My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other dogs in need. Thank you!

Skye is an affectionate Golden Retriever who was born on 3/30/2024 and weighs about 40 pounds. Skye's original family likely adopted her because they could not resist Skye's sweet puppy face. Unfortunately, they seem to have spent little time with her due to travel schedules and Skye was frequently boarded. Well, it was Skye’s lucky day when they turned her into our rescue. Skye is now a Sunshine dog and will be forever loved!

This sweet love muffin is ready to begin her new life as a cherished companion. An adopter willing to dedicate time to training Skye will be greatly rewarded with a WONDERFUL dog. This tail-wagging love-bug enjoys bones, toys, and balls. Skye is full of life, walks fairly well on a leash for having had such little training, and she keeps her kennel clean. Skye lived with 2 other dogs in her home and got along well with them. She needs supervision around cats, so a home without cats is what we are seeking. Skye does like children but would be best with kids 10 and older.

If you're looking for a fun-loving, happy-go-lucky, medium-sized, young female who is affectionate and full of exuberance, showing her gratitude by demonstrating joy in everything she does, Skye could be the girl for you. She shows such promise and is a loving girl who is ready to bring brightness to her new forever home.

Skye is up-to-date on her vaccinations, micro-chipped, and spayed. She is heartworm negative and received a Proheart 6 injection so she will not need any additional heartworm preventative for 6 months. All that is missing is a place to lay her sweet head where she will know that she is home, forever. Skye should be ready to come north in mid-October to be directly adopted.

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 are approved to adopt through SGRR, are home most of the day, and have an active lifestyle, please contact Cheryl Kewley to be considered to adopt this cuter than cute girl.

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.
