Meet Chance

I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other wonderful dogs in need. Thank you!

Chance's Story: Chance reminds us of Clifford the Big Red Dog! He is a handsome red Golden Retriever who, at age 9, was relinquished by his owner in AL because she became a single mom and no longer had time for him.

When he arrived at our vet partner's clinic, Chance was sad and dirty and appeared neglected both physically and emotionally. He had a nice bath, loved being brushed out and, thus, began the best years of his life. We promised Chance that he will have a home where he will receive the attention and care he has missed.

Now at a foster home, Chance is starting to relax. He loves being brushed and petted, and will go over to his foster parents for petting. He loves wandering around in the back yard. Chance slept on a rug on the floor and we are not sure he has ever had a true dog bed. He is a stocky boy who has a big block head with a thick coat and looks much like a teddy bear. His surrendering owner tells us Chance is good with dogs, loved the family cat, and is good with children. He is house trained, loves the car, and walks fine on a leash.

Chance was slow to get up from a down position when first with us. He has started anti-inflammatory meds for his hips (which will be x-rayed) and already feels better, trotting across the yard at his foster home. He is being treated for ear infections, and also began thyroid medicine which should help him lose extra weight. Chance will need to continue thyroid and anti-inflammatory medicines, both of which are reasonably priced -- and he is so worth it!

Chance has been brought up to date on his vaccinations, micro-chipped, and will be neutered. He tested heartworm negative, and should be ready to travel to his new home and life at the end of May or early June.

Rescued dogs come with a range of needs - from behavioral to emotional to medical. When approved applicants adopt such dogs, they agree to continue the rehabilitation we have begun.

Chance has an Adoption Pending but hopes you will consider one of our other wonderful dogs in need. Thank you!

ABOUT OUR RESCUE
Before being approved to adopt, all potential adopters will be required 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 indicate that this dog is not the right match for your family. We are frequently getting new Goldens in need of a home, so we encourage you to apply and complete the application process so that when the right dog comes along you will be ready.

The information provided on each dog is based on the 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 behave and adapt in your home.

SGRR ADOPTION FEES - Effective May 1, 2020 (subject to change)

$750 Puppy - up to 6 months
$650 Young 6 months - 6 years
$550 Senior 7 - 9 years
$450 Senior 10 years and older

$550 Young Special Needs
$400 Senior 7+ Special Needs

$1000 Young Bonded Pair
$900 Senior 7+ Bonded Pair

A contract is signed on the day of adoption. Under the terms of the contract, all adopters are required to bring their SGRR dog to a vet within 7 business days. All dogs receive basic veterinary care prior to adoption. However, if an adopter's vet identifies an illness that an adopter is not willing to treat, then the dog may be returned and a full refund would be provided.

Most of our dogs are fostered in private homes. We do not have a facility to visit. We are committed to our dogs before, during, and after adoption! To this end, the rescue retains an interest in each dog and our dogs can never be surrendered, re-homed, or sold. Should an adopter no longer be able to keep their SGRR 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 providing proper care. Adopters 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 care and other expenses. Every cent of your generosity goes directly toward the care of a Sunshine dog.
