Adopted 2/21/14!!!
Boo is an incredibly majestic black retriever mix who was turned into an Alabama shelter by his owner “just because.” Boo was ready to serve in his God-given role as man’s best friend, but his former owner never allowed him that opportunity. Boo was kept as an outside dog, more like livestock than a beloved friend. SGRR has vowed to find this 4-year-old boy a home where he will know nothing but love; where he will be a cherished companion. As stunning as he is, Boo is more than just a handsome face - he has a wonderful personality and is very smart. Boo is good with other dogs and was even trying to make friends with the dog in the nearby kennel when his pictures were being taken. He loves everyone he meets and he adores children. He wants nothing more than to be part of a loving family.
Boo would be happy to start the day with an early morning walk to drink in all the wonderful scents that dogs like to sniff. With the energy level of a young dog, he would be a delightful walking or jogging buddy. He loves to be petted, and with his sleek and lustrous black coat and a gorgeous plume of a tail, you will never want to stop petting him. Not much training came Boo’s way in his former life, but he aims to please and will transition into his new home easily.
Boo weighs in at 63 pounds, is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and micro-chipped. He is presently in AL undergoing heartworm treatment and will be ready to travel north to his forever home in late February.

About Our Rescue
Before being approved to adopt, all potential adopters need to complete our online application and participate in our pre-adoption review process. The process includes the completion of an online application, a reference from the applicants' vet, a phone interview, and a visit to the applicants' home. The application process helps us determine what type of Golden would be best suited for the applicants' life style. In some cases, the specific dog you are interested in may have found a home before this process is complete or further assessment may find that this dog is not the right match for your family. We are regularly getting new Goldens in need of a home, so we encourage you to apply and get approved so that when the right dog comes along you will be ready.
A contract is signed the day of adoption. Under the terms of the contract, all adopters are required to bring the rescue to a vet within 7 business days. The dogs receive basic veterinary care prior to adoption. If your vet identifies an illness that an adopter is not willing to treat, then the dog is returned and a full refund is provided.
The information provided on each dog is based on observations of our vets, volunteers, fosters and when available, trainers. While we do our best to report any and all issues, SGRR does not make any guarantees as to the health or temperament of any dog. Dogs evolve differently in different environments and we cannot predict with any certainty how the dog you adopt will act in your home.
Many of our dogs are fostered in private homes and we do not have a facility to visit. We are committed to our dogs before, during, and after adoption! The rescue retains title to the dog and can never be released or sold. Should the adopters no longer be able to keep the dog, SGRR must be notified so that we can take the dog back into rescue and place it into another home. We reserve the right to remove a dog at any time should we find the adopter is no longer caring for their Golden in a way we see fit. Adopters then have to agree to follow up visits as needed.
