attention and get the care that she deserves. Yue is very sweet and loves to be outside and run around. She loves peanut butter has got a big stomach.

Story
Bee is a super sweet 10-year old mix. I originally adopted her from a rescue in Oklahoma when I lived out there. I have a small toddler now and she stresses Bee out. We live in a small apartment and I’m unable to keep them separated without Bee having to be muzzled or kenneled (both of which she hates). She loves to be with people but babies and small children make her nervous. Older kids about 7yo and up, she’s perfect with because she’s so chill and calm. She spends most of the day laying around but loves to go on walks. She’s a little chunky but would love to be a lap dog if you let her. If you’re looking for a sweet, calm, perfectly housebroken old girl who is fine dozing by herself or on your lap all day then you’ve found the perfect new family member for you! (Again, just no small children around please).

Meet Buttercup — The Sweetest Little Cream Golden Retriever girl 🤍🐾 Buttercup is an absolutely beautiful cream English Golden Retriever puppy who is ready to find her perfect forever home! SHe is currently seven weeks old and will be eight weeks old next week. This sweet girl is already showing what a wonderful personality she has. Buttercup is incredibly happy, friendly, and loving, with a beautiful temperament. SHe is a smart little girl who is learning quickly and is already doing great in his crate and using the wee pads. SHe is a very intelligent puppy and loves being around people and enjoying life. One thing we already know about Buttercup is that she loves water! A home with a nice, secure yard would be perfect for her, and a family with a pool that he could safely enjoy would be an absolute dream for this water-loving Golden girl Because Buttercup is still just a young puppy, she will need a home where someone is around during the day to spend time with her, continue her training, and give her the attention and companionship she needs. Someone who works from home or is retired would be ideal. We also believe Buttercup would do especially well with another friendly dog to be her companion, playmate, and big brother or sister. We are looking for a calm, loving adult home with no small children, where Buttercup can grow up feeling safe, loved, and included as part of the family. Buttercup is a happy, intelligent, and absolutely adorable little girl with so much love to give. SHe is looking for a special family that understands the commitment of raising a Golden Retriever puppy and is ready to give her a lifetime of love, companionship, training, and fun. San Diego County homes only. If you are looking for a beautiful cream Golden Retriever puppy with a wonderful temperament, a love for water, and the sweetest personality, Buttercup may be the perfect little addition to your family. 🤍🐾please go to www.goldenstatedogrescue.org and fill out the adoption application

Max is a stunning red Golden Retriever with a beautiful heart to match. At approximately 70 pounds and between 8 and 10 years old, Max is the kind of dog who is simply looking for one thing: a loving home where he can spend the next chapter of his life surrounded by comfort, companionship, and love. Max is incredibly sweet, calm, and easygoing. He is fully housebroken and can be left comfortably in the house without any anxiety or destructive behavior. He loves having a yard to enjoy, but what Max truly loves most is being close to his people. He is happiest when he can simply be near you, keeping you company and sharing his quiet, loving presence. Max absolutely adores other dogs and gets along beautifully with everyone. He has no issues with people or other dogs and enjoys being part of a family. He is gentle, loving, and easy to have around—the kind of dog who quickly becomes your very best friend. We would love to find Max a beautiful home with a nice, secure yard and someone who has the time to spend with him. A retired person or couple looking for a loyal companion would be absolutely perfect for Max. He would love someone who wants a best buddy to share walks, relaxing days, time in the yard, and lots of love. Max has so much love left to give, and he deserves to spend his golden years knowing what it feels like to truly belong. If you are looking for a calm, loving, loyal companion who will happily stay by your side, Max may be the perfect dog for you. Max isn’t asking for much—just a loving home, a comfortable place to rest, a yard to enjoy, and someone who will cherish him for the rest of his life.
