I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other dogs in need. Thank you!
This handsome fellow was a hot mess when he was picked up as a stray in Baldwin County, AL. You will see in his photos how his collar was embedded in the tender flesh of his neck. But Kirby, you are safe now with our rescue and nothing bad will ever happen to you again!
Kirby is estimated to be about 9-10 months old and he weighs about 34 lbs, but of course, he is still growing. The shelter listed Kirby as a Goldendoodle, which he very well could be. However, our rescue feels he has a strong resemblance to a Wheaten Terrier. Whatever it is that went into his DNA, it surely produced one amazing boy! Kirby is a favorite among the staff at the vet's office where he is being boarded. He has a huge personality and is the kind of dog who makes you smile from ear to ear! Kirby is amiable with other dogs and has never, ever met a human stranger. He has no history with cats or children, but we expect he would be fine with kids over the age of 10 years. Like the majority of young dogs, Kirby has energy to burn and would make a great walking or jogging partner. He walks pretty nicely on the leash and keeps his kennel clean, a good sign that he is housebroken.
Kirby has been neutered, micro-chipped, and tested negative for heartworm. He will be ready to travel north to meet his new forever family 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.
If you would like to be part of Kirby's rescue story and are already approved to adopt through SGRR, please contact
Donna Toncic to be considered to adopt Kirby. But don‘t wait - a gorgeous dog like this is not going to last long! Kirby wants his travels to end in your arms!

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.
