Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Adopted 8/26/11
My name is Cheyenne and somehow I found myself at a shelter near Birmingham, AL. Oh, what a scary place these shelters are so many dogs barking and carrying on because we just dont understand why we are there. As you can see in my photos, I have a gorgeous long, chocolaty coat that I was very proud of. However, my previous owners did not take very good care of me and my coat became all matted The kind folks at the shelter tried to brush the mats out of my fur but it hurt too much and they found it best to give me this summer hair cut to get rid of the matting. Once my coat grows back in, I will be back to my head-turning self again!
I love to play with other dogs but once you say, Enough, I will settle down. I am good in the car and I even road out of the crate on my way from the shelter to the kind people at SGRR. I love to go for walks and I walk very nicely on my leash. Overall, I am a happy, happy girl who loves to smile and be loved. I am a little hesitant around men so a female only household would be best for me. My dream home would include an active owner who can keep a 2-3 year old gal like me properly exercised. A fenced yard would be terrific too!
So if you love Chocolate (Labs) and you love (Golden) peanut butter, just think of me as a Reeses peanut butter cup and make me part of your world! I am so ready to go home where I will be a cherished family member.
If you can offer Cheyenne a loving home and make her dreams come true, PLEASE APPLY by submitting an application: APPLY ON-LINE TO ADOPT.
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.
