Background: Blondie is an 8-year old purebred Golden Retriever who was rescued from a shelter in June of 2012. She lived in the South with her Chocolate lab brother Hunter for the past two years, before both dogs needed to be re-homed because their family is being deployed overseas. We first believed the two were bonded so planned to place them together, but we found that both dogs simply adore all other dogs, are not tightly bonded together, and that they have different needs. Therefore, we are looking for separate homes so each can be as happy as can be in their respective forever homes. The family told us that Blondie is the most lovable dog they have ever owned. They said, "She is the most loyal, sweetest dog you'll ever meet. She's never met a stranger and all she wants in life is affection and love. She also loves the water, being brushed, car rides, and just being social around people, being included.” Blondie enjoys walks, running and playing with other dogs, but mostly she enjoys being with her people, right by your side.. She is excellent around kids and even took a liking to the kitty at the groomer's. At her last complete vet visit in October, Blondie weighed 76 lbs and can stand to lose a few pounds. Regular walks should help her slim down nicely!

Blondie is fully vetted, heartworm negative, and spayed. She is in her foster home in New England and ready to meet you.

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.
