5/14/15 Update from foster mom: Ti is a little name for a special little girl! She had a "rurf" start in life, but is now happy in her foster home with her two canine sister, feline brother, and 3 human siblings. She is starting to shine like the diamond we know she is inside. Ti loves her people...she comes running when called and stops right at your feet. Then looks up at you with her big brown eyes and even bigger ears as if asking, "please love me". And if you leave her alone for even just a few minutes, she greets you with the same exuberance as if you've been gone an hour! Her signature greeting is to hop on her back legs and jump for joy. On occasion she jumps with such glee she leaps a foot off the ground. Come to think of it...maybe "Ti" is short for "Tigger!" But don't let this little bouncy pup fool you, she's got a big girl bark! She doesn't let it out often, but when she does you'll find yourself looking around for a 100 lb beast. She likes to cuddle but Ti's happiest place is curled up on a blanket or doggie bed snoring at your feet. Ti needs a loving home that will fill her heart with love and affection and her belly with kibble.
Ti's Story: Ti is a sweet Retriever mix who is about 20 weeks old. An individual brought Ti to the shelter, saying they found her as a stray in Summerdale, AL. However, when an owner turns in a dog at this shelter, there is no “stray hold” and the shelter can put the dog to sleep immediately. We believe she may have been owned by this person who suddenly realized the responsibilities that having a puppy brings.
Our photographer was smitten with Ti and told us, "Ti was a little shy at coming out of her kennel but, once outside, she was all puppy - lovable, playful, inquisitive and loved to run. She would look at the tech and me at times, as if she wanted reassurance that everything was cool. LOL Then she would be off to explore again. She didn't "gnaw" hands while playing like a lot of puppies do. Very mild-mannered and sweet. Great dog!"
Ti is living with a foster family who will give her a ton of TLC now. She enjoys her humans, which includes a teenaged human sister. This pup gets along with her canine foster sibling and is okay with the cat too. Ti will be spayed and will have all of her puppy vaccinations before she is ready for adoption in mid May. Don't miss out on this cutie-pie with the shiny solid black coat and long legs.

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.
