I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other dogs in need. Thank you!
Magnus was found as a stray in AL with almost no fur and severely irritated eyes due to a severe skin condition. Estimated to be 10 years old, we don't know how long he was suffering and in such sad shape. But he is recovering nicely and this sweet guy's personality is already shining through!
In his foster home, Magnus was shy at first but quickly settled in. He is house trained and can be left alone in the house without needing to be crated. On the thin side at about 65 lbs, he loves his food and treats. If he is exploring in the back yard and his Foster Mom wants him to come inside, she just shakes his food dish and Magnus comes running!! He is a fairly tall dog with long legs who walks pretty well on a leash and loves to explore the back yard.
We believe Magnus did not receive much affection in his past. He really enjoys being petted and even relaxing on the couch. When he would like a little more petting, he gently gives you his paw. Melts your heart!
Magnus gets along well with other dogs and even cats. He has a young and happy spirit in spite of his former neglect. Stuffed toys are unknown to him and he doesn't touch the basket of toys in his foster home. But he likes to play and was pouncing on a tennis ball in the kennel yard like a puppy.
Magnus has good mobility and gets around just fine. He is neutered, vaccinated, and heartworm negative. He received several medicated baths to help his irritated skin, and is taking Apoquel for itching relief. We don't yet know if this is temporary, or if he will need to continue an allergy relief medication in his forever home.
If you believe in and understand rescue, then you can already see the inner dog in Magnus, and his potential as he moves on past his former neglect. He is becoming a tall and handsome dog with a happy soul. He just needs you to continue the care we have started and to help make his dreams come true. You will be so glad you did!

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.
