Adopted 1/25/14!!!
Welcome Cody -- One of the sweetest 7-year old purebred Goldens you can imagine. He was found wandering alone and was brought to a shelter over the holidays by a Good Samaritan. The shelter called Sunshine because Cody appeared to have been in an accident of some kind and he was in need of medical care. Cody's primary injury was to his left front elbow, along with scrapes and a patch of missing fur on his ear, and some teeth missing.
Cody is a dream dog. He is sensitive and smart, and wants so much to please you. He has been spending time in a foster home with two other dogs and gets along with them just fine. He wants to play but is not feeling well enough yet to do that. He walks well on a leash and is good in a car. He learned "sit" and "stay" in no time, and he is very skilled at giving the "Golden nudge" to get more petting. He will be a big Golden when he reaches a healthy weight. He is currently about 65-70 lbs. and is quite thin.
Cody has been neutered, and his bad leg has been x-rayed. It has been determined that Cody needs orthopedic surgery to fully recover from his injury. The best news is that Cody has a true guardian angel! A repeat Sunshine adopter who recently lost her first Sunshine dog would like to bring Cody home immediately so that he can have his surgery and recovery with his new family to help him along. Sometimes timing is everything, and for Cody it means the world - a loving family, and rehabilitation from his injuries in his own forever home. Happy New Year, Cody!!!

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.
