I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other dogs in need. Thank you!
Mickey is 1 of 3 dogs we recently rescued from a hoarding situation. To learn more about the hoarding situation,
please visit our website.
Oh Mickey, you little heart-throb, you! Just look at that face! Mickey has all the features of a Golden Retriever... all except for one - his unique coloring! Mickey wound up with very cool white markings when the DNA went round and round in the mix! We think they make him incredibly unique and very endearing!
Mickey is a shy boy initially, like most dogs who come from hoarding situations. He sits quietly while you pet him and is learning that affection is something he can expect to have from this point forward in his life. When our Lisa took Mickey outside, his tail was wagging and he was hopping around with happiness. He even gave one of the kennel workers kisses all over her face. He's come so far in the few weeks that he has been with our rescue. In time, Mickey will become a wonderful companion and will learn about being treasured.
Mickey LOVES squeaky toys and his favorite one is this spotted stuffy. He will play for hours with his toys - chasing, tossing, pouncing, squeaking, and then doing it all over again! He walks very nicely on the leash, something his shelter advocate worked on with him extensively. When she came to visit him at the vet clinic, Mickey was over the moon to see her and showered her with kisses. Now, all Mickey needs is a person (or two or three) of his own to love.
Mickey is about 12-18 months old and weighs about 70 lbs. He has been neutered, brought up-to-date on vaccinations, and is micro-chipped. He will be headed north to be directly adopted in mid-July.
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.
