Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Adopted 4/23/11
Honey Bun was found at a high killer shelter in Ouchita Parish, LA with a little Doxie pal who has since been adopted. How she wound up at this shelter is beyond our comprehension as she is as sweet as can be! Hence, she was named “Honey Bun!” When Honey Bun was first taken into our rescue she had to be treated for heartworm infestation. This potentially fatal disease is so easily avoidable if only all dog owners would give their dogs heartworm preventives and have them tested annually. Thankfully, Honey Bun withstood the harshness of the eradication process and is ready for her forever home. She is being fostered in Central Jersey by a loving foster family who are helping to prepare her for her new life.
The foster family reports that this sweet little 1 ½ year old muffin has the most wonderful disposition. She has a medium activity level, is totally house-trained, and rides very nicely in the care. She is gentle with children and enjoys playing with other dogs. She shares her toys and Honey Bun does not pull or tug when she is walked, and she relishes her walks and her runs. Since she is a young dog, her ideal adopter will be one who can provide her with the proper exercise needed for a dog her age. We also recommend Nylabones as appropriate items for chewing for younger dog (and dogs of all ages). Honey Bun is described by her fosters as an overall GREAT GIRL. Be sure you don’t miss out on this delicious treat of a dog!
Young dogs require a great deal of time, attention and patience. We can only consider applications for puppies from folks who are home most of the day.
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.
