Butter Retriever Mix New Canaan, CT

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

Oh Butter!! Could you be any CUTER!?! We think not!

Butter was picked up as a stray in Mobile, AL. Surely she was someone's dog, being as nicely mannered as she is! How heart-breaking for her that her family did not come looking for her. Thought to be about 1 1/2 years old, Butter weighs 43 lbs. We do not know her breed but whatever went into her DNA, it produced one AWESOME dog! Butter has a shiny black coat with beautiful contrasting markings of gold. She's a nice sized dog, not too big, yet not too small. She has yet to bark at the vet's kennel so no worries about annoying the neighbors with too much barking.

When meeting another Sunshine dog, Butter ran over to him with her tail wagging, wanting to play. Butter met two cats at the vet's office. She was friendly to the nice cat but when the snarky cat hissed at her, she turned tail and ran away! She jumps a little, in a friendly way, but gets down immediately when told. She walks pretty well on a leash and loves affection. One of her favorite things are stuffed animals to cuddle and play with.

It appears friendly little Butter-ball will bond very quickly with her new human(s). She wants to be loved and she needs someone who will be very committed to giving her unconditional love. She is spayed and vaccinated, micro-chipped, and is heartworm negative. Butter will be ready to travel north in mid-July and we hope to have a forever home waiting for her!! She is a lovely dog and so deserving of a FOREVER home!

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.

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.
