Here's what the humans have to say about me:
ADOPTED 12/17/11!
Logan is surely one of those dogs that we wish could talk and tell us his story to let us know how he wound up at the shelter in Wetumpka, AL. Although Logan was held at the shelter so his owners could come and claim him, no one showed up. The staff at the shelter cared lovingly for this 3 year old boy, gave him some proper nutrition, and called SGRR to help him find a forever home. When you look at Logan’s photos, your heart cannot help but ache when you see how terribly skinny this boy is. Who knows how long Logan was fending for himself but from the looks of him, we guess wasn’t a very good forager and would prefer to be a kept man!
Logan’s former owner did not keep him on heartworm preventatives so he will need to take Ivermectin and follow a simple and effective regime of slow kill treatment for the heartworms. Our southern vet is very knowledgeable with regard to this treatment method and would be happy to talk with any approved applicant who is interested in adopting this sweet fellow.
Logan is a real nice dog and has only one item on his list to Santa – that is to be loved forever. Once Logan has put some needed weight on his frame, he will be neutered and then be ready to travel north to head home! Wouldn’t it be a dream come true to really be “home for the holidays!”
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.
