📣💕Adoption Announcement 💕📣

It is with such joy and happiness in getting to announce that our sweet Miss Brinkley GRR 25-036 has officially found her forever home! 🏠🐾🎉

Back in the beginning of April of this year GRR was contacted by a shelter in Austin, about this sweet girl. It was evident she was in need of immediate medical attention, and our rescue put a plan together and got this golden angel.
Brinkley was found to have severe entropion in both eyes, and had other medical conditions. Fortunately, all of her medical issues were treatable.

This girl has had a long road since she entered GRR, including eye surgeries, training sessions, foster families, and learning on how to just be a dog. Despite the hurdles that life has thrown at Brinkley, she had the drive to thrive!

We would love to thank our GRR volunteers, medical team partners, the foster families, and trainers that took part in this beautiful golden’s journey! 💛

Brinkley now has two loving parents and a feline sibling that are over the moon of having her become a part of their family!

Congratulations to Brinkley and family! Enjoy this new exciting chapter in your life! 🥳🥳🥳🥳

Please welcome this lovely girl, 25-110 Lyra to GRR. She is estimated to be about 2 years old and comes to GRR from a shelter in the Rio Grande Valley. We don’t know much about her so we are very excited to learn all we can over the next few weeks. We don’t have a great photo right now but you can see she looks like a total sweetheart.

🎄 ✨ Meet Starr: Your Very Own Christmas Miracle ✨ 🎄

If you’ve been wishing on a shooting star for the perfect holiday companion… good news: your Starr has finally arrived.

Starr is GRR’s beautiful, gentle girl who has mastered the ancient art of Zen Living. While other dogs are zooming around like caffeinated elves, Starr is perfectly content lounging indoors, radiating peaceful, “I’m basically a furry meditation coach” energy.

But don’t be fooled—this calm queen has a hilariously serious side hustle as backyard security. She and the resident foster dog run a tight neighborhood watch, making sure every squirrel, leaf, or mysterious breeze knows they are NOT welcome without proper clearance. Starr’s motto?
“Not in my yard, buddy.”

Because she was a breeding dog, Starr takes her time warming up to new people and places. She’s like that quiet girl at the holiday party who hangs back at first—but once she feels safe, she’ll peek out, sniff around, and maybe even lean in for pets (her favorite). Go slow, be gentle, offer encouragement… and watch her confidence bloom like a Christmas poinsettia.

🎁 Starr’s Favorite Things:
✨ Spa time—brush her, massage her, and she goes full melted-marshmallow mode.
✨ Her Bento Ball—it’s her emotional support snack dispenser.
✨ Carrying around toys like she’s in a tiny dog parade.
✨ Following her humans from room to room like a soft, fluffy guardian angel.
✨ Nose-work and treat scavenger hunts (the girl LOVES a snack quest).

Starr is sweet, cautious, curious, and oh-so-happy in her soft little ways. She doesn’t need loud toys or wild adventures—she just wants a peaceful home, a kind heart, and a warm spot to nap while the Christmas lights twinkle.

🎄❤️ If you’re looking for a gentle soul to share the holidays with… someone who will adore you, protect your yard from rogue squirrels, and melt into a puddle during “spa time”… Starr is your girl.

Give Starr the gift of a forever home this Christmas.
And get ready—your whole world is about to shine a little brighter. ✨🐾

Please welcome this pretty little girl, 25-109 Lily to GRR. She is estimated to be about 12-14 months old and is as sweet as they come. She was found as a stray and attempts to find an owner did not pan out) and she’s not microchipped) so the Good Samaritan contacted GRR to find the best family for her. She will be going to a foster home so we can learn a bit more about her.

🐾 Meet Auggie: The Golden Retriever Goofball Extraordinaire! 🐾

Do you like joy? Do you enjoy laughter? Have you ever wished your shadow was fluffier, louder, and occasionally dragging a toy basket across the room? Then allow us to introduce GRR’s Auggie — your future favorite source of entertainment.

