Story
A good Samaritan in Louisiana witnessed two dogs being thrown from a car on a busy road... Discarded like an old candy wrapper without any regard to the value of their lives. The smaller of the two dogs was hit by a car - don't worry, she is okay now and went to a small dog rescue. And lovely Libby found her way to our rescue!
Libby is all things gentle and sweet. In her foster home in LA, Libby has taken on the role of official babysitter and simply adores the couple's 4-month-old baby. Additionally, Libby loves cuddling with the family's dog, who looks very similar to Libby - perhaps Libby thinks that's her mommy! The fosters have 5 dogs in total, and Libby gets along well with all. Her foster mom said if it wasn't for the fact that they already have 5 dogs and a newborn, Libby would be a keeper for sure! Take a look at this precious pup in her video!
Her foster mom started working on some basic training with Libby, and Libby is already house-broken and crate-trained. Laci shared, "She is a very friendly and playful puppy! She likes to be near you all the time. Libby is good with other dogs and children, but she has not been around cats. She is so good with my baby, and if we are lying in bed together, she will lie right at the baby's feet and lay her head on her. She knows the command "sit, comes when called, and sleeps well through the night. When she gets excited, Libby will grab one of my shoes; she doesn't chew the shoe, just holds it in her mouth. Libby has a soft mouth and takes treats very gently from your hand. She is a wonderful pup and deserves a wonderful home!"
We believe that Libby may be a Flat-Coated Retriever mix, a very intelligent dog breed who responds well to training. They are good for people with families and will get on well with children and other pets in the house. Libby weighs about 40-45 lbs and has been spayed, brought up-to-date on vaccination, and microchipped. She is heartworm negative and has been given a Proheart-6 injection for 6 months of heartworm prevention.
Lovely Libby will be headed north in late November to be directly adopted. If you are approved to adopt through SGRR, please contact Cheryl Kewley to be considered to adopt this adorable girl. If you are not yet approved, 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.
