Spring is a 65-pound sweetheart who we believe to be around 6-7 years old. She has a moderate-to-low energy level and would much rather relax in the shade, watch the birds, and soak up affection than run a marathon. Some of her favorite activities include lounging in the grass and getting belly rubs. One of our volunteers shared, "She loves the long grass! I mean, really loves it! She likes to lie on her back and wiggle around, scooting with her paws in the air like she just don't care!" Spring knows how to sit, keeps her kennel clean with no accidents, and requires minimal training. One of her cutest habits is lifting her paw to get your attention and encourage even more petting. It's impossible to resist!
This friendly girl gets along well with other dogs and is curious and social when meeting new canine friends. She may occasionally bark at a dog she's just noticed, but her goal is usually to say hello and touch noses. She would likely do well with another friendly dog but would be just as happy being the center of attention as your one-and-only "Queen Bee." Spring walks reasonably well on a leash and would benefit from some continued practice, but she's already a pleasant companion for casual strolls. Overall, Spring is a healthy, happy dog who is ready to trade kennel life for a comfy couch, loving family, and belly rubs. Could that home be yours?
Spring has been spayed, brought up-to-date on vaccinations, micro-chipped, and is heartworm negative. She will be ready to come from the South for direct adoption in late June. She has been given a Proheart-6 injection for 6 months of heartworm prevention.
Spring is ready to meet you! If you have room in your heart for sweet Spring and you are already approved to adopt through SGRR, please contact Mary at: SGRR.seniordogs@proton.me to be considered.
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.
