I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other great dogs. Thank you!
Hunny is one of the new dogs our rescue took in from the severely flooded areas in Louisiana. She and her sister, Suzette, were penned outside when the humans evacuated. Animal control was alerted to the dogs being left behind and went out in a boat to check on them. The flood waters rose high in that area, but fortunately stopped before it reached the height of the dog house roof. The two girls were found on the roof of the dog house.
Originally the pair belonged to the homeowner's granddaughter who moved to New Orleans and never came back to get the dogs. Now displaced herself, the grandmother relinquished the girls to animal control who then contacted our rescue to take them.
Hunny weighs about 35 pounds and is a bit larger than Suzette. She loves love to be spoken to in a sweet voice and melts when given affection. They have gorgeous, fluffy coats and are about 8-9 months old. Other than their smaller size and ears that are not typically "golden" in style, everything else about them is very golden, just in miniature form!
Both girls are heartworm negative, have now been spayed, were brought up-to-date on vaccinations, and will be micro-chipped. They are both being treated for hookworms at our vet's office in AL and will be cleared to arrive in the north on 9/17 via transport. The girls can be adopted as a pair, or individually as long as there is another dog in the home.

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.
