Adopted 11/9/13!!!
Nope, your eyes are not playing tricks on you – this sweet girl looks just like a BLACK Golden Retriever. But, we believe Ember is a Flat Coated Retriever and she is just as awesome as can be! She was taken in by Baldwin County Animal Shelter in AL and, as it happens all too often, no one claimed this beautiful girl. Ember is about 2 years old and weighs about 50 pounds. She is an absolute knockout and will win your heart over as soon as you meet her. She is a loving and friendly girl who loves to lean into her person and get as close as can be. She is good with other dogs and enjoys their companionship, but she is not a rough and tumble type of dog. If another dog jumps on Ember to play, she shows no aggression - she simply walks away politely. Ember may not have had much formal training in her past life, but she is now learning commands and just loves to please her humans. She keeps her kennel clean, rides nicely in the car, and does okay on leash. She is an awesome dog who will make a wonderful companion.
Ember is spayed and up-to-date on vaccinations. She is undergoing heartworm treatment presently, but will be ready to GO HOME in early to mid-November. These “black Goldens” are greatly sought after and Ember will not last long. If you would like to find her curled up around your feet after a nice walk, be sure to inquire soon! If you are already approved to adopt through SGRR, please contact the

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.
