I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other great dogs. Thank you!
Stunning Sage and her buddy, Basil, were left tied to a tree in Mobile County, AL. Perhaps their former owner thought they were doing a good thing and keeping the dogs safe from running into traffic by tethering them this way. Still, it is difficult for us to understand the mindset that lead to such abandonment.
Sage is a happy go lucky girl that loves life! She is easily pleased and is a very social girl. She thrives on walks and is good on the leash. She likes other dogs that will play with her or she would do fine as the only dog as well. We believe she is house trained because she keeps her kennel nice and clean! Sage has turned out to be a total love bug. She is being treated for a skin condition and it won't be long until she has a beautiful coat again. She will make a family or individual the most wonderful dog! She loves to be the center of attention and is extremely smart, learning very quickly. She is everybody's darling at the vet's office!
Sage is estimated to be about 4 years old and weighs in at about 60 lbs. This Labby lady has been spayed, brought up-to-date on vaccinations, and micro-chipped. She is heartworm negative and will be ready to come north on 7/15/17 to be directly adopted. We promised this baby she would never be a stray ever again. Won't you welcome Sage into your world and give her a loving forever 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.
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.
