Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Shadow was adopted 7/2/11!
Expect to be stopped and asked What kind of dog is that?!? should you be Shadows lucky adopter! This fellow is a real show-stopper! His coat is the color of scrumptious chocolate and has all the other qualities of the coat of a glorious Golden! Shadows foster mom told us, He is the most beautiful looking dog I have seen in some time. Strangers actually comment when I walk him!
Shadow is about 1 ½ years old and is about 55 pounds. He loves other dogs and plays beautifully with them. He loves children and people and just wants to be where ever his humans are. He is very affectionate and loves to give kisses. Shadow knows some basic commands and is perfecting his house training. He does not counter surf, jump up on furniture, or need to be crated. He is OK on the leash but gets a little excited when he sees another dog, but is fairly easily corrected. He has met a friends kitty and was very excited by the cat. He seemed to want to play with it but was a bit too exuberant for the cats liking. Shadow enjoys riding in the car but caution needs to be taken that the window is not open too much! He is a little apprehensive of noises like the blow dryer or vacuum.
Shadow is a young, active fellow and would be a great running or walking partner. He needs someone who has the time, skill and patience to bring out his full potential. He has a ton of love to give and will make an extremely loyal and adoring pet. Shadow is eager to go home where he will be a cherished member of a family.
If you can offer Shadow a loving home, PLEASE APPLY by submitting an application via this online link: APPLY ON-LINE TO ADOPT through our rescue.
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.
