Golden Retriever puppies and dogs in Lake Grove, New York

*Rescue Placement Only* Dexter is a 4.5-year-old retriever mix with a story that has so far, had no happy ending. After multiple placement attempts, Dexter ultimately finds himself back at the shelter where he started. Dexter is friendly with people he is comfortable with, but even with that, exhibits quirky behavior from time to time. While Dexter is generally cautious around strangers, he is social with other dogs, displaying tolerance and lower energy during dog-to-dog interactions- However- he may guard his people, once he becomes attached. He has good leash skills and knows basic cues such as sit and paw. Overall, Dexter will need an adult only home with continued training, structure and management of his quirks so that he can finally have the happy ending he deserves. He`s a sweet and gentle dog once he feels comfortable, and he thrives in a secure, predictable environment.

Rylo came in with another dog as an owner surrender. Unfortunately they could no longer care for them so he is currently at the shelter. Rylo is a little bit over a year old and is a retriever mix. He walks well on leash, and already knows the `sit` cue. Rylo may take some time to warm up to people, but so far he is doing quite well with making new friends slowly! Rylo is a playful pup and would do best in an active home, where his new family can take him on some outdoor adventures!

Foster Home Update: Marvin is doing well in his foster home! He loves his toys and to be with his foster mom while she works from home. He enjoys his walks and loves playing fetch and romping in the backyard, as you can see in his video. Marvin is a stunning, red-coated, 7-year-old Golden/Lab mix with the most expressive face! You can almost see what he is thinking when he looks at you. Found in an apartment all alone after his humans moved away, he was relieved to be found and has settled in happily as he awaits his forever home and his best years. Marvin is a really nice dog through and through. While at the vet clinic in AL, he got along fine with other dogs and even cats. However, since Marvin doesn't like to share his toys with other dogs, we will seek a home where he will be someone's "one and only." He has a soft mouth and we have learned that he loves soft toys. His foster family in the northeast shares, "Marvin loves to play and will use any toy or ball to get your attention when he wants to play. He loves tennis balls; he retrieves the ball and then releases it. He also enjoys chewing on toys and balls - he's quite a fun dog." Marvin appreciates attention and he will be a terrific companion in a loving home. Friendly and outgoing, Marvin's tail is almost always wagging. He enjoys the companionship of the foster family's teenagers. He walks okay on a leash and with some fine-tuning, he will have this skill mastered quickly. Marvin has a moderate energy level, typical of a 7-year-old dog, so regular nice walks and playtime are on his wish list. When it's time for nighty-night, Marvin sleeps in his bed all night long without a peep. Good boy, Marvin! Very good boy! Weighing about 80-85 lbs, Marvin is vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. He was treated for heartworms and is now cleared for regular activities. He has also received a Proheart 6 injection which means he will not need heartworm preventative for six months. He is in a foster home in the northeast and is ready to meet his forever humans! 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 interested in becoming the happy ending to Marvin's rescue story, please contact Mary to be considered.

I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other dogs in need. Thank you! Beautiful Ginger found herself in an overcrowded shelter in Mississippi and was adopted by a local rescuer who planned to keep Ginger for herself. Sadly, just two weeks after bringing Ginger home, the rescuer found out she had terminal cancer and asked if SGRR would find this beautiful girl her forever home. We were happy to help and it was just in time as this gentle woman passed away quite suddenly. At about 9-10 years of age, Ginger is a dream girl and her foster family has only wonderful things to say about her. She has perfect house manners, walks well on the leash, and rides nicely in the car. Ginger loves watching sports on TV with her foster family and her favorite thing to eat is scrambled eggs. One of our volunteers shared, "Ginger does this adorable thing where she kinda murmurs when being loved on and she leans in for more pets and praise. It’s like a purring cat in a larger Golden Retriever female! :) Such a loving and sweet lady." Ginger is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, and microchipped. She is under treatment for heartworms and has been given a Proheart-6 injection for 6 months of heartworm prevention. Ginger weighs about 60-65 lbs, and is good with other dogs, but has no known history with kitties. She will be ready to come north to be directly adopted in mid-to-late December.

I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other dogs in need. Thank you! One of our southern volunteers was made aware of a lovely 12-18 month-old golden and white colored pup who was in a shelter in Elmore County, AL. Picked up as a stray, the shelter staff was amazed that no one came to claim Nugget because he is an amazingly sweet boy. His favorite human shares, "Nugget is a spirited, affectionate, friendly, and eager-to-please young pup! He loves to play and retrieve toys. Nugget is quick to sit when he wants a treat or knows one is coming his way - surely a sign that someone has trained him in his past life. He's a fun pup and just needs an adopter to continue to work with him and the rewards will be endless!" Nugget gets along well with submissive dogs and would do nicely with a calm canine companion to learn from. Nugget was tested with cats at the shelter and when the cat swiped at him, Nugget backed away. He rides nicely in the car and gets a B in leash-walking. Nugget covers his humans in kisses and affection. He has a big heart in a beautiful, fluffy package. Nugget, weighing in around 55-60 lbs, has been brought up-to-date on vaccinations, is neutered, heartworm negative, and microchipped. Nugget has been given a Proheart injection which provides 6 months of heartworm prevention. If you are home most of the day and are approved to adopt through SGRR, do not wait to contact us about Nugget. He will be arriving in the northeast on 11/16/24 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 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. If you would like to be part of Nugget's rescue story and are already approved to adopt through SGRR, please contact Cheryl Kewley to be considered to adopt Nugget.
