My story

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

ADOPTED 5/2011

Maggie is a gorgeous, easy-going 8 year old Golden Retriever with Marilyn Monroe tresses! She absolutely loves all people, including children. This affectionate and happy Golden girl must have been much loved in her former life, since she is so well behaved. She is trustworthy in the house and does not need to be crated. One of her favorite activities is to busily gather her toys around her. It is adorable to watch her so this! Maggie is a dream to walk on a leash -- she just wants to be with her people and go for some laid back walks to do her socializing. Check out her pretty smile in her pictures....it reflects her joyful disposition!

We are puzzled about how she wound up as a stray, with no one looking for her. Maggie was recently spayed and treated for heartworm; she is healthy and ready to find her forever family.
Maggie is being fostered by a vet and her staff in New England. While at the clinic, she spends her days up front with the staff and her toys, greeting people as they come in. But the dogs and cats don't interest her--just the people. Maggie wants all the attention and doesn't care for most other dogs, so the vet and her staff feel Maggie would do best as an only dog. At this point in her life, Maggie deserves the attention she craves and she is so affectionate in return!

Maggie does not require visits to dog parks, doggie day care, or long hikes. She just wants a stable home with people to love her and no other pets to compete with. If you would be happy with one AWESOME dog, then ask for Maggie on your application.

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.

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.
