I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other dogs in need. Thank you! We all might be ready for the snow to end, but one look at this beautiful, snowy white girl will make you think of the fluffy stuff! Aurora Adora, a 5-month cream-colored Golden Retriever, is ready to find her forever home! With her soft, fluffy coat and warm, soulful eyes, she captures hearts everywhere she goes. She is incredibly sweet, smart, and lovable. Aurora came to our rescue from an elderly couple who found a young puppy's energy to be too much for them. However, like any puppy, she has that perfect amount of puppy-appropriate energy; playful and curious but just as happy to settle down to snuggle up with her favorite people after a fun play session. Her foster mom shares, “She is very smart, and we are working with her to sharpen up basic commands and improve leash walking. She is housebroken, very curious about every noise and every item in the house. While exploring, she is learning what is hers to play with and what is not! She is just a lovable girl who loves attention. Aurora is sure to grow into a loyal and devoted companion." Aurora is happiest when she is close to you. She would love a home where she can be given attention, love, and guidance. She loves everyone she meets, greeting them enthusiastically. If you’re looking for a joyful, affectionate addition to your family, this precious girl might just be your perfect match. Aurora has received her puppy vaccinations and presently weighs about 35 lbs. She will likely weigh about 65 lbs when she is full-grown. Aurora's adopters must commit to spaying their adopted pup when she reaches 1 year of age, or as your veterinarian recommends, and must provide proof of neutering/spaying to SGRR. If you are approved to adopt through SGRR, are home most of the day, have an active life-style, and a sense of humor, please contact Cheryl Kewley at: ckewley123@gmail.com to be considered. Rescued dogs come with a range of needs - from behavioral to emotional to medical. When approved applicants adopt such dogs, they agree to take on whatever comes with the dog. It is up to YOU to continue the rehabilitation we have begun. This is what it means to rescue. 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. Aurora is a real GEM and will not last long, so don't wait to ask about her! Please direct any questions regarding your application status to: ajpillinger@gmail.com 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.

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.
