Adopted 7/20/13!!!
PuttPutt is a six-year old, calm, and gorgeous Golden/Labbie mix who was brought to a shelter in AL with three other dogs when her owners could no longer care for her. She is one of the sweetest dogs you can imagine – you can see the sweetness in her face! And if you think she looks pretty in her picture, in person she is even more beautiful. She looks like a Goldie with Labbie ears, and she is quite slim. In fact, she needs to put on weight to reach 60 lbs.
PuttPutt gets along perfectly with both dogs and cats. She is spayed, and housetrained. She walks nicely on a leash and is fine in the car. PuttPutt is very calm, laid back, and super affectionate. She was giving our SGRR volunteer kisses on the way to our vet clinic.
When she came to Sunshine she needed to be carried through doorways because she was so scared, and we realized she had been living outdoors. Her fear of doorways is now behind her and she will be staying with a loving foster as she goes through heartworm treatment. No surprise this was needed, since she lived outdoors and was not given any heartworm preventative.
Watching her, it appears she may have been born with one leg that is not "conformed" correctly. This may mean she will need anti-inflammatories occasionally, although she doesn't seem to need anything right now. You can just see visually that one leg is a little different.
With her wonderful temperament, PuttPutt is as beautiful inside as she is outside. She just needs a home where she will receive the love and comfort she so deserves. She is so ready to love you back tenfold!

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.
