My name is Alana!

Alana came to SGRR when her former owner faced difficult economic times. Alana was left home most of the day with her brother, Ace, and received little mental or physical stimulation. Knowing she deserved better, Alana surrendered to our rescue and is ready to start her new life.

This 4-year-old girl was born on 8/30/2021 and truly has a way of lifting your spirits just by resting her head in your lap. Her foster mom shares, "Alana is so much fun. She’s confident and playful. She will just walk up to Ace and take his ball, and they will sometimes play tug of war. She totally ignores his growling, protecting his ball. She loves to play and retrieve, as you can see in her video! They don’t lie next to each other or look for the other when they are gone. She also doesn’t seem overly interested in Maki (our resident dog), but she loves people and is cuddly when we sit on the floor. She loves to go for hikes in the woods, is easy to walk, and is very efficient on eliminations."

Alana is about 4 years old and weighs around 45 lbs. This Golden Retriever/Poodle mix would make a faithful, fun, and devoted companion. She has the biggest heart and the sweetest disposition! She is very well behaved and is housebroken.

Alana has been spayed, vaccinated, and tested negative for heartworm. She is in the northeast and ready to meet her forever family! If you are approved to adopt through SGRR, please contact Cheryl Kewley to be considered for Alana. If you are not yet approved, please visit our website to fill out an application!

Rescued dogs come with a range of needs - from behavioral to emotional to medical. When approved applicants adopt such dogs, they agree to become an important, forever part of their life journey by continuing 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.
