I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other great dogs. Thank you!
Tiana is a sweet Golden Retriever-Australian Shepherd mix who is about 13 weeks old. She was advertised on Craigslist and our SGRR volunteers sprang into action to rescue her. The sellers allowed the release of this pup without any background check, reference, or home visit. Anyone could have walked in and bought her (and many other puppies). Thankfully, Tiana is in good hands now as she awaits her forever home.
Tiana is living with a foster family in CT who will now give her a ton of TLC. Her foster mom told us, "Tiana is such a good little puppy!! She loves to run and play and explore, then calms down and snuggles, loving to be held and petted. She has already shown us how smart she is, recognizing her name and giving signals that she needs to go potty. She met a 12-year old boy and absolutely adored him! He took her for a leashed walk and she trotted along with him proud and happy. Tiana enjoys stuffed toys, and most of all she loves, loves, loves other dogs…to climb on, sleep with, and learn from." Tiana is learning that the world can be a happy place for a treasured dog. She is ready for a family to call her own, who will help her grow to her full potential, and show her just how wonderful a dog’s world can be.
Tiana has all of her puppy vaccinations and will need to be spayed when she is about 6 months old. This little princess is a doll with her shiny black coat with white and tan markings!
Puppies require a great deal of time, attention and patience. We can only consider applications from folks who are home most of the day.

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.
