Firefly, now Duke, has been adopted!
When his adopters arrived at the meet and greet with a bag full of toys it was love at first sight for all!
His new family has reported back to us “Duke is such a sweetheart and eager to please. He is causing smiles all around.” The boys have been loving on him, playing together and all three are running through the sprinklers on these hot summer days.
We know Duke is going to be living his best life!

Meet the best cuddle buddy, Amigo! He’s available now for adoption in SoCal. 💙💛💙🐶
He’s about 10 years old, super sweet, very affectionate and a calm demeanor! He was in the shelter, found on the streets as a stray and his family didn’t come looking for him.
He’s afraid of dogs (living on the streets can be really scary) and will do best in a house with a yard…he doesn’t need or really enjoy walks - just loves his people! Amigo would make the perfect companion for someone who wants an inside dog that will be by your side and not need walks or a lot of activity.
If you believe your home and lifestyle is the perfect match for this precious sweet pup, please check out his bio and contact Amigo’s Rep directly about adoption. https://scgrrescue.org/pet/amigo-2/
We received some very sad news today, one of our alumni, Finnley (part of a bonded pair with Mogley, now Oakley) has passed away. 😢💔
One of our Reps received this message from Finnley’s adopters:
“I’m not sure if you remember us. You vouched for us to get Finnley and Mogley from the rescue. We have loved and cherished these two boys and unfortunately our boy Finnley left us unexpectedly within a week long sickness we tried to figure out. Turned out he has a massive internal tumor and was bleeding internally. They day we found out, we tried to get an in home euthanasia because he was so uncomfortable at the vet. There were none available and he passed peacefully the same night in our arms. It was a terrible thing to experience, but he brought our family so much joy in the 3.5 years we had him.“
Run free Finnley! Our deepest condolences to Mogley and his family, please keep them in your hearts and thoughts.

Pupdate from Jack’s (formerly known as Ivan) adopters:
“Just wanted to let you know it’s been a year with our Jack (formerly Ivan) and adopting him was one of the best things we’ve done as a family. He’s been our rock, our Velcro doggy, our comfort item, everything we could have wanted. He was even there when we scattered our late dog’s ashes and licked up our tears. Thank you for bringing him to us!”
We are so happy for Jack and his loving family!!
Summer Dog Safety PSA
Did you know dogs can suffer from heatstroke in just 15 minutes? 🌡️🐶 Keep them cool and hydrated this summer, and stay informed with our safety tips!
Beckham, aka Bentley, is a very handsome 6YO lab looking for someone to help him adjust to the life of an indoor pup.
Bentley lived his life outdoors, and although he was loved he didn’t get much training or socialization. His original family decided to relinquish him to SCGRR so that he could have a better life.
He’s learning commands and learning how great it is to be spoiled in a house. He’s potty trained, enjoys toys - and hopes you’ll play with him. Since he has not had much socialization he needs someone willing to go slow as he gets used to new surroundings and should be an only dog for the time being. He loves people and the attention they give - probably never got enough of this and craves it now.
Bentley’s ideal home will include an experienced dog owner with patience to help him socialize, continue adjusting to life inside a home and who is home a lot to give him the love and attention he needs (and deserves). A yard is ideal as he loves to play and loves fetching!
If you are interested in adopting this gorgeous pup, please read his entire bio, check out his video and contact his Rep directly. https://scgrrescue.org/pet/beckham/
Brut, (once known as Lalu) a former Bubble pup, has been adopted!
Brut was adopted and then returned to us last October. His new family reached out after they lost their lab (adopted from SCGRR), looking to adopt another pup to add to their home and a companion for them and their other pup, Sugar. They all hit it off at the meet and greet.
We’ve received a few updates now. Brut swam in the pool, was brushed, walked, ate and then napped on the couch his dad! Life is good!
We couldn’t be happier for Brut and his forever family!
Amelia is in her foster home decompressing now - pictured here with SCGRR alumni Kolton.
Amelia was totally shut down at first, but the foster says that she is becoming more comfortable, is housebroken, good on leash, and she finally approached her today for pets and a belly rub!
It is going to be a bit of a process, but we think she will do well. We will give her the time she needs! It’s probably been really tough on Amelia losing what family she had and being stuck in a shelter. We got you Amelia!
Another fantastic adoption - 6 year old Nancy, now JJ, came to us from the shelter and has found her forever family!
Nancy - absolutely chill, easy going and just a love. We had to find her the perfect home, and we did!
Nancy has a new fur sister, a Bernese Mountain dog - they hit it off right away. She is Nancy’s best friend already and walks like a champ with her.
We are so happy for JJ that she will have the best life ever! Her family tells us they absolutely love her. 💙💛💙
Meet 1YO Tanner, one of the sweetest young pups you can imagine - pretty near perfect! And he’s available for adoption in SoCal.
Tanner gets along with everyone he meets, loves other dogs (tries to get his cat foster sibling to play with him), not a mean bone in his body - just wants to be with his people. 💙💛💙
He loves going for walks, even runs nicely next to a bike and LOVES to play fetch (he swims too). Tanner is full of love and a “leaner”…he likes body contact and just wants to please. He knows how to sit and is very treat motivated, which makes training him a breeze.
If you’d like to make Tanner your new best friend, please check out his bio (some videos too) and contact his Rep directly about adoption: https://scgrrescue.org/pet/tanner/
Introducing Amelia!
Amelia was just hours away from euthanasia on Saturday!! We heard the pleas to save her life and with the very generous support of The Fishlinger Foundation her medical expenses (and her transport) are covered.
This girl is such a sweet girl! Love how her ear just sticks straight out - what a cutie! She’s about 6 years old and already spayed.
Amelia went straight to our vet and medically speaking she’s in great shape - her ears are infected so that’s being treated. She is very shutdown, not surprising with losing her family, stuck in a shelter on the Euth list then swept off to stay in a vets office for a couple of days.
We have found a foster for sweet Amelia and we will give her some time to decompress while continuing to treat her ears and she will be ready for her true forever family.

