Story
Bear is a sweet, young Labradoodle who was originally adopted from the Baldwin County Animal Shelter about a year and a half ago. Sadly, due to divorce, the family needs to re-home this precious pup. Bear is understandably confused about the loss of his family and presently a bit shy in his interactions as he adjusts to his new circumstances.
Bear's former family describes him as energetic and playful. He loved spending time in their fenced yard and romping with their other dogs. Due to his high prey drive, a physical fence is a must for this fellow and cats, ducks, and other small critters are a definite no-no. Bear is good on leash but not a fan of being crated. He is also a champion cuddler. Bear is very friendly and affectionate - so much so that he will occasionally jump up to excitedly greet people. For this young pup, there was not much time for training in Bear's former home. With a little fine turning he will become a very wonderful companion. Bear is smart and eager to please and will learn quickly with a little consistent training and guidance.
Bear is estimated to be 18-24 months and weighs 66 lbs. He is up to date on his vaccinations, neutered, is heartworm negative, and has no known health issues. He received a Proheart 6 injection so he will not need any additional heartworm preventative for 6 months.
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.
If you are ready for lots of love and devotion, this teddy Bear is your boy! 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 to be considered to adopt this wonderful boy.

About Our Rescue
Before being approved to adopt, all potential adopters need 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 find that this dog is not the right match for your family. We are regularly getting new Goldens in need of a home, so we encourage you to apply and get approved so that when the right dog comes along you will be ready.
The information provided on each dog is based on 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 act in your home.

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.
