I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other great dogs. Thank you!
Fabulous Floyd somehow found his way to the Mobile County Shelter in AL when he was picked up as a stray. It is very obvious that his handsome boy was once someone’s pet, but no one came to claim Floyd at the shelter. When picked up by Animal Control, he had already been neutered, tested negative for heartworm, is good on a leash, and knows several commands. Such a nice boy! When you hold a treat up for Floyd, he will sit politely and wait for it to be given to him!
We estimate Floyd to be about 3 years-old and we believe he is a pure bred Lab, but could be a Golden/Lab mix. He weighs about 75 lbs and is a very handsome fella! Floyd is a happy-go-lucky kind of dog who doesn’t discriminate – he loves everybody he meets! He would like a home with another dog, if possible, but mostly Floyd would like his humans to be home more often than not. Like every young, active dog, Floyd will need an adopter who can devote time to him, with regular walks and play time. He has a soft heart, loves his humans, and is very family-oriented. Floyd is your classic LL Bean type of dog. If you are looking for a buddy to spend you days and nights with, Floyd will gladly oblige. If a hike in the mountains is in your plans, he'll be right at your side. Or, if a day at the beach is more your style (and it ever gets warm again!), he's up for that too! Lazy days at home at fine for Floyd as well, just as long as he is by your side!
Floyd has been brought up-to-date on his vaccinations and is now micro-chipped. He will be arriving in the northeast in late April to be directly adopted. He has a wonderfully kind spirit and will make a great companion! This is a magnificent dog! If you would like to be considered to adopt this lover-boy, and have already been approved for adoption through SGRR, please contact
Donna to be considered to adopt Floyd.

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.
