Mini BerneDoodles
Meet the adorable group of Mini Bernedoodle puppies rescued from the Ohio breeding farms and heading to sunny Florida in search of forever families! ❤️
Cole, Clara, Clover, Reba, Quinn, Oliver, and DJ are littermates born on March 24, 2026. Joining the fun is Finn, born on March 16, 2026. Finn shares the same dad - he is a very close cousin to the crew!
These sweet pups are a mix of Bernese Mountain Dog and Mini Poodle, with moms weighing approximately 110–115 pounds and dad weighing just 12 pounds. While they are considered "mini" Bernedoodles, genetics can be unpredictable, and with such large Bernese moms, they may mature larger than expected and since they are only 50% Poodle, they may shed and could still trigger allergies. Families seeking a doodle strictly for allergy reasons should keep this in mind.

Mini GoldenDoodles
Five nearly identical adorable mini golden-doodles. Seriously… did someone hit the duplicate button? Meet Princess, Phoebe, Peppa, Paisley, and Chief—five adorable Goldendoodle puppies born on March 28, 2026 and rescued from the Ohio breeding farms.
The girls look so much alike, we're pretty sure only Chief, the lone boy, knows who is who! ❤️
Their mom is a 60-pound Golden Retriever and dad is a 12-pound Mini Poodle. While considered "mini" Goldendoodles, these pups may grow larger than expected. Plus 50% Poodle, so not guaranteed to be hypoallergenic and may shed

Krista
Krista – Adopt Me
Hello Florida… I'm retiring and looking for my forever family! My name is Krista, and I was born on January 18, 2021. I am a beautiful English Cream Golden Retriever, and after spending my life as a breeder mom on a farm in Ohio, I am packing my bags and heading to sunny Florida to begin a whole new chapter.
My previous owners shared that I am good with children, and I have always been around other dogs (of course!). While I've never lived in a home before, everything is new and exciting for me. Like so many of my friends who GRSF rescued before me, I know that with love, patience, and understanding, it won't take long for me to learn what it means to be a beloved family member.
My dream home would include:
-
A fenced yard where I can safely explore.
-
A friendly mentor dog to help show me the ropes.
-
A family willing to take things one paw at a time.
-
Because I just finished raising my last litter in March, I am not yet spayed. I will need time to adjust to my new home before undergoing surgery. One step at a time… one paw at a time. My body and hormones need a chance to settle, and GRSF wants to make sure I feel safe and loved before asking me to go through another big change.
I cannot wait to discover all that Florida has to offer… the sunshine, toys, treats, cozy beds, and most importantly, the love of a family to call my own.
I may not know couches, toys, or what it means to sleep beside someone who loves me… but I am ready to learn. I promise to give my whole heart to the family who gives me a chance. I have spent my life giving love to others. Now, I am ready to learn what it feels like to receive it.

Bear
Bear- Adopt Me!
Sometimes a dog comes along that makes you wonder how he hasn't already found his forever home. Bear is one of those dogs.
Bear is a 2-year-old Newfoundland/Lab mix with the sweetest personality you could ask for. He is the kind of dog who fits seamlessly into family life. He's housebroken, well-mannered, great with kids, wonderful with other dogs, and genuinely loves everyone he meets. He knows his commands, will sit, give you his paw, hop in the car when asked, and will even bring you his leash when he's ready for an adventure.
More than anything, Bear just wants to be part of a family. He is happy, gentle, affectionate, and eager to please. The people who know him describe him as an easy dog to live with-a dog who listens well, has great house manners, and is always ready to share some love.
We urgently need either a foster or adopter for Bear. Our hope is to find him a stable place where he can feel safe and loved while he waits, for or ideally finds, his forever family.
If you've been looking for a loyal companion and a truly wonderful dog, Bear may be exactly who you've been waiting for.

Duky
Duky- Adopt Me!
Hi, I'm Duky! I'm about 4 years old, a handsome Golden mix (maybe with a little Great Pyrenees in me), and I came from Miami-Dade Animal Services. Life has not always been stable for me, but I've been learning what it feels like to be safe, loved, and part of a home.
I'm a loyal dog the kind that forms a deep bond with my person. Once I trust and love you, I'll always stay close by your side in my own quiet and steady way. I'm smart, independent, and do best with structure, consistency, and clear expectations. I know my commands, learn quickly, and really enjoy having a routine.
One of my favorite things to do is relax outside, soak up the sun, and just enjoy the day. When I get too warm, I'll gladly let you know it's time to head back inside for a break.
I'm looking for a home where I can be the only dog. While I have been around other dogs and can do well with them, I truly prefer doing my own thing and enjoy being independent. I walk well on a leash, although I can still get distracted by other dogs and may pull at times. The good news is I've been working very hard on my training and making great progress! I just need a family that will continue being patient, consistent, and supportive so I can keep thriving.
Duke would do best with someone who understands loyal, independent dogs and appreciates a calm companion who just wants love, stability, and a place to call home.

