ADOPTION PENDING!
Beautiful, sweet senior Chloe is a purebred Golden Retriever who was relinquished to a Southern shelter by her owner. We cannot imagine why! At the estimated age of 7-8, she is one of the sweetest Goldens we have had in our rescue. Chloe loves all creatures - dogs, cats, grown-ups and kids. She is happy and affectionate and leans right into you for snuggles. She has nice house manners and no bad behaviors. She loves the car, and enjoys carrying things in her mouth in true Golden fashion - except for one thing: no one told her Retrievers are supposed to retrieve. She prefers to carry a ball around rather than retrieve one. She pulls a little bit on a leash and can be greedy grabbing a treat from her foster mom’s hand, but basically, Chloe is a dream dog!
Chloe is spayed, and updated on her vaccinations. A family in New England will be welcoming Chloe into their home in late January, after patiently waiting for her to complete heartworm treatment. Chloe has been in foster care for several weeks as she completed heartworm treatment. Her new family cannot wait to meet her. We thank everyone who contributes to Sunshine to help dogs like Chloe who require several weeks, or sometimes months, of care before they can travel to their forever homes.

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.
