Adopted with Ginger!!! 3/17/12
If you understand and love seniors, here is a wonderful pair in need. Two more victims of the economy, this sweet pair of purebred Goldens needs an angel to come forward to give them a safe and loving forever home together. Their owner is heartbroken to give them up, but she is losing her home and has only a short time to place them. SGRR just had to help! We would like to place this pair together, if possible, but will consider splitting them up in the right situation.
Ginger is the little sister, at 9 years old and about 65 lbs. She is quite shy, passive and such a good girl. She will need time to warm up to new surroundings, and seeing her makes you want to reach out and make her feel secure. It seems Ginger has been let out to go potty, but never went for leash walks. She pulls on a leash and has never learned that walks can be fun. A solid routine and training, as well as good-quality food, will help this pretty girl look and feel better about herself. She has a heart murmur and some hip dysplasia, but she gets along fine. Ginger deserves to blossom into a happier Golden gal.
Max, at 12, is a spunky, happy-go-lucky, smiling, and affectionate big-boned Golden boy. Max is just a real love-bug. This gentle, sweet dog followed our evaluator everywhere. He enjoys being petted and soaks up attention. He has the same old-age things as humans - some aches and lumps, a heart murmur, and cataracts. Like his best friend Ginger, his fur is dry but that is easily remedied with good food, brushing, and TLC.
Ginger and Max are in CT with their owner - please ask to meet them. If you do, we know you will want to open your heart and home to them.

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.
