Adopted 11/15/14!!!
I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other great dogs. Thank you.
Jackson's original family could no longer keep him because his dad was being transferred to a military base that did not allow dogs. We agreed to take 4-year-old Jackson and find him a new forever home and we are thrilled to have Jackson in our rescue!!
Jackson came in with his fur severely matted and this sweet boy is skin and bones, weighing only 38 pounds. Jackson is now with a foster family in the south who has fostered over 100 dogs for our rescue. They will give him all the TLC he needs and will fatten him up a bit. Cheryl reported that Jackson is good with her dog and with Regis, who she is also fostering, and who photo-bombed Jackson's photo session! The older dogs really want no part of Jackson's playful antics, but he would do well with a canine companion in his new home. He has not had one accident in her home and takes care of "business" as soon as he goes out. He needs some work on the leash but does ride okay in the car. Jackson is an active boy and would make a good running or walking buddy for his new owner. Jackson is unsure of where he is and will try to bolt if not securely leashed. He reminds us that, for their safety, all rescued dogs must be considered flight risks. Jackson is an example of why our Adoption Contract requires that all dogs be leashed in un-fenced areas. Rescue dogs are treasures and it is up to us to protect them.
Jackson has an adorable expression, the cutest perky ears imaginable, and the silkiest feeling fur ever. He enjoys getting up on the couch for a good cuddle with his humans and loves having his belly rubbed. He sleeps quietly through the night in his crate. Jackson is up-to-date on his vaccinations, heartworm negative, micro-chipped, and neutered. He will be ready to travel north to his forever family in early-to-mid November. He is a sweet boy and just an overall nice dog!

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.
