Adopted 2/9/15!!!
I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other great dogs! Thank You!
1/20/15 Update: Everyone at the vet clinic has fallen in love with Abby!! She has a huge Golden heart and is such a calm and gentle soul. Abby is there for her health checkup, and she did great with no signs of allergies on her grain-free food. She is confused and a little depressed, however, because she has never been without her family, and she cannot understand what is happening to her. She will be traveling to a foster home in New England this week. If you would like to meet Abby and/or learn more about her, please don’t wait—she is a treasure.
Abby's Story: Beautiful Abby is a 9-year old "black Golden" mix who is looking for a new home - all because her family is having a new baby. This will be the third child in the family and they feel they will not be able to give sweet Abby the time and attention she deserves once the baby arrives. Abby has always lived with her family and is a delightful companion dog. She is calm and laid back with a nice moderate energy level. And she is so pretty with her white markings! Easy-going Abby gets along well with cats, other dogs, and the young kids in her home.
Abby's allergies are controlled with grain-free food and she is in overall good health. Abby is spayed, up to date on her vaccinations, heartworm negative, micro-chipped, and ready for her new home. If you would like to welcome this pretty girl into your home, please don’t wait to apply. She will be so happy to spend time with her people, go for walks with you, and be a big part of your life.

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.
