I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other great dogs. Thank you!
Champ came to our rescue through the good deeds and kindness of many animal lovers. This fine fellow had been seen running around as a stray for about a month. A Good Samaritan was able to corral this sweet boy and Champ was being kept at her place of employment. The boss’ German Shepherd and Champ bucked horns so the Samaritan took Champ home, but kept him tied to a tree in the backyard. Despite “Found Dog” postings, no one came forward to claim this boy, and thus, Champ found his way to our rescue.
Champ is a stunningly beautiful boy who has the kind of face that you could just picture on a box of dog biscuits! But he is more than just a handsome face; he is a wonderful Golden boy who longs to be the center of someone’s world, with a typical “love me” Golden attitude. Champ is estimated to be about 1 year old and is described by Lisa, our lead volunteer in AL, as a big goofy puppy! He is super sweet, but has had little training in his former life. Champ will need some gentle guidance to help him grow into the awesome companion he is meant to be! Champ is a young dog with a healthy energy level. His adopter should be someone who is active and able to provide him with the activity and training that he needs.
Champ rode nicely in the car and was friendly toward the cat at the Good Samaritan’s home. Champ weighs in at around 65 lbs, but is a bit on the thin side at this weight. He has been neutered, brought up-to-date on vaccinations, is heartworm negative and micro-chipped.
If the companion you are hoping to add to your life is one that is affectionate, deeply trusting, happy, and beyond beautiful, then look no further - you've found him!!! Charming Champ wants to find a family to share his life with and who will be the center his world. He wants to find someone that loves him deeply for who he is. Perhaps that will be YOU!

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.
