Meet Perci

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!

Perci is a sweet little girl who, through no fault of her own, found herself at an animal shelter in Alabama. The shelter called SGRR and told us about this little girl who needed out of the shelter quickly. Sunshine was happy to take her into our care and find a forever home for this girl.

When she first came to our rescue, Perci was afraid of her own shadow. The sound of a leaf falling would make her jump and it seemed like she slept with one eye open. Our lead volunteer in AL shared, "She is a sweetheart but was very scared when I first met her. In fact, her whole body was shaking. But once she saw I was going to be nice to her, she calmed down and came over to me." More and more, this angel is gaining trust and her inner happiness is emerging. She is so much more lively and is a wonderfully sweet girl. After a few days of settling in, we know Perci will unfold nicely in a calm and loving home.

Perci looks like a Collie or a Sheltie mixed with a Golden Retriever, and her size is somewhere in between a Golden and a Sheltie at about 45 lbs. She is estimated to be about 3-4 years old and is a really pretty girl. Perci is good with other dogs but has no known history with cats. She is an active girl who, with some work on her leash skills, will be a wonderful walking or jogging companion. Perci is a very special girl who needs to feel loved and cherished. We know she will flourish in the care of a loving adopter.

Perci has been brought up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed, and micro-chipped. Best of all, she is heartworm negative! She can come north at the end of March to be directly adopted.

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.

Perci 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
$400 Senior 7+ Special Needs

$1000 Young Bonded Pair
$900 Senior 7+ Bonded Pair

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!
