I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other dogs in need. Thank you!
Jennifer is one of seven Mississippi Breeder dogs who came to Sunshine after spending years making puppies and living in neglectful conditions. At 5 years old and 65 lbs, Jennifer is SO pretty, with huge brown eyes and still very little white on her face.
Jennifer was terrified when she first arrived at our clinic, trembling and withdrawn. Each day she is feeling just a bit more comfortable as she gains enough confidence for her Golden spirit to come through. She is spending time in the kennel yard now but is not yet comfortable on a leash. She'll get there with time but we will required a physically fenced yard for Jennifer in her new home. Like the others, Jennifer gets along with all the dogs she has met as dogs are what she is most used to.
A home that is quiet, with another calm, confident dog for company, will be best for Jennifer as she learns how it feels to be loved and spoiled. She is miles ahead of some breeder dogs who are afraid to even walk through a doorway. She just needs time and love to put her sad past behind. She is the sweetest dog who will become a beautiful, loving Golden girl.
Jennifer is the only one of the Mississippi girls who tested heartworm positive. She is now spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, and is nearly done with her heartworm treatment. Because she received a Proheart 6 injection as the first part of her heartworm treatment, Jennifer will not need any additional HW preventatives for 6 months.
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.
If you are approved to adopt through SGRR, have a quiet home, and your specialty is TLC, please contact
Donna to be considered to be considered to become Jenny's new best friend. It is now her time to know what it is to be a beloved companion!

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.
