Beauty & Simba
Available for Adoption


Beauty & Simba - Adopt Us! (Bonded Pair)
Here at GRSF we LOVE happy stories! Now what we're looking for is a HAPPY ending! If you saw or SOS post about Beauty, the Golden in PBCACC, you'll remember she was separated from her buddy, the Lab Simba. Well, they're not separated any more! GRSF got them both out (thank you GRSF volunteer Susan)!
Beauty and Simba are around 7 years old, current on vaccines, and chipped. Simba is neutered. They are house broken, low maintenance, good with cats and other dogs. Most importantly, they are so happy to be together again. They will need each other and love going forward!
Got room for an incredible rescue? If so, maybe you'll be the happy ending we're looking for.

Dolly
Available for Adoption


Well , hello Dolly! Yes, that's me. I'm 18 months old and weigh 45 pounds. You can CLEARLY see I'm absolutely GORGEOUS. I'm sweet and fun and shy. My owners gave me up because I was afraid of soooo many things and situations. But now, since I've been living and working with my best friend and trainer, Amanda. I'm really getting the " hang" of enjoying everyday life. Now that I'm ready to find my new forever home....one of the things I'll really need is a nice, friendly mentor dog. That gives me so much confidence. I'm not a happy girl when left alone a lot. So, if you're a family that's " gone "most of the day". We won't be a good match. I'd love a fenced yard because I'm young and love to run around. I ADORE kids. But most of all, I'll blossom with love and cuddles!

Oliver
Adopt Me

Oliver– Adopt Me 🐾☀️💛
Okay, my name is Oliver. My first post a few weeks ago said I'm sweet, loving and absolutely as cute as can be. All that is true...but not until I know I'm safe. And that could take a day or so. I went to a "forever" home. No one's fault. But I needed time to trust and adjust. My first post also said I'm fine with other dogs...well, maybe. But, truthfully, I'd be much happier if I were some one's one and only. I'm around 9 years old. I guess I think I've earned the "right to feel safe" first. Before you see the loving cuddly me. So, here's the plan:
I'd love, love, love a forever home that would love, love, love me. I'll be the best cute buddy as soon as I know I can trust you. I've been groomed, neutered, and I'm current on my vaccines. I've still got lots of energy and time left to love everyday of my life.

Tito
Adopt Me

Tito– Adopt Me 🐾☀️💛
To say before and after hardly describes my pictures. I went from " torture" to comfort and happy. I was found hiding under a car. Life was awful! But now...I've recovered and I'm looking forward to a new life! I'm about a year old. I only weigh around 10 pounds. I'm awesome! I sleep through the night. I'm fine with other dogs. Actually, I'm just FINE! I'm ready!

Kelly
Adopt Me

Kelly 🩷– Rescued from China – Adopt Me 🩷
Oh my goodness! I made it to America... all the way from China! 🇨🇳✈️🇺🇸. It was quite the journey, but being here in sunny Florida makes every moment worth it. GRSF worked tirelessly to get me here since March, and I’m so grateful. Just take a look at my pictures—I’ve heard a picture is worth a thousand words, but let me say this: I’m stunning! And my size…. I am perfect smaller golden girl around 50lbs.
I’m a beautiful golden girl, likely around 3–4 years old (though no one knows for sure). I’m completely housebroken, current on vaccines, and absolutely obsessed with people of all ages and sizes. I’m your classic Velcro golden—loyal, loving, and always nearby. I sleep through the night like the princess I know I am. And can we talk about TV? I discovered it here—wow! No TVs in China, let me tell you. Now I love watching everything while snuggled on a soft bed in the AC. This is the life I’ve always dreamed of. But... here’s the part of my story I’ve just started to share.
I spent most of my life in an overcrowded, harsh shelter in China. It wasn’t the kind of shelter most people imagine. It was noisy, full, and tough. I never had my own food or toys—I didn’t even know what they were. So, I learned to guard whatever I could get. That’s how I survived.
Because of that past, it’s going to take me a little time to understand that in this new life, there’s always enough. Enough food. Enough toys. Enough love. I'm currently staying with a wonderful trainer in Port St. Lucie who’s helping me unlearn the guarding behavior I needed back then—but it’s a journey, and I’ll need someone patient and committed to helping me continue.
And to be honest? I’ve had my fill of other dogs. I’m fine with them (except for my food/toy guarding), but what I really want is my human. I’m not interested in sharing the spotlight—I’ve waited too long for my own person to love. I have so much affection to give, and I’m ready to pour it all into the one lucky human (or family) who says, “Kelly, you are home.”
An ideal home for me? One where I’m the center of your world. Where there are no other pets. Where I’ll be loved, guided, and reminded every day that I’ll never go hungry again. I promise I will give you all the love back….thousand times.
If you’ve been looking for a golden with a heart full of love, a spirit of resilience, and the desire to be your one and only—look no further.
📍 Currently in training in Port St. Lucie, FL

Marlo
Adopt Me


Marlo – Adopt Me! 🐾☀️💛
Can you say active and zoomie galore? Marlo is estimated to be 1-2 years old, and he's got all the playful charm of a goofy puppy. He's high energy and thinks there is nothing better than racing around the yard and leaping into the air. He's potty trained, neutered, fully vaccinated, and smart. He's dog and cat friendly, loves car rides, going places, and is a fan favorite at Dog Dune Ranch day care. He also adores kids-big and small!
He would do best at going to daycare or dog parks a few times a week to get all his zoomies out! But once its time to chill, he's a total cuddle bug. This boy is ready to thrive in the hands of someone experienced who can continue his training and give him the structure and love he deserves.

Onyx
Adopt Me

SAVED...REALLY. GRSF saved me (I heard that’s what they do). I was on the streets, thunder and lightening all around me. I was terrified. I was also a MESS! My coat was wet, long, matted and oh so dirty. It was hard to tell exactly what I was. Turns out… after a bath and a full “shave down”, I am a handsome, young Doodle. At first I was kind of shy and withdrawn....well THAT’S changed. Take a look at my video! I get the zoomies with fun jumps! When I stop, give me a couch to cuddle on! What a great combination! I’m young and friendly. I’m great with other dogs. I feel soooo much better! I’m ready for my forever home. Just wait until my curly, shiny coat comes in. Everyone will swoon over me!!!
