I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other dogs in need. Thank you!
Sweetie Pie was found at a busy intersection in Pensacola, FL by one of our volunteers who could not leave her behind to possibly be hit by a car. Posters were hung, calls to local vet offices were made, and Sweetie Pie was posted in local pet lost and found groups on social media. Whoever owned Sweetie Pie before has yet to come forward. So she is now available for adoption since her "hold time" is now up.
Sweetie Pie is a young female, about 1-2 years old, who weighs 41 lbs. She looks like she may be a Beagle mix and has beautiful white and tan markings. Sweetie Pie loves to lay on the couch with or without her human friends; she is a lapdog who enjoys snuggling. She likes to give neck hugs and routinely gets behind her foster mom on the sofa and wraps herself around her neck and shoulders. The routine is only disturbed if she decides to watch the birds and squirrels in the fenced-in yard. She is people-oriented, loves belly rubs, and happily greets everyone warmly.
Sweetie Pie has a moderate energy level inside and likes to play with toys. When outside, she runs and occasionally will start hopping as she chases birds or squirrels. Sometimes after a burst of energy in the yard she will crate herself and nap with the door open. She is house-broken and OK in a crate with minor whining when she first goes in. It's so cute as she regularly puts herself to bed between 8 and 8:30 pm. It seems like she can tell time or just runs out of steam when the sun is going down. Her foster mom feels that Sweetie is close to not having to be crated at night.
Sweetie Pie is fully vetted - spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm negative and micro-chipped. Sweetie does need to be an only dog.
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.