Sophie & Chloe
Sophie and Chloe- Adopt Me!
Hi everyone...we're Sophie (8) and Chloe (9), sisters from the same parents-just a year apart-and lifelong best friends. We've grown up side by side and can't imagine life without each other.
You can tell us apart because Chloe is the darker one, but otherwise we're pretty much a perfect pair.
We're the definition of easy, loving companions. We adore everyone-kids, dogs, cats-you name it! If there's a cozy spot or a friendly face, we're right there. We're gentle, affectionate, and just love being part of a family.
Our lives recently changed when our mom had to suddenly move into assisted living due to memory issues. It broke her heart to leave us, and her only wish is to find us a safe, loving home-together-where we'll continue to be cherished.
We'll be honest..we've been a little spoiled with treats so we could benefit from a healthier routine and a few extra walks. We're good on a leash and located in West Palm Beach.
If you have room in your heart and home for two incredibly sweet, easygoing girls, we promise to bring you double the love, comfort, and companionship.

Nala
Nala- Adoption in progress!
I'm a 5-year-old doodle...but everyone says I look more like a Golden Retriever! I'm about 45 pounds, full of love, and have lots of happy, playful energy to share.
I absolutely love kids and other dogs-playing, running around, and being part of a family are my favorite things. My current family is allergic to my fur so I have never lived inside.
Currently, I am being kept outside on a chain because I've figured out how to escape the yard when I get bored and lonely. I don't mean to cause trouble-I just want attention and a chance to be indescribable with family. Unfortunately, my neighbors aren't happy, and I need to find a safe place very quickly.
I promise I'm a good girl with so much potential-I just need structure, love, and someone who will guide me and keep me engaged. I would thrive in a home that:
-
Gives me exercise and attention
-
Keeps me safely secured (I'm a bit of an escape artist!)
-
Wants a fun, loving, social companion
Please...I don't want to stay out here alone anymore.

Luna
Luna- Adopt Me!
Luna is a beautiful 1 1/2 year-old spayed female weighing 55 lbs. She is microchipped and potty trained.
Luna is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and loves being close to her people. Once she has had enough exercise and activity, she is happiest cuddling and soaking up attention. She also does amazing with grooming and baths she even enjoys being dried with the hairdryer!
Luna is young, energetic, and playful girl who thrives with structure, continued training, and an active lifestyle. She is currently working with our trained and has been doing great learning manners and boundaries. She walks well on a leash, is good with kids, and has the potential to do well other dogs, especially dogs that understand her playful and high-energy personality.
Because of her energy level, Luna would do best with an experienced family or adopter who can continue her training, provide regular exercise, and help her continue building confidence and social skills. She is truly a loving dog with so much potential and deserves a family willing to invest the time and love she needs to shine.

Kingston & Belle
Kingston & Belle- Adopt Me! (Bonded Pair)
Hi everyone...my name is Kingston! My sister Belle and I were born on November 15, 2020, and we've been side by side ever since. We truly love each other - we play together, nap together, and keep each other company through everything.
We're both happy, fun-loving pups who adore kids and other dogs. We haven't met any cats yet, so that's still a mystery for us! One thing we do know is that we LOVE going on walks - it's one of our favorite parts of the day.
I'm a big fan of the water and could swim all day if you let me, while Belle prefers to hang back on the step and supervise like a little lifeguard.
I'm also your shadow - I'll follow you everywhere you go. And both of us are experts at rolling over and showing our bellies for rubs (we take that job very seriously).
We're good listeners too! We know commands like: sit, stay, go, and come. Our family loves us very much, but they travel often and don't have the time to give us the walks, attention, and consistency we deserve. Because of that, we're hoping to find a home where we can stay together and be part of someone's everyday life.
Because we love to play, explore, and spend time outside, we would do best in a home with a secure fenced yard where we can run around safely and happily. We don't need anything fancy - just love, time, and lots of belly rubs.

Leia
Leia- Adopt Me!
Update June 20th, 2026:
It’s Leia, the 4-and-a-half-year-old golden retriever - I have some exciting news to share… I just completed my foundation obedience and manners training at Applause Your Paws Canine Training Center! I’ve been working really hard and learning so many new skills — and I’m I would love to continue my training so I can pass the AKC Canine Good Citizen test. I absolutely love training time. The attention, the interaction, the “good girl” praise — it makes me so happy! I’m a smart girl and very willing to learn, so I’m really hoping my future family will enjoy continuing that journey with me.
I’m a big, strong girl, and when I get excited I might bump into you without realizing my size so I’d do best with older kids .
Some of my favorite things?
-
Car rides (let’s go anywhere!)
-
Getting out and about
-
Being petted… constantly (seriously, I could soak it up all day)
Although I am fine meeting other dogs, I do like to be the center of attention, so I’d be happiest as an only dog where I can truly shine and soak up all your love.
If you’re active and want a loyal companion who’s eager to keep learning and growing with you — I just might be your girl.
Hi… my name is Leia but you can call me Princess Leia!
I’m a 4-year-old female Golden Retriever around 75 pounds, and I’m looking for a new beginning. I’m playful, happy, and I really enjoy being around people and having fun.
I’ve been loved , but my owner is going through something difficult right now. He’s busy caring for his elderly mom and just doesn’t have the time I deserve anymore. This isn’t my fault—and it’s not his either—but it does mean I need someone new to step in and love me. Up to date on all my vaccines. Potty trained (I go outside or use pee pads). I haven’t been around kids, many other dogs or cats, so slow introductions would be best for me.
I’ve got so much love to give and I’m just waiting for someone to give me a chance

