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!

Meet lovable Teddie, an approximately 1.5-year-old Yellow Lab mix full of love and happiness. Teddie wandered up to the home of a dog-lover and, try as she might to find his owners, no one came forward to claim Teddie. He has now traveled to the Northeast and is living with a wonderful foster family, getting lots of love while he awaits his forever home.

Teddie is a friendly fellow who loves all humans, both young and older. Teddie rides well in a car, and enjoys playing with other dogs, and would do well with a young canine companion to romp with. Check out how Teddie plays so nicely with his canine buddy in his video! He is a bit of a goofball and will keep you laughing for hours!

Teddie's foster mom shared, "Teddie loves everyone...and I mean everyone; he even stops and wags his tail when cars drive by when I’m walking him. He truly thinks everyone is his friend. He loves other dogs and loves to eat. In fact, when it’s time to eat he runs to his bowl."

"Teddie is extremely happy to see you when you come home, even if you’ve only been gone 5 minutes. He sits at the window and watches us when we leave. Then when he hears the car, he’s back at the window then runs to the door to greet us. He’s so excited to see us when we get up in the morning too."

"Teddie loves playing catch with tennis balls. He would be great for someone that enjoys long walks and he’s gotten so much better walking now. Teddie sleeps through the night and goes to the door to let you know he wants to go out. He is a smart boy, knowing many basic commands. He is looking for an active family to take him on new adventures and who will continue to help him become the best boy ever!"

Teddie, who weighs about 65 lbs, is heartworm negative, has been neutered, brought up-to-date on vaccinations, and is micro-chipped. He received a Proheart 6 injection so he will not need any additional heartworm preventative for 6 months. If you are ready for lots of love and devotion, Teddie is your boy!

If you are approved to adopt through SGRR, are home most of the day, and have an active lifestyle, and a sense of humor, please contact Cheryl Kewley to be considered to adopt this wonderful boy. 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.

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.

Please contact us with any questions regarding your application status.

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.
