Meet Gracie

I have an Adoption Pending and will be going home soon. But I hope you will consider one of our other wonderful dogs in need. Thank you!

In early March, a plea went out to many rescues in the south about a sweet little dog who was hit by a car in Mobile County, AL. She was brought to the shelter but she was urgently in need of vet care. SGRR responded with a quick “YES!” to the plea for a rescue to take her, since she had already been at the shelter for several days on stray hold, all bloody and in pain. Pain medications were administered and this sweet baby was checked for injuries. Thankfully, no internal injuries were found, though she did suffer many contusions and a dislocated front elbow. Throughout the entire time Gracie was being examined, poked and prodded by the vet, this sweetheart never rise a lip or uttered a growl. She seemed so grateful for the kindness and the compassion that was being bestowed upon her.

While at the shelter, a microchip was found in Gracie. Her owners were called and told about her mishap and they decided not to reclaim her. Truly, that was her lucky day as she will never be unwanted again!

Gracie is estimated to be about 2 years old and appears to be a Yellow Lab, possibly a mix, weighing 48 lbs. Gracie has stolen many hearts and has acquired many fans at the vet clinic. She gets along with other dogs and all the humans she meets. She loves to be included in anything people are doing, but her favorite thing in the whole wide world is to cuddle. Gracie has a gentle disposition and is an easy-going girl. She rides nicely in the car and enjoys walking on a leash. She is the perfect companion for just about anyone.

Gracie will be ready to head north to her forever home in early-to-mid April, just as soon as her elbow has healed. She is up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed, and micro-chipped and tested negative for heartworm.. In return for a loving home and warm place to lay her head, Gracie promises to give her adopter her unconditional love – isn’t that all we could ever ask for?

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.

Gracie has an Adoption Pending and will be going home soon. But she hopes you will consider one of our other wonderful dogs in need. Thank you!

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.

SGRR ADOPTION FEES - Effective May 1, 2020 (subject to change)

$750 Puppy - up to 6 months
$650 Young 6 months - 6 years
$550 Senior 7 - 9 years
$450 Senior 10 years and older

$550 Young Special Needs

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.

THANK YOU!
