**I have an adoption pending but hope you will consider one of our other dogs in need.**
Relinquished to our rescue with the last group of dogs from the backyard breeder in MS, Honey is now officially retired! She is a little shy, but full of sweetness, and she loves attention more and more each day.
In between her stay at the vet's office for heartworm treatment, Honey spent time in one of our southern foster homes. It was there that Honey learned how comfy it feels to lay on a soft couch and nap without a care in the world. She is blossoming into a lovely dog who will be so happy to be part of someone's life. A home that is somewhat quiet, possibly with another calm dog for company, will be best for our Honey-bunny. Foster mom, Cheryl, shared that Honey is a good eater and frequently wags her tail. She is crate-trained and has learned to go potty outside. Honey enjoys being outside in the fenced-in yard where she can sniff to her heart's delight while finding just the right spot to do her business.
Honey gets along with all the dogs she has met (check out her video with Gryffin) and loves her stuffed toys. She walks nicely on a leash; for a dog who never wore a collar or saw a leash this is a huge accomplishment!
This purebred beauty is estimated to be about 3-5 years old - just the right age and past the stage of over-the-top puppy energy. Honey is now spayed, vaccinated, and micro-chipped. Since she tested positive for heartworm she has been under treatment and is almost ready for her forever home. She has been given a Proheart 6 injection for heartworm prevention so Honey will not need any additional HW preventatives for 6 months. Honey should be ready to travel north to her forever home in early August.
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.
