My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

12/20/14 - Adopted Monty!!!

I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other great dogs! Thank you!

Monty is one of a tiny trio of Golden mixes found roaming the woods along the outskirts of Wetumpka, AL. They were picked up by Elmore County Animal Control and held at the shelter. Sadly, no one came looking for the pups, estimated to be about 6 months old. We can only guess their former owner discarded them as one would discard unwanted old clothing.

Monty is the lighter colored male with a bobtail. He is the most out-going of the three pups but still on the shy side. Owen is a red boy who, like his siblings, is learning what affection is all about. Nyla is a timid girl and needs extra TLC. She slipped away from our volunteers when they brought her to the vet’s office but did not run away. Instead, she was going from door to door, seeking out her brothers. Nyla would do well in a home with a self-assured canine sibling who can show her the ropes and help her gain confidence.

The woodland trio gets along well with other dogs and enjoyed playing with the vet’s 10 year old son. Overall, they would do best in quieter homes, without a lot of comings and goings. They have been exposed to cats, and are afraid of them!

All of the pups are up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and have been spayed/neutered. They weight between 38-40 pounds and walk pretty well on leash. They will be ready to travel north to their forever homes on 12/20.

Please Note: Puppies require a great deal of time, attention and patience. We can only consider applications for puppies from folks who are home most of the day.

If you have already been approved for adoption through SGRR, please contact Donna to be considered to adopt Monty.

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.



SGRR Adoption Fees (subject to change)**
Puppies under 6 months $650
Young dogs 6 months - 6 years $550
Young dogs - Special Needs $450
Senior dogs 7 - 9 years $450
Seniors dogs 10 years and older $350
Senior dogs - Special Needs $300
Young Bonded Pairs $850
Senior Bonded Pairs $750

**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.
