Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Adopted 1/6/12
Lucky is a handsome 5 year old male golden with boundless vitality and spirit! He is a gorgeous dark amber color, with a poster boy smile. Sadly, Lucky’s parents have fallen on some hard times and have to move out of state. Their new residence will not allow large dogs, so they are eager to find Lucky a loving, forever home. He is a healthy, energetic dog who loves to chase a tennis ball. Lucky lives with a small terrier and has shown to be a buddy with any dog he meets at the dog park. Unfortunately, Lucky’s family has not had time to work with him on leash manners. He has had to spend long periods of time in the basement while his family works, which has been tough on a guy who loves to run and play. But, with some consistent training, Lucky is sure to catch on to proper behavior on a leash and learn to restrain himself from jumping up when he greets people. He is just so friendly that can’t help himself! Lucky is the first to come to the front door to greet, but also the first to the refrigerator door, so caution should be made to manage his “slightly” large middle! Lucky is a pleaser and tires hard with basic commands like sit, down, come and “sort of”” stay – all hard for a boy who wants to play! Why not bring a little “Luck” into your home and give this great guy the loving home he deserves? Don’t wait as he will go fast!!

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.
Be a ray of light for this Sunshine dog - make a tax deductible donation toward medical and other expenses. Every cent of your generosity goes directly toward the care of a Sunshine dog.
