Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Jezzabell - Adopted (south) !
Jezzabell is a 3-4 month old black and tan female Hovawart. Because Golden-colored Hovawarts closely resemble Golden Retrievers, SGRR was called to help with this rescue. Jezzabell was among a litter of 3 puppies that was found by an animal cruelty team along with 12 other puppies (6 Pomeranians) in an abandoned house. No other humans or adult animals were found. Based on knowledge of that area and the look and mix of the litter, we believe there is a high probability the pups are Hovawarts. Jezzebell and her blonde sisters were taken into rescue custody from a high kill shelter on the day they were scheduled for euthanasia. Two of the three puppies were adopted out and Jezzabell remains available.
The ideal Hovawart owner is someone who is willing and able to invest the time and effort to properly train a Hovawart. He/She should be someone who wants a loyal companion and who is willing to participate in activities with their dog. Additionally, they should be physically capable of owning a strong, large dog. A home with a large fenced yard is preferable, but exercises such as power-walking, hiking, trips to a dog park, etc. can make up for an unfenced yard area.
Jezzebell is now in very good foster care with a vet tech for SGRR in AL. She is happy, spunky, wants to be held, and wants interaction - all fabulous signs from a puppy that was abandoned and left to die. Jezzebell is sure to be a very popular rescued pup - she is good with other dogs and super smart. She has such a desire to live and to be loved – now all she needs is a chance at a real life! 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.
