Adopted in the South 4/12/12
Charlie was adopted from a southern shelter and was living in a home with two other male dogs and a cat. While he was with this family, Charlie was under heartworm treatment and had been neutered. Also during this time, the family’s elderly dog was dying from cancer. There was a lot going on in a small timeframe and Charlie was not able to assimilate himself into the dynamics of the family’s pack. Since this family is former SGRR adopters, they turned to us to help Charlie find a human only home.
Charlie is about 2-3 years old and is a real show-stopper. He is a big blocky Golden with a big head and massive paws. He is a big love-bug who loves to shower his people with kisses! Charlie is good on the leash and enjoys his walks. He is a huge fan of playing fetch and is almost always seen with a toy in his mouth! Being a young boy, Charlie needs an owner who can provide leadership, adequate exercise, and structure. Because of his size and enthusiasm for life, we will not be placing Charlie in a home with children under the age of ten who might be easily knocked over. Charlie is a sweet golden boy with
all the personality that goes with the breed.
A fenced yard, trips to the park, hiking in the forest – are all on Charlie’s wish list for his new home. Can you make his wishes come true….?

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.
