I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other great dogs. Thank you!
Divorce is a painful process, and not just for people -- it can negatively affect a dog as well. Sweet Selina was turned in to our rescue by her owner after her family went through a divorce. As a police officer, working 16 hour days, he did not have adequate time to spend with his beloved pal. He had been leaving her out in the yard all day, with his nephew coming over after school to play with her daily. One day, the nephew left the gate open and Selina got out and got bumped by a car. Fortunately, she had no injuries but her dad realized he needed to find a better situation for her. Selina is good with other dogs and grew up with kids. She weighs about 60 lbs. and had her 6th birthday in December. This girl has a ton of energy and loves to fetch. We will be seeking an active home for Selina where her humans are home most of the day with her.
Selina's previous foster family in AL shared, “Selina is absolutely gorgeous. She is deep red and is so pretty. She is very sweet and loves attention. If you’re only petting her with one hand, she nudges at the other hand so she has both hands petting her. She loves all people but is especially attached to her foster dad and is drawn toward men. Because she can't do much while under heartworm treatment, we can't do a whole lot of playing, but she does like tennis balls. She would really love to play fetch and she does like other toys as well. She knows the commands "sit" and "lay down," but may have to be coaxed a little to do them; I think because she is excited, but boy, is she is a smart girl! She does tend to pull on the leash so she may need a little more work there. Selina has had no accidents in the house - we keep her confined to a room while we are gone and she does well. The only thing she has chewed on is her own blanket, and it was just a little bit."
Selina has been spayed, brought up-to-date on vaccinations, and is micro-chipped. She has just completed her treatment for heartworm and is now with a foster family in MA!

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.