Auggie is a young Golden Retriever currently perfecting his life skills, which include (but are not limited to):
• Dumping out the toy basket like he’s opening gifts on Christmas morning
• Attempting to carry his own leash because “I’ve got this, human”
• Being a world-class snuggler and proud Velcro dog
• Engaging in enthusiastic wrestling matches with the resident Golden — complete with dramatic sound effects

He’s equal parts goofy puppy and sweet cuddle bug, switching from zoomies to nap mode faster than you can say “Where’d my shoe go?” Auggie loves his people deeply and will follow you from room to room just to make sure you’re doing life correctly. His heart is huge, his tail is unstoppable, and his toy obsession is Olympic-level. (If playing with the actual basket were a sport, he’d medal.)

✨ Auggie’s Ideal Home:
Auggie is looking for an active, patient family who appreciates puppy chaos and charm in equal measures. His perfect home includes:
• A friendly, confident dog buddy to show him the ropes
• Humans who enjoy outdoor adventures, swimming, and plenty of playtime
• Continued training, structure, and LOTS of love
• A well-stocked toy basket (he insists)

With consistency and care, Auggie will grow into the loyal, loving Golden he’s meant to be — and he’ll make sure you laugh every single day along the way.

💛 Could your family be the perfect match for this lovable goofball? Auggie’s ready to steal your heart… and possibly your socks.

SUNNY SKIES & HONEY – WE WANT TO BE YOUR NEW BEST FRIENDS!

🐾 ABOUT US

We’re Sunny Skies and Honey, two beautiful golden gals who have officially retired from our previous careers as breeding dogs. After years spent in kennels, we’re ready to trade our “employee housing” for a cozy couch, gentle belly rubs, and a family to call our own.

We’ve learned that life outside a kennel is full of good things — like squeaky toys, treats that aren’t kibble, and humans who think we’re hilarious just for sitting politely. With time, patience, and lots (and lots!) of love, we’re blossoming into the affectionate, gentle souls we were always meant to be.

💼 SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS
• Teamwork Experts: We’re a bonded pair, which means we come as a perfectly matched set. Where one goes, the other follows — think peanut butter & jelly, or coffee & cream, but fluffier.
• Affection Professionals: We specialize in leaning against you for pets, melting hearts with our golden smiles, and gazing lovingly until you give in to cuddles.
• Quick Learners: Every day we pick up new tricks — like how good it feels to nap on a bed that isn’t made of concrete.
• Loyalty Gurus: Once you’re ours, you’re ours forever.

🏡 IDEAL ENVIRONMENT

We’re looking for a quieter home with humans who are around often — the kind who appreciate long naps, slow walks, and spontaneous ear scratches. We need to be your one and only canine coworkers

❤️ OUR MISSION STATEMENT

To bring warmth, joy, and unconditional love to a forever home that will cherish us both — because after everything we’ve been through, we deserve to spend our days basking in the sunshine of love and kindness.

MORE ABOUT HONEY AND SUNNY SKIES

☀️ Sunny Skies: Sweet, silly, sometimes dramatic — will protect Honey’s snacks at all costs.
🍯 Honey: Gentle, loving, and the ultimate supportive best friend.

Sunny may have strong opinions about other dogs, but she adores Honey — her ride-or-die. Together, they will fill your home with warmth, laughter, and just the right amount of golden fur.

They’ll need to be your only dogs, but trust us… two Goldens = all the love you’ll ever need. 💛

Are you ready to give two golden hearts the retirement of a lifetime?
Adopt Sunny Skies & Honey — your daily dose of warmth, laughter, and love. 🌞🍯

Please welcome 25-108 Mazie to GRR. This 9 yr old golden gem was rehomed due to her owner passing away. The family members weren’t able to care for her so needed to find a new home asap. They contacted GRR and we were able to jump into action quickly. She is now with her FHTA (foster hope to adopt) family and we know she’ll adjust with time and patience.

If you are interested in fostering or adopting from GRR please visit our website to get the process started. November, December and January are very challenging months with the holidays, so we need families who are home for the holidays and ready to bring a dog in. www.grr-tx.com

Until next year… stay golden. Now, let’s give our furry models a round of applause (and maybe a treat or twelve). 🐾🎃
