Allie has been Found and returned to her owners - Thank you!
REWARD - Recently adopted Allie was lost on 1/6/14 near the Southington, CT Rec Park. PLEASE help find her if you live in the Southington, Ct area. See "Lost" Posters for details.
Thank you!
Adopted 12/17/13!!!
Allie is a 2-3 year old Flat Coat/Golden Retriever mix whose personality outshines her incredible beauty. It is so difficult to imagine that anyone would discard a dog as sweet as this. Yet, Allie found herself in a shelter in AL with a passel of pups. While at the shelter, Allie lovingly cared for her own pups and also nursed another 3 pups at the shelter that were not her own. Although she is not a purebred Golden Retriever, she was just too sweet to leave her at the shelter to “black dog syndrome” fate.
This black beauty has an incredibly nurturing temperament and so much love to give! Allie loves all the people she meets, including children. She gets along nicely with other dogs and loves to play with her canine foster brother! Her foster dad in NH told us, "She and Mack are best buds. They just came in from playing in the snow, they’ll rest for a while and do it all over again!"
Allie is even good with cats! Allie is an active girl and would make a good running or walking buddy for her new owner. Allie is a very social girl, and at her former home, she was a bit of a Houdini and would climb over the fence. Being kept as an inside dog and living among new her family should cure her desire to find friends elsewhere. However, a tall and sturdy fence in her new home or leashed walks is a must for this girl. Allie reminders us that, for their safety, all rescued dogs must be considered flight risks. Allie is an example of why SGRR's Adoption Contract requires that all dogs be leashed in un-fenced areas. Rescue dogs are treasures and it is up to us to protect them.
Allie weighs about 60 pounds, is spayed, heartworm negative, and is up-to-date on her vaccinations. Allie is the “black dog lover’s dream” in so many ways - check out her video and see her in action. Allie is being fostered in NH and is ready for her forever home. All she needs for her dreams to come true is to be able to go HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS!

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.
