Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Adopted 7/16/11
Look at this big love of a Golden Retriever named Adonis! He was dropped at a shelter in AL by a man who said he was a stray. Because the shelter was so crowded, Adonis was scheduled to be put down the very next day. SGRR was only too happy to take in this big fellow and we have learned that Adonis is a dream of a dog.
Friendly, affectionate, and good on a leash, Adonis knows some commands, and he is very calm and laid back. He is also heartworm negative (hooray!), but arrived with a bad flea allergy. Adonis has had a flea bath and is getting antibiotics to help clear up his skin. Right now, his fur looks like he's having a bad hair day, but he will be quite striking when his skin and coat recover. He is fine with cats and we will be able to test him with kids right after the July 4th holiday.
This friendly happy boy is about 7 years old and is a treasure. Adonis is ready for his forever home! LetÂs not keep him waiting!
If you can offer Adonis a loving home, PLEASE APPLY by submitting an application via this online link: APPLY ON-LINE TO ADOPT through our rescue. Direct questions regarding an application's status to: SunshineGoldens@gmail.com
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.
