Lacy Golden Retriever Mix New Canaan, CT

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!

Pretty Lacy was turned in to a LA shelter, by her owner, when the owner was moving to different housing. A second dog named Oliver was turned in with Lacy and Sunshine welcomed both of them. We have since found they are not bonded and can live happily in separate homes.

Lacy is a gentle dog at 8 years old, 52 lbs., and we believe her to be a Golden mix. She is a little on the shy side, although that did not stop her from grabbing the treat offered by our lead volunteer, Lisa, when first meeting Lacy! Lacy has a moderate to lower energy level. Because she lived with her friend Oliver, we know she gets along with dogs, although cats are an unknown. Lacy rode nicely in the car on her ride to our vet clinic in AL and we are learning she is a sweetheart!

Lacy melts your heart when she looks at you with her soft doe-like eyes. She has a medium coat length and is currently shedding her coat. Her new coat may grow in longer; either way, she is a pretty girl. Lacy’s back end is somewhat weak and we have started her on anti-inflammatory medicine to help. We are hopeful that this along with the right amount of exercise will help strengthen her back end. She will make the sweetest companion in a calm home!

Lacy is vaccinated, spayed, micro-chipped, and has just started heartworm treatment. Check back as we get more pictures and learn more about this gentle, sweet dog who will be so happy to feel loved and included! Lacy will be ready for her new home in mid-March.

Due to the overwhelming response, we are no longer accepting applications for Lacy. Lacy 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.

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.