Benny & Bailey
Benny & Bailey - Adopt Me!
Hi everyone! We are Benny & Bailey - a bonded pair of golden retrievers looking for a forever home together.
We've been together since we were tiny puppies. We're not brother and sister, but we truly don't know life without each other. We sleep together, relax together, and have helped each other through every chapter of life. I guess you can say we are soul mates.
I'm Benny! I'm a 5-year-old neutered male golden retriever weighing about 84 pounds. I'm the goofy, happy guy of the pair. I LOVE people, kids, belly rubs, fetch, and being wherever my humans are. I can get excited and forget my size sometimes, but my heart is pure gold. Thunderstorms are scary for me, and Bailey helps me feel safe. I would really love a fenced yard ( I could use training on a leash walking) and lots of love.
And I'm Bailey! I'm a 5-year-old female golden retriever weighing about 70 pounds. I'm the quieter, gentle one. I'm very loving, crate trained, and walk beautifully on a leash. I love resting my paw on my people and just being close. I'm more shy and reserved at first, but once I trust you, I'm incredibly sweet and loyal.
We have grown up with children, and love being part of a family.

Denver
Denver - Adopt Me! Currently with Foster Family during therapy
Hi, I'm Denver, a 5 and a half year old male doodle with a big heart and a hopeful spirit. I suffered a back injury that's made walking a little harder for me, but I'm working hard every day to get stronger and back on all four paws.
Right now, I'm putting weight on one of my back legs, and with weekly rehab therapy, I'm expected to keep improving so my fourth leg can fully bear weight again. I'm already making progress - I just need a patient, loving person to help me finish my journey to being 100%.
I'm looking for a foster or adopter who lives near a rehab center, preferably in or around:
Davie
Oakland Park
South Miami
Boynton Beach
Golden Rescue will cover the cost of my rehab therapy - I just need help getting to my weekly appointments so I can continue healing and growing stronger.
The good news? I'm fully potty trained, very gentle, and have a calm, loving personality. I'm an easy companion who just needs a little patience and understanding while I complete my recovery.
If you have space in your home - and your heart - to help me during this chapter, please consider fostering or adopting me. Helping me heal would truly change my life, and I promise to repay you with endless love and gratitude.

Bo!
Hi, I'm Bo! I'm a handsome male Golden Retriever, born May 2021, and about 75 pounds. I'm sweet, great with kids, and very well-mannered in the house. I love a good daily walk and playtime, then I'm happy to relax and chill. I do well with female dogs but never met a cat. Fenced yard is a must for me - I love to run!!! Condos or apartment living is not for me. I'm neutered, up to date on shots, and currently in Port St. Lucie if you would like to meet me.

Honey Dew
Honey Dew!
Hi everyone… my name is Honey Dew, and my foster mom says my name fits me perfectly because I’m just about as sweet as they come. For eight years, I belonged to a family. I thought we would be together forever. Then one Saturday, I found out I had diabetes. By Friday, I found myself in rescue.
I don’t really understand what happened. I only know that my whole world changed in less than a week. But I still love people. I still believe in love. And I still wake up every day hoping my forever family is out there. I’m 8 years old and I’m more of a "let’s relax together" kind of girl. I love being close to my people, soaking up all the pets I can get, taking short walks, hanging outside with my doggie friends, and riding in the car (I just need a little help getting in). I get along with other dogs, I’m good with cats, and I’m completely housebroken. My amazing foster family says I’m pretty much perfect. I’m not looking for a busy home with lots of commotion. I’d much rather have a comfy bed, a quiet routine, and someone to love.
Oh… and about that diabetes everyone worries about? I get two little insulin shots every day, at 9:00 and 9:00. Honestly, it’s no big deal. I’m such a good girl about it! My medicine costs about $100 a month, and my healthy food and walks have already helped me lose some weight and make great progress. I’m feeling better every day.
My foster family had a big party recently, and I met lots of new people. They were all so nice! After a while, I just wandered off to the bedroom for some quiet time. I even slept through a weekend full of thunder and lightning. Nothing really rattles me.
Sometimes I wonder if being diabetic means no one will want me. But then I remember what Golden Rescue South Florida tells me:
I am beautiful.
I am sweet.
I am deserving.
I didn’t ask to lose my family after eight years.
Maybe my best chapter is still waiting to begin. Maybe there’s someone reading this right now who doesn’t mind two tiny shots a day, because they know that what they’ll get in return is a loyal best friend who will love them with her whole heart.
If you think we might belong together, I would love to hear from you.
Love,
Honey Dew
