Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Someone loves me and I am going HOME!
GEORGIA Breed: Golden Retriever Mix Gender: Female Age: 3 years Adoption Fee: $450
Georgia is a 3 year old Golden Retriever who was turned in by her owners who just didn’t have time for her. Owning a pet is a lifetime commitment and owners need to realize that pets are not disposable.
SGRR was told that Georgia had been an outside dog but she hasn’t soiled in her kennel so she should take to house-breaking fairly quickly. Georgia is very bright and eager to learn. She is good with other dogs and enjoys car rides. Georgia is curious about cats and will chase them, but she does not harm them. She is an energetic gal and would make a wonderful running or walking buddy. She can get over a short fence so a sturdy, tall fence or invisible fencing would be preferred for her.
Georgia has a glossy coat consisting of the most beautiful hues of gold. In addition to being beautiful, she is a sweet girl and simply wants to be in a home where she is loved and given the attention she deserves. In return, Georgia will provide you with companionship and unconditional love. Unconditional love – isn’t that what we all wish for?
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.
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.
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.
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.
