Australian Shepherd puppies and dogs in Connecticut

This handsome fellow and his siblings came in to rescue last winter after they were dumped on a back country road. Their mother was found deceased, so we took the puppies in to try to save them. They were very sick initially but are very healthy now. Big boy is a gentle boy but does love to run and play with other dogs. Big boy was the largest of the puppies, but his siblings have caught up to him. He has done amazing with his house and crate training. He is so deserving of a wonderful home to call his own. He is fostered in East TN, but transportation is included in the adoption fee and provided by Rescue Riders LLC. Please let me know if you have any questions. Please email us for the link to the adoption application (His adoption fee is only to cover transport and health certificate to travel to another state.)

Meet me at 348 Old Colony Rd. Eastford, CT Meet Timber. He's a handsome goofball looking for a family of his own forever. Timber was adopted from PawSafe as a puppy but due to his dad's health challenges, he needs to be rehomed. He's a loving smart dog. Housebroken and used to living in a home and not a shelter. He is people, kid, and dog friendly. He's hoping his stay is short. Sorry we cannot adopt to MA residents.

I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other dogs in need. Thank you! One of the advocates at a shelter in AL made us aware of this lovely little lady who was picked up as a stray, and not for the first time. This time, however, her former owners decided not to reclaim BlueBeri, and that was her lucky day! She is now a Sunshine dog, and she will never be lost or homeless again! Beri has the most interesting coat - it's shiny and mostly black with some beautiful brindle marbling throughout. She has intelligent eyes that seem to look right into your heart and soul. You can certainly tell she was once someone's beloved companion, and she longs to be just that once again. Beri soaks up affection like a sponge and will most certainly enjoy curling up on your lap while watching TV or reading a book. She takes treats gently, walks nicely on the leash, and is the epitome of all things you could ever want in a BFF. Beri gets along with other dogs but needs a home without cats. Heather, one of our volunteers in AL, tells us, "She’s an excellent retriever and is faster than she looks! She loves retrieving a toy, and more often than not, she brings it back. She’s playful and trots around the yard like a little queen. She lets me know when she’s ready to go back inside and is a social butterfly, greeting the other dogs in their kennels when she heads back to her space. She is super cute and perky with her adorable little ears and is so compact at 41 lbs! Her coloring is simply incredible!" So there you have it - Beri is all good things in a little package! If we ventured a guess as to what breed Beri is, we'd have to say she's a Heinz 57, but perhaps she has some Aussie in her. Whatever it is that went into her DNA mix, it created one totally AMAZING pup! Beri's microchip from her prior life shows her age around 10 years, but we think the age may have been an estimate, as she certainly has more energy than the average senior dog, and we place her at about 8-9 years of age. Once she is done playing or walking, she is happy to chill and hang out with her humans. If you would like to give Beri the best years of her life, and you are approved to adopt through SGRR, please contact Mary to be considered to adopt Beri. Check out Beri's video! BlueBeri is micro-chipped, spayed, and up to date on vaccinations. Beri is under treatment for heartworms and has been given a Proheart 6 injection for 6 months of heartworm prevention. Beri should be ready to come north to be directly adopted in mid-January. Can you just picture her curled up with you on a cool winter day after a walk in the fresh air? Well then... What are you waiting for? Ask about Beri soon! 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.
