I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other great dogs. Thanks you!
11/15/15 Update: Brandy has settled in nicely with a loving foster family in the south. She has been enjoying snuggles on the couch with her foster mommy where she contently lays her head on Cheryl's lap and snores. She is a super sweet and wonderful dog! Brandy gets along great with resident dogs Mae and Rose. Foster Cheryl says Brandy is such a good girl! She is fully house broken, and she can be left alone in the house with no problems. She is wonderful in the car, walks nicely on a leash, and comes right over when called. Brandy does not jump, dig or climb, and she does not counter surf. She loves her food and is quite the chow hound—but she minds her manners and takes treats nicely from your hand. Sweet Brandy wants to stay with her human and be included, and we would love for golden-hearted Brandy’s wish for a loving home to come true soon. Be sure to take a look at her video! https://youtu.be/FoCuybM-jxo
Brandy's Story: Brandy was found as a stray in Alabama in mid-August. The shelter said she looked like she was recently clipped and was someone's pet, but sadly, no one ever came looking for her. She is about 8 years old and we believe she may be a Golden Doodle. She is just so cute and resembles a chocolate lamb! You can see how soft her beautiful, sable-brown coat is as her fur grows back. She is going to be stunning and she is just as pretty inside!!
Brandy is a sweet and easy-going dog who gets along very nicely with other dogs and has a moderate energy level. She is affectionate and fun to be with! We expect she would do fine with children over 8. She has no known history with cats and therefore, we feel it best that she go to a cat-free home.
After noticing Brandy was holding up her hind leg, the vet's office in AL ran a thyroid test which revealed that Brandy has mild hypothyroidism. This is not uncommon in older dogs and is easily treated with an inexpensive medication that she will need daily. Since starting her medication, Brandy is feeling better and her coat is looking more shiny and healthy, too. Brandy has completed her heartworm treatment, is up-to-date on her vaccinations, is spayed, and micro-chipped.

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.
