I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other dogs in need. Thank you!
This sweet mini-Golden mix was picked up as a stray in Baldwin County, AL. The shelter staff was sure his owners would come for him since he is just the sweetest boy you could imagine. Surprisingly, Bud went unclaimed, but he is now ready for his new home!
With the looks of a purebred Golden Retriever, Bud is smaller in size weighing around 36 lbs. He could use a few more groceries in his tummy and would do well at around 45 lbs. What he may lack in the proportion of a full-size Golden, he makes up for with the magnitude of the love he has to offer. In his heart Bud is a big dog and you hardly even notice that he is smaller. Many older folks seek these mini-Goldens as they are easier for older people to manage and pick up if needed. And younger folks who live in apartments find this size dog to be just perfect.
Bud has a lovely demeanor and a moderate energy level. He is on the shy side and will take some time getting used to his new adopter and new home. We have a feeling that when this boy bonds with his adopter, it will be one of those very special relationships. We will seek a quiet home for this boy without a lot of comings and goings, and in a quite neighborhood.
Bud walks nicely on the leash but it does not look like leashed walks were part of his daily routine. With time, he will know his leash means FUN! He is good with other dogs, loves his Kong when it's filled with peanut butter, and favors Milkbone's soft dog treats. Bud rides well in the car and keeps his kennel clean, a good sign that he is house-broken.
Tender is the best adjective to describe this boy and the ideal home for this lovely dog is one where he is wanted and cherished. Estimated to be about 1 year old, Bud is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, micro-chipped, and heartworm negative. 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.

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.
