Adopted together 10/20/13!!!
Foster Dad tells us, "Buddy and Chance are so bonded and so cute together. If one goes into another room, the other gets up and follows. They eat together, they sleep together, and they play nicely together. If one is sleeping on the futon, the other is next to it."
It is taking a while for Buddy and Chance to find their forever home. But knowing how much they love each other, Sunshine just cannot separate them. Buddy is a gentle soul, laid back and calm. Chance is dignified and happy. Both are wonderful dogs who deserve the best! And both are beautiful - their pictures do not do them justice! If you are able to consider two, please do not overlook them simply because Buddy is a Black Lab. They both have Golden Hearts and will be a joy to have in your life.
Bio: This dignified, handsome senior Golden gentleman is 9-year old Chance. He and his Black Lab brother Buddy came to Sunshine to find a home because their human Dad has moved into a nursing home. Chance was found by his family in a parking lot when he was about two years old and has since lived inside with them as a much-loved dog. Chance's pictures are not great, but they are good enough to see that he is gentle and kind. Chance knows lots of things that the youngster dogs do not yet know. He has nice house manners and he is very good with other dogs, cats, and children. Chance absolutely craves human attention and affection. The other thing Chance really loves is swimming!! He is very agile for a 9 year-old boy and jumped right into our volunteer's SUV when she went to pick up this pair. He is at a good weight or 78 pounds for his body type and enjoys taking walks.
Chance and Buddy have been living with their Foster Dad in New England. He wanted to adopt them but feels they would be more happy living with a person or family who is home more often than not. Chance is accustomed to having his people around. When Foster Dad returns from work, Chance is so thrilled to see him, he cries. Thus, he knows Chance and Buddy need a home where they receive the attention they have known. When he is home, the boys play happily together in the fenced yard and also enjoy their walks.

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.
