I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other dogs in need of a loving home. Thank you!
Winnie is a 10-12 month old pup who was found by a Good Samaritan in AL. The woman tried to place Winnie on her own but realized it was better to go through a reputable rescue group to find Winnie her forever home. Winnie was placed with a wonderful family in the northeast in what we hoped was her forever home. However, she and one of the resident dogs cannot seem to see eye-to-eye so the family felt it best if Winnie found a home that is better suited for her. Winnie plays nicely with the other resident dog and with other dogs she meets on outings.
The family tells us, "Winnie is very sweet and energetic and loves almost everything! She has pretty good house manners and is fairly well house-broken. She sleeps in our bedroom on a dog bed or on the rug. She is a very good sleeper, sleeps through the night with no problem. We are working on her leash skills and she is coming along. Winnie knows how to sit and how to give her paw and we are working on stay, which she does pretty well now. Since she is still in the puppy phase we crate her when she is alone and she doesn't mind going in the crate."
"Winnie has an adorable way of cocking her head when listening to you talk. She is very affectionate, smart, and eager to learn. She loves to play fetch and tug and never seems to tire out. She is such a sweet pup who loves having her chin scratched!"
Winnie has been spayed, micro-chipped, is heartworm negative and and up-to-date on her vaccinations. She weighs around 45 lbs and is likely to be about 55 lbs when fully grown. She is good with other dogs and was good with the cat in her foster home in AL. We expect she would be fine with older children. Winnie is likely a Golden Retriever mixed with something like a Pooh Bear!! (haha!)
Rescued dogs come with a range of needs - from behavioral to emotional to medical. When approved applicants adopt such dogs, they agree to continue the rehabilitation we have begun.

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.
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.

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.
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.
Please be a ray of light for this Sunshine dog and make a tax deductible donation toward medical and other expenses. Every cent of your generosity goes directly toward the care of a Sunshine dog.
