Fifi (along with sister Zoe) is looking for a new home after the passing of her mom. One of the granddaughters took Fifi and Zoe to the kennel because the other granddaughter was going to leave the girls loose in the unfenced yard. She felt like it was no life for them and they could wander off or be attacked. She never thought it would be over six months that the poor girls would be in the kennel with no one to love or care about them as treasured companions. Our hearts just ache for these girls who are so sweet and are so deserving for being the center of someone's world.
Our lead volunteer in AL, Lisa, shares, "Fifi is so sweet! She would be great with an older couple or most anyone. Fifi is not high energy even though she is only 2-3 years old. Everyone at the kennel (and me) thinks Fifi is the sweetest thing in the world! She would make someone a great dog as long as they only wanted one dog. She is so easy - you give them a treat and they will do anything you want, but they mainly just want to lay around and be rubbed down and Loved.
Fifi is 2-3 years old, is spayed, and up to date on vaccinations. Fifi was treated for heartworm and is now cleared for regular activity. She weighs about 39 lbs and is such a nice sized-dog for folks who live in an apartment or condo. Fifi loves to eat and she loves treats which she will take very gently from your hand.
Fifi walks pretty decently on a leash and is house-trained. When she gets to know you, she is very loving. Fifi is dog-selective so it is probably best if she is placed as an only dog, or she could be adopted with her sister, Zoe. She's not super active for her age so she's a good fit for somebody a little older or someone who wants a snuggly companion
Lisa, our lead volunteer in AL, has taken Fifi under her wing and can tell you all you need to know about this sweetie pie. Please contact Lisa at lkh5@mchsi.com or call/text 251-404-0045 to learn more about Fifi. Travel arrangements to the northeast can be arranged. Please consider this lovely lady to fill your life with happiness with her warm smile and unconditional affection.

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.
