Adopted 10/26/13!!!
Update from Jules' Foster Mom: "Whoever gets this little doll is getting such a treasure! She is a social butterfly who thinks she MUST know everyone. She goes from person to person and dog to dog greeting all happily, and loving all the pets she can get. Her fur is like silk, her big brown eyes sparkle, and she prances like a princess. Don't overlook Jules because she is a senior. She doesn't know that! She acts young and she is so charming, she will make all your days brighter!"
Update from Jules: I passed the kitty test!! I am much too interested in people to pay much attention to those furry things. AND, I am now living with my Foster family which includes a puppy and a grown-up dog, and we all get along fine. I love to play and even get the young pup going. My Foster Mom says she doesn't know how she got so lucky, that I am just the sweetest thing. (Makes me blush!) She hasn't had to correct me for anything and I sleep next to her bed all night. I am very happy to be on a leash and don't pull at all. I take treats from her gently like a lady, and I am a dainty eater. I love being petted and I know how to do "the Golden nudge."
The doctor's report about me was good, too! I have a lump on one side and it was tested. It is just one of those fatty lumps that dogs get sometimes. My teeth are cleaned and beautiful. I am very proud to say I am about 50 lbs., and except for a bit of arthritis I am in fine shape. A home without lots of stairs would suit me best.
I hope you have been thinking about me, and that this new information will help you decide to love me and ask to give me the best forever home ever!
Original Bio: Hi Everyone! My owner asked her daughter to take me to the shelter in Louisiana because she didn't have the heart to do it. I don't think she had a heart at all.
Even though I am a pretty and gentle purebred Golden and a really good girl, I heard people saying a 10 year-old girl like me didn't stand a chance in a kill shelter. But someone called Sunshine and they rushed to get me! My transporter says I loved riding in the car. She also said that I am beautiful and you can see that I have a knock-out smile. I like other dogs and I am going to meet some kitties to see how I behave with them. I'll let you know.
I will be at the vet for a couple days getting my teeth cleaned and my health check up. I already know that I am spayed and heartworm negative. While I am getting ready for my new home, I hope you will think about me - and if you think you could love me forever, please apply for me, Miss Jules.

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.
