I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other dogs in need. Thank you!
Teddy is a truly adorable Golden Retriever who is house trained, good with kids, cats, and other dogs. Although his owners were very sad to see him go, we know we will find him a fantastic forever home. Our southern volunteer tells us he is an absolute doll, super sweet and affectionate.
Being a young puppy Teddy is full of the typical energy of a Golden. His prior family tells us it seems like he is always in motion! He loves to play and take walks. He would be perfect for an active family with older children. Once in the house Teddy will settle down for the evening. He understands basic commands but will benefit from additional training to sharpen his skills.
Teddy has been brought up-to-date on vaccinations. He is neutered, heartworm negative, and micro-chipped. He has been given a Proheart injection which provides 6 months of heartworm prevention. At about 6 months of age, Teddy weighs approximately 56 pounds and we estimate he will probably weigh around 65 pounds when full grown.
He will be arriving in the northeast in early June. If you are home most of the day, and have a sense of humor, Teddy might be the perfect puppy for you!
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.

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.

A contract is signed the day of adoption. 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.
