Rescue of the Month

Sunshine Golden Retriever Rescue is a 501c3 registered dog rescue group.  Since 2005, the volunteers of SGRR have rescued Golden Retrievers, Golden mixes, and golden-hearted dogs who have been abandoned, abused, or relinquished by their owners.  They are dedicated to finding the best possible homes for these dogs in need.

The adoption process at SGRR begins when a homeless Golden Retriever (or other golden-hearted dog) is brought into rescue. Each dog is first provided a medical assessment and any necessary treatment including spaying or neutering, heartworm treatment, and vaccinations. Their personality and temperament are evaluated from the moment they are welcomed into the rescue. SGRR attempts to assess each dog's behavior with other dogs, children, adults, and other animals when available. They observe their dogs to determine their level of house training, crate training, leash skills, knowledge of commands, ability to ride in cars, activity level, and exercise needs.  Then, they carefully select homes based on the needs of each individual Golden or golden-hearted dog.
