Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Adopted! 6/23/12
UPDATE FROM PANDORA’S FOSTER MOM:
Pandora is here and very sweet. She has a wonderful temperament and gets along with my dogs and cats. She looks like a miniature GR/Lab at about 43 pounds. She has a beautiful red color with eyes that look like the same color and look like they have eyeliner on them. I haven’t had a chance to take her into any stores to meet people but from what I can tell she will get along with new people and kids. She rides great in the car and does need to gain a few pounds.
She is not crated during the day until I go to work for a few hours on the weekend. Other than that she is out and no trouble. I am still working on leash walking. She may not have had too many chances to go for walks but we are still working on that. I think she would do better is a more active home with a young dog that she can play with or kids.
Pandora is a beautiful Golden/Lab Retriever mix who is about 2 years old. She has the shorter hair of a Lab, but she has the heart of a Golden through and through. She is good with other dogs and very affectionate with all the humans she meets. Pandora is going to be fostered in a loving home in lower ME with a resident Golden Retriever and a special-needs yellow lab/golden mix foster dog. Pandy’s foster mom also has 3 cats so she will learn to get along with cats too.
Like the majority of young dogs, Pandora will need an active owner to provide her with adequate exercise. She needs someone to be her pack leader and establish a consistent routine. But mostly, Pandora needs a place to lay her head at night and know she will be loved forever. Apply soon – this golden-hearted beauty will not last!
PLEASE APPLY by submitting an application via this online link: APPLY ON-LINE TO ADOPT through 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.
