I have an Adoption Pending but I hope you will consider one of our other dogs in need. Thank you!
Rosie is a lovely, calm, and happy purebred Golden Retriever who has lived with her human mom since she was a puppy. Unfortunately, her mom has run into financial difficulty and cannot afford to care for Rosie's needs. Rosie is well-loved and treated, and her mom is heartbroken to let her go. But she is putting Rosie first and we promised to find a loving home where Rosie will continue to receive the love and attention she has always known.
Rosie is a classic, sweet, and affectionate Golden. She loves attention and is very friendly and social. She gets along great with other dogs, cats, and kids. Rosie is accustomed to a quiet home as it has just been Rosie and her mom. But this friendly girl loves to ride in the car and go for short walks. She knows commands to sit, paw, and lie down and thoroughly enjoys being by your side. Rosie loves her crate, door open, which is her safe place to hang out or nap. A crate is a must in her new home.
The challenge Rosie faces is that she is hypothyroid and has been so for some time. This has left Rosie very overweight with a poor quality to her coat, and some hot spots. She has just started taking the medicine she needs, and with time, Rosie will lose her extra pounds, regain her shiny coat, and feel so much better in general. She will most likely remain on thyroid medicine, but it is not expensive care.
Pretty Rosie will be a wonderful companion in a home where someone is home more often than not, possibly with another dog for company. She enjoys daily walks, and a yard to play in would be so nice for her to enjoy! Once she has some regular exercise and her thyroid medicine has had time to make a difference for her, she is going to be a beauty! At just 7 years of age, she will be more energetic than she has been for a while, and she can live her happiest life.
Rosie is living in New England and is ready to meet you!

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.
