Adopted 4/20/14!!!
Lizzie is a gorgeous 9-year old, 63 lb. Golden mix who is in urgent need of a new home. She is loved by her owners, but they are living in rental housing where Lizzie must sleep in the basement and spend much of her day crated in the garage. (Her companion Pizza is with her and will soon be Courtesy Posted on our website. The two dogs are not bonded and can go to separate homes.) Originally a California Girl, Lizzie was rescued by her current owners several years ago in CA. She came with them to CT because of a job change. The family ran into difficulties, and a family that is accustomed to rescuing dogs, must now give them up.
Lizzie has a wonderful temperament and a moderate energy level. We are not sure what she is mixed with, but she sure is pretty! She has a lovely Golden coat with a huge fluffy tail and warm amber eyes. Lizzie's heart is all Golden and she has all the wonderful Golden traits: easy-going, loves adults, sweet and gentle with children, loves giving kisses. She has lived peacefully with a cat, and she likes other dogs as long as they do not at rush her. If that happens she might give a warning with a raised lip, but that is as tough as she gets! Her owner told us that Lizzie is a follower, not a leader. Lizzie loves being outside and has some pent-up energy right now, probably from spending long periods of time alone and crated. Her owner tries to take her to a local dog park to run at least once a day, but that is the extent of her exercise at the moment. Lizzie loves to run and play outside! On a leash she sometimes needs reminding not to pull, but this sweet girl wants only to please, so her leash skills are bound to be refreshed in no time.

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.
