Jemma

Neighbors living on a certain street in AL said all they wanted was a good night’s sleep, but with the constant barking of dogs, something had to be done. And finally, something was done. Dozens of dogs and cats were removed from a home by the police. Our sweet little Jemma is one of the dogs who was rescued from this hoarding situation, and we were so happy to take in this cutie pie and find her the loving home she deserves.<br/><br/>Jemma is a petite Golden-hearted senior, estimated to be 7-8 years old and weighing right around 30 pounds. If you believe wonderful things can come in small packages, keep reading about Jemma! This doll-baby will melt your heart with her big, expressive brown eyes. She loves to prance around the fenced area at the vet clinic where she has been staying, watching what is happening in her world. Watch her in her video.<br/><br/>Jemma spent her first night at her foster home sleeping on the floor until she discovered the bed....a nice luxury for her! Now she sleeps in bed with her foster mom and her dog. She is a good and affectionate girl who can be left alone at home and is practicing her leash-walking skills. She could stand to gain a few pounds, and with good nutrition, we feel her pretty gold and white coat will get shiny and bright. Her wish list is to have a fenced yard for outdoor time and a home where she can spend a good part of her day with her family.<br/><br/>Currently completing heartworm treatment, Jemma has been vaccinated, microchipped, and is spayed. She has been given a Proheart-6 injection for 6 months of heartworm prevention. She also had a dental cleaning while at our vet clinic and a small, benign lump removed from her front leg. When she trots along, she has a slight limp, which, upon x-ray, it appears to be from an old injury. No surgery or medication is required, but her little limp is part of who she is. Jemma will be ready to travel to her home in April, but do not wait to ask about this little charmer!<br/><br/>If you would like to give Jemma the loving home she deserves and you are approved to adopt through SGRR, please contact Mary at: SGRR.seniordogs@proton.me to be considered.<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 continue 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: ajpillinger@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!
