Adopted 11/10/14!!!
Goldie is a pretty little 9-year old Golden Mix filled with courage, heart, and hope. After being dumped on a deserted road, she was rescued by Mansfield, CT, Animal Control who arranged for immediate medical attention to save her. Thin and sad, she also had a large mammary tumor that had to be removed. The vet says they are confident they got all of the tumor and the risk for her going forward is no greater than with any other Golden. Goldie was also spayed and brought up to date on her vaccinations. She has a beautiful spirit and is a very happy dog.
Goldie is gentle and sweet with adults and kids and has absolutely no food aggression. She has put on weight, eats well, and is full of energy! Goldie loves her walks and is improving her leash skills. Her one quirk is that she barks like she really means it when strange dogs come near. After a couple meetings she is fine, and she has even made friends with a Pit Bull who became her favorite walking buddy at the shelter! She dislikes cats so we feel she will be happiest as an only pet, or possibly with one easygoing dog.
Goldie is in CT and is waiting for a family to love her for the rest of her days. If you would like to add one sweet dog to your life, please consider Goldie. She has such a loving personality and truly deserves happiness.

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.
