The appeal was posted to private Facebook group Singapore Pet Adoptions & Rehomers on Feb. 16, 2021.
The owner said in the post that they were unable to keep Queenie after someone in their estate had allegedly complained about the canine.
Golden Retrievers are not one of the HDB-approved breeds, which usually run smaller in size.
Flat owners who breach the regulation can be fined up to S$4,000.
Queenie is described as a "friendly girl" who likes children. The Golden Retriever is outdoor trained and understands basic commands, the owner added.

It is also sterilised, microchipped, and licensed under the AVA (now AVS, or Animal and Veterinary Service).
Its new owner should have "lots of patience and love", and someone with experience is preferred.
Commenters have expressed their sympathy for the owner, with a few providing suggestions to resolve the situation, such as appealing to the estate's MP.
