Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Adopted 12/7/12!!!
Lana is a sweet young gal who was picked up as a stray. When she first came into our rescue, she was very thin and we can only assume she was on her own for quite a while. This blonde beauty is about 14-18 months old, is good with other dogs, rides well in the car, and is good on a leash. She recently went to her foster home in New England where they have been giving her lots of attention, affection, and nutritious food. Take a look at the joy that overflows from Lana as she plays in her video and read what Lana's foster mom has to say about this pretty girl:
"It's been almost three weeks now since we've been fostering Lana and it has been such a joy. She has met all kinds and ages of people, dogs, and cats and there isn't anyone she hasn't just loved to pieces. She is outgoing, social, and extremely friendly. Although she was a stray, you would think she has lived in a house her whole life, given how nicely mannered she is. We've left her for up to 4 hours by herself and she does fine. She loves to go "bye bye in the car" and does this cute little wiggle and dance whenever I ask her if she'd like to go. She is very playful but settles down nicely when asked to. Her days alternate with play and nap times. Boy, does she love it when the kids get home from school - major play time! To top it off, she's very smart and very sweet and cuddly. I'm recovering from an injury and when I couldn't sleep last night, she kept me company on the couch with her little head resting on my shoulder. She is a good little nurse! Lana could benefit from some basic obedience but it won't take much - she learned "sit" and "come Lana" in less than two days. We find her part-collie herding instincts to be very endearing but her forever family should keep this in mind if there are other dogs in the home (she is gentle but very playful and young). Her forever family should also be prepared for the best of all worlds with this pup - playful but responsive and calm, smart but goofy, and truly a world class cuddler!"
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.
