Adopted 10/26/13!!!
Foster Mom Update: "This beautiful, soft, sweet, petite, gentle girl definitely lives up to her name… she is an angel! She is also the Velcro girl as described by her previous foster mom…she loves to be with her people. She also likes the cushy places to sit and lay…she’s a very smart, loving, mild-mannered, well-behaved young lady!"
Angel's Bio: Sweet little Angel was found roaming around the west side of Pensacola, FL. Try as they might, the local rescue could not find her owners - so this little cherub is now in need of a loving home. Angel is a Golden mix and is guesstimated to be between 2-3 years old. She weighs about 42 pounds and has a beautiful, fluffy, champagne-colored coat. When our volunteer took Angel to the vet’s office, she sat on Cheryl’s lap while Cheryl scratched Angel’s ears and petted her. Very contented, this little doll fell asleep on her lap.
At her foster’s home, Angel follows Cheryl around – a definite Velcro dog! Angel quickly found the two dog beds in the foster home. She rolled around on one bed and then she rolled on the other bed as if to say, “Yeah something soft to lay on!” Angel gets along fine with the two senior dogs in her foster home and rides nicely in the car. She shows no food aggression and her foster parents can take food from her mouth.
Angel is spayed and up-to-date on her vaccinations. She is now staying at a vet's office in AL while undergoing the early phases of heartworm treatment. She will be ready to go to her forever home in late October.

SGRR NOTE: Prior to coming to SGRR, a workman left a door open in Angel’s former foster home and Angel went missing for a week. This is a reminder that, for their safety, all rescue dogs must be considered flight risks. Angel is an example of why SGRR's Adoption Contract requires that all dogs be leashed in unfenced areas. Rescue dogs are treasures and it is up to us to protect them.

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.
