Zoe, along with her sister, Fifi, is looking for a new home after the passing of her mom. One of the granddaughters took the dogs to the kennel for boarding 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. No one ever thought it would be over six months that the 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, "This girl is the sweetest thing in the world! She would make someone, who only wants one pet, a great companion. She is so easy-going and gentle when you give Zoe a treat. She is a go-with-the-flow kind of girl and will do anything you want. Mainly, Zoe just wants to be loved and know she has a BFF!"
Although she is only 2-3 years old, Zoe is has a moderate energy level and is happy to hang around and chill. Everyone thinks Zoe is the sweetest thing in the world! She weighs 69 pounds and has a beautiful shiny black coat and intelligent brown eyes. She's good with people, but would do best as an only pet, unless she is adopted with her sister, Fifi. Zoe is house-trained and she's good on the leash. She also is a little timid but once you get to know her, she's fine. Just take a look at this sweetie in her video!
Zoe is a beautiful black Lab who is up to date on vaccinations and is spayed. She was treated for heartworm and is now cleared for regular activity. Zoe walks pretty nicely on the leash and is very loving. She's not super active for her age so she's a good fit for somebody a little older or someone who wants a gentle companion.
Lisa, our lead volunteer in AL, has taken Zoe under her wings and can tell you all you need to know about this black beauty. Please contact Lisa at lkh5@mchsi.com or call/text 251-404-0045 to learn more about Zoe. Travel arrangements to the northeast can be arranged. Please consider helping this girl get out of the kennel and into your life! You won't be disappointed!

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.
