Story

Foster Home Update: Marvin is doing well in his foster home! He loves his toys and to be with his foster mom while she works from home. He enjoys his walks and loves playing fetch and romping in the backyard, as you can see in his video. Marvin is a stunning, red-coated, 7-year-old Golden/Lab mix with the most expressive face! You can almost see what he is thinking when he looks at you. Found in an apartment all alone after his humans moved away, he was relieved to be found and has settled in happily as he awaits his forever home and his best years. Marvin is a really nice dog through and through. While at the vet clinic in AL, he got along fine with other dogs and even cats. However, since Marvin doesn't like to share his toys with other dogs, we will seek a home where he will be someone's "one and only." He has a soft mouth and we have learned that he loves soft toys. His foster family in the northeast shares, "Marvin loves to play and will use any toy or ball to get your attention when he wants to play. He loves tennis balls; he retrieves the ball and then releases it. He also enjoys chewing on toys and balls - he's quite a fun dog." Marvin appreciates attention and he will be a terrific companion in a loving home. Friendly and outgoing, Marvin's tail is almost always wagging. He enjoys the companionship of the foster family's teenagers. He walks okay on a leash and with some fine-tuning, he will have this skill mastered quickly. Marvin has a moderate energy level, typical of a 7-year-old dog, so regular nice walks and playtime are on his wish list. When it's time for nighty-night, Marvin sleeps in his bed all night long without a peep. Good boy, Marvin! Very good boy! Weighing about 80-85 lbs, Marvin is vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. He was treated for heartworms and is now cleared for regular activities. He has also received a Proheart 6 injection which means he will not need heartworm preventative for six months. He is in a foster home in the northeast and is ready to meet his forever humans! Rescued dogs come with a range of needs - from behavioral to emotional to medical. When approved applicants adopt such dogs, they agree to become an important, forever part of their life journey by continuing the rehabilitation we have begun.

Story

Beautiful Ginger found herself in an overcrowded shelter in MS and was adopted by a local rescuer who planned to keep Ginger for herself. Sadly, just two weeks after bringing Ginger home, the rescuer found out she had terminal cancer and asked if SGRR would find this beautiful girl her forever home. We were happy to help and it was just in time as this gentle woman passed away quite suddenly. At about 9-10 years of age, Ginger is a dream girl and her southern foster family had only wonderful things to say about her. She has perfect house manners, walks well on the leash, and rides nicely in the car. Ginger loves watching sports on TV with her foster family and her favorite thing to eat is scrambled eggs. One of our volunteers shared, "Ginger does this adorable thing where she kinda murmurs when being loved and leans in for more pets and praise. It’s like a purring cat in a larger GR female! :) Such a loving and sweet lady." Now in a foster home in the northeast, her foster mom tells us, "She is a happy girl and loves to please. She loves playing ball and really enjoys walking. She's very easy to be with and is very affectionate. She walks nicely on a leash and has good house manners. She enjoys all creature comforts. Ginger would love to be someone’s best friend!" Ginger met her foster mom’s friend's dog and walked next to her but did not seem to want to play with her. Ginger seems to seek people's companionship over dog companionship. Ginger is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, and micro-chipped. She finished heartworm treatment and has been given a Proheart-6 injection for 6 months of heartworm prevention. While Ginger has lived with other dogs in her southern foster home, she can be dog-selective so we will seek a home for her where she can be her human's one and only. She has no known history with kitties. Rescued dogs come with a range of needs - from behavioral to emotional to medical. When approved applicants adopt such dogs, they agree to become an important, forever part of their life journey by continuing the rehabilitation we have begun.

Story

I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other dogs in need. Thank you! We can all use a bit of yummy chocolate in our lives, right? Well then, meet Rudy, the most luscious Chocolate Lab to come to our rescue in a long time! This stunning boy was picked up as a stray in the Florida Panhandle area. We were baffled that no one came forward to claim this hunky fellow but we are more than happy to help Rudy find his forever home. Rudy spent time in a foster home in the south and the foster mom shared that he is a real lover-boy who thinks he's a lapdog. He is happy to jump on the couch with you for a good snuggle! Like most Labs, this boy is friendly toward humans and canines alike, though cats proved to be a bit too interesting for Rudy. The typical Lab bonds with the whole family and is an enthusiastic athlete that requires exercise like walking or hiking, and marathon games of fetch. Rudy is no exception... he loves to retrieve and play with balls and toys. These activities will help keep both Rudy and his adopter physically and mentally fit throughout the winter months. While he could use some fine-tuning on his leash-walking skills, is a wonderful dog and is just waiting for his forever family to find him! Rudy is estimated to be about 3 years old, weighs about 65 lbs, and is a handsome, hunky fellow who is a sucker for attention and belly rubs. Rudy is heartworm-negative, has been neutered, brought up-to-date on vaccinations, and is microchipped. He received a Proheart 6 injection for heartworm prevention so he will not need any additional HW preventative for 6 months. Rudy will come north in late December-early January to be directly adopted. If you would like to be part of Rudy's rescue story and are already approved to adopt through SGRR, please contact Cheryl Kewley to be considered to adopt Rudy. 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.

