Lindsey and two siblings were turned into a shelter in AL along with their mother, Honey, by their former owner who could no longer care for them. What a rough way for young pups to begin their lives! Lindsey is estimated to be about 4 months old and weighs about 19 lbs. She is believed to be a Golden Retriever mix. Lindsey is a ball-girl and loves playing with a tennis ball! When our photographer took their pictures, she was bubbling over with PUPPY LOVE! She told us, "The pups are nothing but adorable! So playful and ALL puppy! I could have watched them play and roll around in the grass for hours. I wanted to hold and cuddle them! They did great posing for pictures!"
Lindsey is now with a wonderful foster family in North Jersey and is learning about living inside a home and about being a cherished companion. The foster family shared, "Lindsay is slowly adjusting to being inside a house, but is still shy about leaving her crate and unsure around our dog Buddha when inside. Lindsay seems to be completely house-trained. Not only does she "hold it," but when we take her out she goes right to her spot and does her business before playing. She will sleep in her crate overnight for 8 hours or so with no whining and no accidents. She is doing very well on leash and has had a couple of very long walks. Lindsay is still shy and it looks like she will stay that way. She was friendly with people in the vet's office, but they had to approach and initiate interaction. She was nervous when the lobby became a little loud and we feel she will do best in a quiet house." Lindsey enjoyed playing with her siblings, but she has been feeling a bit unsure about the resident dog in her foster home. She might do best as an only dog but got along okay with the dog savvy cats at the vet's office.
We do not totally know what went into her DNA, but we do know that this pretty girl deserve loving home! Lindsey will make any adopter, from a single person to a family with kids, a wonderful pet. And just look at how pretty Lindsey poses for the camera too! She is up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed, and heartworm negative.
Please Note: 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.
