Cooper

Cooper is a handsome 6 and a half year-old Labrador mix with a heart as big as his smile. At 68 pounds, he's the perfect combination of playful energy and gentle companionship. Originally adopted from SGRR about 5 years ago, this wonderful boy is only looking for a new home because his owner is moving out of the country - a heartbreaking decision made out of necessity, not because of anything Cooper has done.<br/><br/>Cooper loves people and is happiest when he's spending time with his family. Whether it's going for a walk, playing fetch in the yard, or simply relaxing by your side after a day of fun, Cooper is always ready to be your best friend.<br/><br/>This sweet boy is well-mannered and has excellent house manners. He's fully housebroken, walks beautifully on a leash, and knows several commands, including sit, stay, heel, and lay down. He gets along well with other dogs and is friendly with everyone he meets. Cooper rarely barks, only letting you know when someone is at the door.<br/><br/>An active home with a fenced yard would be Cooper's dream. He enjoys running and playing and would thrive with an active adopter who can include him in daily walks, hikes, or outdoor adventures. Like many Labs, Cooper has a strong prey drive and loves chasing squirrels and chipmunks, so he'll need to stay leashed or in a secure yard. His compatibility with cats is unknown.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion who is already well-trained and ready to become part of the family, Cooper may be the perfect match. He's ready to trade apartment living for a yard to run in and a family to love forever.<br/><br/>Cooper is up-to-date on vaccinations, micro-chipped, heartworm negative, and neutered. If you are approved to adopt through SGRR, please contact Cheryl Kewley at: ckewley123@gmail.com to be considered to adopt charismatic Cooper. <br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>If not yet approved for adoption, please visit our website to learn more and to submit an online application: http://sunshinegoldenrescue.com/adoption-info1.html <br/><br/>Please direct any questions regarding your application status to: ckewley123@gmail.com <br/><br/>Thank you!<br/> <br/>ABOUT OUR RESCUE<br/>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. <br/><br/>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.<br/><br/><br/> ADOPTION FEES - Effective October 1, 2024<br/><br/>PUREBRED DOGS <br/>$1000 Purebred puppies, up to 6 months <br/> $800 Purebred dogs, 6 months - 6 years <br/> $650 Purebred dogs, 7 - 9 years <br/> $550 Purebred dogs, 10 years and up <br/><br/> $650 Young dogs with special needs <br/> $500 Senior dogs with special needs <br/><br/>$1600 Pairs of Purebred Puppies, up to 6 months<br/>$1400 Bonded pair - young purebred dogs <br/>$1000 Bonded pair - senior dogs 7 years & up <br/> <br/>MIXED BREED DOGS<br/> $850 Up to 6 months <br/> $750 6 months - 6 years <br/> $650 7 - 9 years <br/> $550 10 years and up <br/><br/> $650 Young dogs with special needs <br/> $500 Senior dogs with special needs <br/><br/>$1000 Bonded pair - young dogs <br/> $900 Bonded pair - senior dogs 7 years & up <br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Please visit our website at: http://sunshinegoldenrescue.com to learn more about our rescue and to make a Donation to support Sunshine Golden Retriever Rescue. <br/><br/>THANK YOU!
