Kelly & Dash
Adoption in Progress
PUPDATE - Dash and Kelly have families to welcome them! Adoption in Progress for both of these deserving goldens! Congrats to all!
✈️🐾 Coming all the way from China... TWO more precious Goldens are headed to GRSF! ❤️
Mark your calendars — May 1st is a big day as we welcome Kelly, a sweet 1.5-year-old girl, and Dash (originally named Da Da), a playful 1-year-old boy, to sunny South Florida! ☀️🐶
These two are truly miracles. Despite the hardships of their past, they are loving, gentle, and ready to trust humans — a reminder of just how resilient and special dogs can be. Anyone who has adopted a Golden from China will tell you… they are extraordinary.
Both Kelly and Dash are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, and beyond excited to start their new lives filled with love, cuddles, and companionship. 🐾💛
They do not need to be adopted together, but both would love to have families waiting with open arms the moment they arrive in Miami.
Let’s give them the warm welcome they deserve. If you are an approved adopter ready to open your heart and home email Lee Ann FlaRunkle@bellsouth.net

Beau
Available for Adoption
Beau. Perfect name for me! Anyone would want me to be their Beau. Better yet, their very own Golden Retriever! I'm every ones dream dog. I know you can tell that from my pictures. I'm funny, loving and kind. I know lots of commands. Actually, I am just awesome. I love to swim. I get along great with other dogs and kids! I'm 7 years old and have great energy. But it's not crazy puppy energy, I just love to play and run. I'd be really happy with a fenced yard and a swimming pool (paws crossed). When people talk about the " classic Golden Retriever". I'm IT!! Plus super duper handsome as you can see from my photos!

Cassie
I found My Family!
Picture this...a beautiful blonde one year old female wandering the streets. Lucky for me...a super nice lady took me in. And she wisely called GRSF to help me. GRSF posted me...but no one called or came. So, now I can start " looking" for a home of my own. Don't get me wrong, I love my foster Family...four dogs and a cat. But my own forever Family sounds great. I'd love a yard...other dogs to play with would be very cool. My foster Mom says I’m incredibly sweet and I love snuggles. I’m house broken and playful. I love toys and take treats very gently. I'm good on a leash. I mean REALLY what more could anyone want? She also says.... I could use a little training because when I get excited I do act like a one year girl. OF COURSE I DO. That's what I am! LOL

Lola
Adoption in Progress
Hi! My name is Lola! Sounds like a song, right? I am just like a loving fun song. Pure joy, love and patience. I'm 18 months old. I wound up in the PBC shelter when my owner was incarcerated. I was really lucky and got to stay in a foster home while my "fate was decided". Eventually, he gave me up. Enter GRSF! They scooped me up and here I am ready for my new forever home. I'm spayed , current on my vaccines and chipped. I'm house broken and endlessly patient with kids and dogs. Don't know about cats. Somewhere along the way..., I gained a bit of weight. So, a few pounds off would great. That should be easy, I have tons of energy. I'm ready for the next part of my happy, loving life to begin!

Azula
I Found My Family
Meet Azula 💛 The Little Pup with the Biggest Heart
Please share my story—my forever family is out there, I just know it. Let’s help them find me! 🐾
Hi, I’m Azula! I may not be a Golden or a Doodle, but I was rescued right alongside two of them—Mila the Doodle and Rose Bud the Golden—when GRSF stepped in to save us from a backyard breeder. We were all living in awful conditions, mostly confined to crates, neglected, and forgotten. But GRSF didn’t leave me behind—even though I’m “not a golden.” They saw my heart and all the love I have to give.
Now, at just one year old and 42 pounds, I’m a petite mixed breed with striking golden eyes and a heart full of love. After spending nearly my entire life in a crate, I’m finally discovering what it means to live.
When I first arrived at my foster home, I was nervous. Everything was new. But it didn’t take long before I found my groove—running, playing, and zooming around with my new dog friends. I LOVE to play, but I love cuddling up in a lap just as much. I’m your perfect combo of playful pup and snuggly lap dog. 🐕💨💞
And guess what? I had the coolest day today! I went on my second-ever car ride, walked on a leash for the first time ever, and even visited the vet where I made new friends. I’m officially 42 pounds, up to date on vaccines, and feeling great. In just two weeks, I’ve learned so much about being a dog—not a “creature trapped in a crate who couldn’t stand up,” but a happy, loving companion.
I’m housebroken, great with kids and other dogs, and I don’t even need a yard—as long as I have love, I’m home. I just need someone to keep showing me the “tricks” of being a family dog. 💫
My friends Mila and Rose Bud are still working on trusting humans, but I’m so ready for my forever home. I’m sweet, social, and full of snuggles. Watch my videos—you’ll see a loving little lap dog who just wants to be someone’s everything.

Teddy
Adoption In Progress
As Goldendoodles go... I'm the BOMB! My name’s Teddy – a perfect name for a perfect Doodle, if I do say so myself. I’m about two years old, full of love, and ready to be your new best friend.
Not only am I extremely cute, I am housebroken, super sweet, and I love to play – especially fetch! Got a yard? Even better, because I really really want one so I can run and play, play, play! I’m looking for an active family who enjoys fun and playtime as much as I do. I'm about 50 pounds of doodle energy and affection – not too big, not too small – just right!
Since I’m an enthusiastic player, I’ll do best with a dog who matches my size and energy level (or would love to be your one and only). I’d also be happiest in a home with kids over six – I wouldn’t want to accidentally knock over the littles.
If you're looking for a loyal, playful, fun-loving companion, I’m your doodle dude!
