Here's what the humans have to say about me:
ADOPTED! 9/2011
Logan is a drop-dead gorgeous 5 year old pure bred Golden Retriever. Logan has been living with a canine brother and sister in AL since he was a young fellow. When AL was hit with a deadly tornado this past April, Logans family had to flee their home and leave their pets behind. The familys home was destroyed with the pets inside it but miraculously, the dogs survived the devastation. The dynamics between Logan and his canine brother changed when the dogs were in survival mode and fending for themselves. The two males have been bucking horns and the family feels it is best to find Logan another home.
This gorgeous guy gets along well with his senior canine sister and with other dogs, both male and female. He is OK with dog savvy cats too. Logan is fine with children but could knock over a very small child when he gets excited. Logan is an active boy and loves to swim. He will play fetch with you all day. Logan knows his basic commands and enjoys walks but could use a little work on his leash skills. Like so many rescued dogs, he must be kept leashed at all times when he is not in a fenced area as he has a propensity to take off after critters. He is good in the car and will simply lie down and enjoy the ride.
His previous owner told us that Logan is a sweet and loving dog who can be quite a cuddler. He is very calm and relaxed when he is alone with his humans but gets a bit excited when other dogs are around. A sturdily fenced yard would be a plus, or frequent trips to a fenced dog park where Logan can practice his fetching skills. He needs an owner who will provide him with adequate daily exercise to keep him happy and well-adjusted. Logan has those classic looks that make Golden Retrievers so sought after. This dog will not last long so apply quickly!
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.