We are so excited to announce the adoption of sweet 8 year old Coop, now Milo!
His new mom and her 3yr old Golden Millie were an immediate match at the meet and greet!
Milo, and his new fur sibling Millie are getting along great. Milo even jumps up on the bed to join Millie cuddling with mom. Milo has a great backyard to play hours of fetch with his mom. Mom, Millie and Milo are so happy and loving their new home of 3!
PSA: Make sure your pups stay hydrated!
Keeping your pup hydrated is always important - even more so in the hot summer months, given the heat ☀️ Look out for these signs from Chewy Vet Care, and make sure to:
💦 Keep water and a bowl handy, especially when you’re on the go.
🚰 If you're noticing milder symptoms like only tacky gums, offer them a small amount of cool water to drink.
📱 If you’re noticing moderate to extreme signs of dehydration, and has other symptoms, like lethargy, decreased or increased urination, vomiting or diarrhea, or they haven't eaten in 24 hours, call and make an appointment with your vet immediately.
Ren, now Brisco, has been adopted!
Ren isn't our typical shelter pull as he is a terrier mix, listed as a golden retriever mix and being at a high kill shelter we couldn’t leave him behind.
Now he’s living the dream! Brisco has a large yard to chase squirrels and lizards and a mom and dad home most of the day to spoil him. He’s even made friends with the family cat!
Brisco went to a long time SCGRR adopter where he is already so loved. Happy life sweet Brisco!
Pupdate: Candace & Benni
These two pups love one another so much and have come a LONG way, both medically and behaviorally. They have been fortunate to have two wonderfully-loving foster families that have tag-teamed their care to accommodate each other’s travel plans. They just moved back to their original foster. While we keep them in foster care dealing with some medical needs, they have learned to be wonderful companion dogs. The fosters have taught them how to enjoy life indoors and have helped them feel secure and much less fearful. They now walk great on-leash, are crate trained, housebroken, and their coats are growing back in beautifully.
They absolutely will need to be adopted into a home together as they are truly best friends!
They will hopefully be available for adoption in about a month.
Thank you SO much once again Tess McIntyre Foundation for your generous donation to help us with the medical expenses for Peanut Butter!
When our partners Southern California Golden Retriever Rescue saved Peanut Butter she was suffering from a large tumor on her leg, infections in both ears and badly neglected teeth. The tumor turned out to be spindle cell carcinoma. While as much of it as possible has already been surgically removed, she will need to have monthly medication, blood tests and exams to try to keep it from coming back. We are providing funding to cover the costs of Peanut Butter’s care for the next six months.
She is currently in a permanent foster and is enjoying what our partners at SCGRR term a happy and pampered life.
PSA: Blue-Green Algae
Thanks BISSELL Pet Foundation!
🚨🐾 Attention Dog Owners! 🐾🚨
Did you know that blue-green algae can be hazardous for pets? Found in stagnant water like ponds and lakes, this toxic algae can cause severe health issues and even be fatal.
Spread the word and help protect our beloved pets! 🐶💙
We are very sad to say goodbye to our permanent foster, Sunshine. He and his life companion Moonbeam were rescued from a high kill shelter last September at 13 years old! This very bonded pair was in sad shape, almost 30lb underweight, terrible teeth, lumps and bumps everywhere. Sunshine wasn’t neutered. They moved through several fosters and were even adopted, but returned when Moonbeam (grandma) couldn’t make it down the stairs in time and kept having accidents in the house. Through it all, they maintained their sweet dispositions and really just rolled through all the changes. In December, they finally made their last stop and were taken in by a volunteer/rep to be permanent fosters. Sunshine suffered from laryngeal paralysis. In spite of age and illness, Sunshine (Grandpa) loved walks around the block, all people and most dogs, especially Grandma and his new sister Mia. He had sloppy kisses for everyone he met, all ages. His last 6 months were happy ones and he acted like his foster’s house was his forever home. He ate great food, hung out by the pool and had trips to the beach. Last weekend, his breathing deteriorated quickly- a trip to the ER revealed that he probably had aspiration pneumonia and his chances of recovery were poor. We made the decision to compassionately euthanize him. His foster mom was with him, her head in his lap. Dogs like Sunshine and Moonbeam always deserve a 2nd act, at any age. Because of SCGRR he had a very happy and healthy last 8 months and Moonbeam is still carrying on, living her best life.
RIP beautiful boy.💔😢

