We all might be ready for the snow to end, but one look at this beautiful, snowy white fellow will make you think of the fluffy stuff! Bruno, an 18-24-month-old cream-colored Golden Retriever/Great Pyrenees mix, is ready to find his forever home! With his soft, fluffy coat and warm, soulful eyes, he captures hearts everywhere he goes. He is incredibly sweet, smart, and lovable.
Bruno came to our rescue from a high-kill shelter in Louisiana, where he was picked up as a stray. It amazed the staff that no one came looking for a dog as lovable and sweet as Bruno. But don't you worry, handsome boy, you will never be homeless again!
For a younger dog, Bruno has a fairly mellow temperament and walks pretty well on a leash. He is good with other dogs, but his main focus is on his people. He loves, loves, loves people! Can you picture yourself running your hands through his fluffy, plush fur?!? We are certain Bruno will give you lots of licks in return for this affection.
Heather, one of our mail volunteers in AL, shared, "He’s a total smoosh sweetheart fur-bundle! He is actually pretty thin under all that glorious fur. He's very friendly, affectionate, loves being petted, and will scoot closer to lie down right next to me. He’s semi-interested in retrieving (check out his video) and likes to play with toys in his own way. He likes being outside, but Bruno gets hot quickly with all that fur of his and likes to lay in shady spots."
Bruno is underweight at 62 lbs and should likely be around 78 lbs. He has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and best of all, he tested negative for heartworms! If you are approved to adopt through SGRR, please contact Cheryl Kewley at: ckewley123@gmail.com to be considered for Bruno. He will be ready to come north in early May. Bruno is a real GEM and will not last long, so don't wait to ask about him!
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 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.

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.
