Adopted 8/31/14!!!
Lucy is a gorgeous Golden Retriever mix that was surrendered to a shelter in the South by her owner, who could no longer care for her. This pretty girl has the infectious smile of a Golden and a big fluffy tail. Her fur is short and sleek and so soft! Lucy has beautiful soulful eyes that appear to be highlighted with eyeliner! This pretty girl walks well on a leash, is good with other dogs, and even seems to not mind cats! Lucy is super sweet and sits on command.
Lucy has spent some time in a loving foster home and her foster mom told us, “She has been to doggie daycare several times and did well. I thought it would tire her out but it energized her! She is young and wants to play. Since going to daycare, she gets in and out of the car on her own and seems to enjoy the ride. Lucy goes into the crate with some coaxing and is quiet while crated. She is a lap dog - a snuggler, and likes having her ears rubbed. She likes to pick up things in her mouth and carry it someplace else. She likes peanut butter sandwiches (which help her put on much needed weight) and she is a good eater. She is a sweetheart and soft and cuddly.”
Wow! What a terrific dog Ms Lucy is!! When you look at your checklist of qualities that you would want in a dog, we bet there are few unchecked boxes here! Lucy is about 1 1/2-2 years old and is finishing up heartworm treatment. She will be ready to travel north to her forever family in early-to-mid August. She is up-to-date on all her vaccinations, is spayed, and micro-chipped.

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.