We need a foster (or adopter) for Carter. He’s an amazing dog, really pretty easy and he doesn’t need walks, just a backyard for exercise and play. Carter needs a quiet home with no other dog(s), no cats or small critters. Please contact us about fostering this sweet pup! https://scgrrescue.org/become-a-foster/# Please share!
Look who got released from the hospital and just arrived home with her foster - Addy!! Thank you all for the love and support! 💙💛💙 we will keep you updated on her progress.
Meet Oscar! 🦮💙 Oscar is a super chill, relaxed 9-year-old 78lb. yellow labrador retriever. It seems Oscar has spent some time on the streets and has likely been exposed to a lot of different experiences. None of those, however, have affected his awesome and loving demeanor. Oscar is super friendly and very sweet and will make a great companion for someone looking to hang out with a cool dog. 😎 Like most labs, he has a strong tail wag and loves to greet you with something in his mouth. Oscar has proven himself a happy-go-lucky houseguest that is potty trained and crate trained. Now Oscar sleeps comfortably on a dog bed in the bedroom of his choice at his foster home. Lucky dog! 🍀 Oscar loves to play fetch and plays well with toys. He loves having something in his mouth and he always carries his toys around. He’s such a lab after all! He has been living with a small dog in his foster home and the two get along just fine. ✨ Oscar enjoys his walks and can pull a bit, but he learns quickly not to so walks are a great experience for him and for you. Oscar does know some commands and will sit for you. Yet at 9 years old, he’s a bit stiff and sitting is a bit of a chore. He also likes riding in a car, but he will need a little help getting in and out. He can also go up some stairs but again, may take him longer due to his more mature hips. If you are looking for a sweet low to medium energy dog that will be so happy to spend his days with you, then look no further because Oscar is the dog for you. 🙏💙 Please read his full bio: https://scgrrescue.org/pet/oscar/ #adoptdontshop #yellowlab #adoptme #fureverhomeneeded #southerncalifornia #rescuedog

Join #permanentfoster, Tommy, and all his pals in showing off your own #pawty 🎉 today. Drop a comment below 👇 or tag 🏷️ us in your stories to celebrate together. Then drop by our page to read more about Tommy: https://scgrrescue.org/tommy/ DID YOU KNOW? 💭Speaking of Tommy, SCGRR’s amazing Save-a-Life, Permanent Foster Program allows us to provide lifetime care for dogs deemed not adoptable due to long term health, or behavioral issues. Most are terminal others are uber-seniors with mobility issues, dogs with seizures, many with cancer or assorted medical issues, feral dogs, and dogs with supreme fear-based anxiety. Many have been abandoned at shelters, some have been surrendered because the cost of care to their families was prohibitive, sadly others have passed along to SCGRR for hospice care because their families just did not want to deal with end-of-life care. Each dog requires a specific home to meet their needs. All of these dogs deserve the best rest-of-their life, which is what this program provides.

Bestest boi, Carter, is still on the search for his #fureverfamily 💙 Carter is an 8 year old flat coat retriever who was saved from death row. It’s unbelievable to think that this well mannered, affectionate, and incredibly intelligent lovebug has ever feared for his future. He’s going to make some lovely #fureverfamily very lucky someday soon! Carter’s ideal home would be a young or retired couple or an individual living in a quieter neighborhood. He would like to be the center of your universe – your one and only pet. He needs a physically strong handler for walks in nature or hikes or even short jogs in the early morning air. Carter would also love a yard so he has the opportunity for some free, off leash time. No kids, small critters or other dogs. If Carter can fill that very special place in your home and heart, please check out this full bio page and apply today: https://scgrrescue.org/pet/carter/ #adoptdontshop #southerncalifornia #goldenretriever #goldenretrieverrescue #dogsofinstagram #dogrescue #bringmehome #mansbestfriend #flatcoatretriever #blackdogsrule
