Adopted 5/21/14!!!
Ollie is a happy and bright 1-year-old Golden Retriever/Australian Shepherd mix who somehow ended up lost in Louisiana. He was obviously someone's pet, because he knows his commands. Ollie weighs about 52 pounds and has beautiful dark brown eyes with a little white speck in his right eye - very cute! Ollie loves tummy rubs and we discovered that he has a pampered side, seeking out fluffy pillows to lounge on! He loves to meet new people and is very affectionate when greeting them. Ollie is house trained and likes to sleep in his crate at night, on his back with his legs up in the air!
Ollie is a smart boy and could be trained to do just about anything as he is very eager to please his humans. He is an energetic young dog and must have an owner who can take him for long walks or jogs. His all-time favorite entertainment is playing catch with a tennis ball - or any ball for that matter! Because of his zest for life, Ollie would do best in a home with children age 10+. He loved waiting by the window for his former foster family's boys to come home from school. Ollie loves to play with other dogs but needs monitoring because he can get a little overexcited - he just can't wait to play!
Ollie is staying at a wonderful vet’s office on the South Shore of MA where he was given a comprehensive check up. He is now ready to meet his new family! The vet at the clinic told us, “He is a VERY loving dog and wants to please. We have our dog walker coming to walk him for 2-3 miles every day so he will learn to walk nicely on a leash and get much needed exercise. Ollie needs to be placed with a family that can devote time to exercising him. He is a great little dog!”
Ollie is up to date on his vaccinations, heartworm negative, neutered, and microchipped. Please consider giving Ollie his forever home!

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.
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.

**Please note: The fees listed represent a slight increase and are effective for applications received after June 1 2014. We regret the need to increase the fees for our dogs, but found it necessary due to the increased costs we are faced with for each dog's care and placement.
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.
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.
Please be a ray of light for this Sunshine dog and make a tax deductible donation toward medical and other expenses. Every cent of your generosity goes directly toward the care of a Sunshine dog.
