10/27/14 - Being adopted through MAGRR
Webster and Keltie were adopted in 2009 from one of our rescue affiliates, MAGRR. They have been loved and doted upon, but unfortunately their adopter has had a life change and cannot keep them. This has been a very difficult decision for him and he has taken good care of them. They have been together all of this time and living in New Hampshire. MAGRR has asked SGRR to help with their placement in the north.
Webster is a 100% traditional Golden Retriever. He’s a big old boy who loves his food and treats and would benefit from more exercise than he has been getting. He loves to go for walks and will stay right by your side. He loves to ride in the car and also in the boat where he swims. He has also enjoyed the snow in the NH winters. Webster will chase a tossed tennis ball and bring it back until he tires and then will stop about half way and lay down. He is very affectionate, and gets along with who ever will pet him and pay attention to him. He has met young children and does very well. He is just a typical golden love bug.
Keltie came to MAGRR originally from living on the streets. She was very underweight, but after a few months in her home she was pronounced healthy by the vet. She is very fast and often chases chipmunks and squirrels. She loves to swim and play with her rescue-mate Webster. She can be protective of her treats and food with another dog but that is probably due to her life on the streets where she had been starved. She is affectionately known as “Keltie the Cuddler”. She is a little shy when first meeting strangers but after a few pats, she will crawl up next to anyone on the couch and lay her head down hoping for a belly rub. She is just a wonderful girl.
Webster & Keltie are fully vetted, heartworm negative, neutered & spayed, and micro-chipped. They are like a married couple and need to stay together. SGRR will act as adoption liaison for MAGRR for Webster & Keltie's placement.

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.
