Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Adopted 8/25/12!!!
Sunshine's newest senior is a pretty little purebred Golden girl named Rosie who is 7-8 years old. Take a look at Rosie's newest picture and you will see a relaxed, glossy-coated Rosie with a big smile. She was found as a stray in the South and came to SGRR through the animal shelter. No surprise that she tested positive for heartworm. She will need to receive Ivermectin heartworm medicine for a few months, supplied by SGRR.
Her current foster in New Jersey tells us that Rosie is a love!! She is fine on a leash, good in the house, and good in the car. She has a perfect energy level - she enjoys some play time but then enjoys just being near you too. Her Foster Mom tells us, "Rosie has a little happy dance that she does when I come home from work and when we encounter other people on our walks. She is extremely social and walks with her are a lot of fun. She doesn't show much interest in stuffed toys, but she loves having a ball thrown for her. She is so well behaved! She does not climb on furniture and she does not jump. Someone must have loved her and taken care of her at some point because she is well trained. Rosie is a lively little girl with a beautiful spirit. She is just what people think of when they think of the typical Golden--she is very, very sweet."
Rosie gets along well with other dogs but has demonstrated her high prey drive by chasing squirrels. Thus, a cat-free home is needed. She will always need to be leashed or in a fenced yard to keep her safe.
Rosie's Foster Mom loves her and would keep her in a heartbeat - but resident Golden, Daisy, does not share that feeling - so Rosie is waiting for that one thing to make her life complete--a forever home. She is so sweet and has that wonderful Golden personality through and through. Don't miss out!
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.
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.