I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other dogs in need. Thank you! Beautiful Mya is an 18-month-old Goldendoodle whose owner had to move and could not take her with him. One of his co-workers took Mya, hoping to place her on their own, but then reached out to our rescue for assistance. Mya has been well cared for and is a wonderful companion. She loves being outside and with daily walks, she is happy to settle inside and chill. She is friendly to everyone she meets and enjoys playing with children. She has a very "golden" personality and even gives that famous "golden paw" when she wants affection. Mya is housebroken and walks pretty well on the leash. She is good with other dogs but has no known history with cats. Mya loves to cuddle and is very affectionate, but her favorite thing to do is RETRIEVE! Mya is a tall girl and weighs about 60 pounds. She is up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed, microchipped, and heartworm negative. She will be ready to come north from AL in mid-January to be directly adopted.

Story

"Well, hello, everyone... My name is Caleb and I beg your forgiveness if I am talking in a quiet voice, but I am a bit shy. Come a little closer and I will tell you all I know about myself. We dogs are so puzzled about how this “stray” thing happens. One day we’re someone’s pet and next thing you know, we’re alone and scared. I somehow wound up in the Dixon Correctional Institute. Oh, I didn’t do anything wrong to be incarcerated but was taken into their rehabilitation program, kind of like you see on the TV show Pitbulls and Parolees. While I was given food and shelter in this program, not much was done to help me feel comfortable in my own fur. But thankfully, they called SGRR to rescue me!” “I hear people say that I am very handsome, a real looker, and very sweet – I think these are all good things! Right? The rescue people think I am a Golden Retriever mixed with something cute and pocket-sized, since I am on the smaller side at about 30 pounds. My eyes are a warm brown and I heard this nice lady say that their sweetness melts her heart. “When I meet you, I am shy at first, but I am so ready to fall in love again and I hope to find an owner who will love me for who I am. I am in a wonderful foster home now and the more I get to know my humans, the more comfortable I become around them. I cherish their affection and their kindness, and I love how they speak to me with gentle tones. I like the company of calmer dogs. I walk pretty nicely on a leash and have a moderate energy level. A quiet adult-only home, with kind, patient, and soft-spoken humans, who are home more often than not, would be ideal for me. I would relish a home where I can be spoiled, kissed, and loved. But please know, I will need time to adjust and unpack my bags. In return, I promise to be your best friend, forever!" Well, thank you for sharing your story with us, Caleb! We are delighted to have you with us and you will learn all about kindness in your southern foster home with Cheryl & Paul. They tell us that Caleb is slowly becoming more comfortable with them and with being in a home environment. Caleb now allows Paul to pick him up and will also stay on the couch with them for a while now, whereas a week or so ago, he would only stay up for a few minutes. Caleb doesn’t mind having a leash on him, but it does not seem like walks have been part of his previous life experience. He eats pretty well and will do so now with his foster parents in the room. Cheryl tells us that when she gets up in the morning, she finds that Caleb’s toys have been moved about the room – oh to be a fly on the wall when all is quiet and Caleb ventures to play with his toys. He is taking baby steps but is certainly moving forward! Caleb is estimated to be about 5 years old and has the adorable look of a perpetual puppy. He has been neutered, vaccinated, and micro-chipped. Since he tested positive for heartworm he has been under treatment and is almost ready for his forever home. He has been given a Proheart 6 injection for heartworm prevention so Caleb will not need any additional HW preventatives for 6 months. He will be coming north in mid-January to be directly adopted. If you are approved to adopt through SGRR, have a quiet adult-only home, a fenced yard, and your specialty is TLC, please contact Cheryl Kewley to be considered to adopt Caleb.

ADOPTION FEES - Effective of October 1, 2024 PUREBRED DOGS Purebred puppies, up to 6 months $1000 Purebred dogs, 6 months - 6 years $800 Purebred dogs, 7 - 9 years $650 Purebred dogs, 10 years and up $550 Young dogs with special needs $650 Senior dogs with special needs $500 Pairs of Purebred Puppies, up to 6 months $1600 Bonded pair - young purebred dogs $1400 Bonded pair - senior dogs 7 years & up $1000 MIXED BREED DOGS Up to 6 months $850 6 months - 6 years $750 7 - 9 years $650 10 years and up $550 Young dogs with special needs $650 Senior dogs with special needs $500 Bonded pair - young dogs $1000 Bonded pair - senior dogs 7 years & up $900 A contract is signed the day of adoption. Under the terms of the contract, all adopters are required to bring the rescue to a vet within 7 business days. The dogs receive basic veterinary care prior to adoption. If your vet identifies an illness that an adopter is not willing to treat, then the dog is returned and a full refund is provided. Many of our dogs are fostered in private homes and we do not have a facility to visit. We are committed to our dogs before, during, and after adoption! The rescue retains title to the dog and can never be released or sold. Should the adopters no longer be able to keep the 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 caring for their Golden in a way we see fit. Adopters then have to 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 and other expenses. Every cent of your generosity goes directly toward the care of a Sunshine dog.
