I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other dogs in need. Thank you!
Beautiful Ziggy is a two-year-old Goldendoodle whose owner turned her into our rescue. The family lived on a large open property in the Alabama countryside. Ziggy would frequently break through the electric fencing and go visiting. One of their neighbors did not take kindly to Ziggy's visits and would shoot at her. Fearing for their dog's life, they decided to find a better living situation for sweet Ziggy.
Ziggy has been well cared for and is a wonderful companion. She loves being outside and with daily walks, she is happy to settle inside and chill. She loves to cuddle and is very affectionate. She is friendly to everyone she meets and enjoys playing with children. She has a very "Golden" personality and even gives that famous "Golden paw" when she wants affection. She is amiable to most other animals other than chickens, unless they are in nugget form! Ziggy is house-broken, crate-trained, and she walks well on leash but is a zigzagger. Maybe that’s why they named her Ziggy!
Ziggy’s foster mom says she has lots of puppy energy and mischief but settles nicely. She is very gentle and the training she will need is very basic house manners. Ziggy is still very much a puppy, jumping lightly on people, and grabbing things she shouldn’t - she is definitely a doodle puppy!!
Ziggy weighs about 50 pounds, is up to date on vaccinations, spayed, micro-chipped, and heartworm negative. Ziggy is currently being fostered here in New England.
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 Ziggy's rescue story, are approved to adopt through SGRR, have a physically fenced yard, and an active lifestyle, please contact
Cheryl Kewley to be considered to adopt Ziggy.

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.
