Adopted 3/21/14!!!
Oscar is 10-12-month-old black Retriever mix whose personality outshines his incredible good looks. It is so difficult to imagine that anyone would discard a dog as sweet as this handsome young man. Yet, a kind family in AL found Oscar roaming around on his own. They tried to find his owners, but no one came forward. In the meantime, they took very good care of him and even had him vetted. Although he is not a purebred Golden Retriever, he was just too sweet to overlook and SGRR welcomed Oscar as one of our “golden-hearted” dogs.
Oscar is good with others dogs and enjoys being with children. He likes to ride in the car, but his favorite activities are giving kisses and being with his humans. He has a moderate energy level for a young dog and, after a good brisk walk or a hike, he settles down nicely in the house with a Nylabone.
Oscar is heartworm negative, neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on his vaccinations. Because of the interest SGRR has had in our “black goldens,” Oscar is fortunate to already have an Adoption Pending.

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.
