Bianca

“Hey there, y’all… I’m Bianca and I come from Baldwin County, AL. I once had a home, but I wandered away and couldn’t find my way back. The nice people at the shelter took me in and gave me a private room, clean drinking water, and good food to eat. Everyone thought my family would come and take … me home, but that never happened and it made me very sad. The shelter lady contacted Lisa at the Golden Retriever rescue and asked if they would take a golden-looking mix like I am. I was so happy when they said yes! Lisa told me that the volunteers at the rescue would find me a wonderful forever home where I will never ever have to worry about being homeless again. I totally believe her because she is such a kind lady! I am about 1-year-old and I weigh about 40 lbs. People say I look like a Golden Retriever mix but whatever I am, I am quite the looker if I do say so myself! Don’t you just love my fluffy coat? Only inquire to adopt me if you are okay with being stopped when we go for walks because people will want to pet me and say “what a sweet girl you are!” Right now I am a little shy and scared but once I am with my new family and I know I am loved, I will have more confidence and my full personality will show itself. I would like a canine companion in my new home so he or she can show me all things dogs need to know. Since my former people did not keep me on heartworm prevention, I tested positive for heartworm and I am under heartworm treatment. I should be ready to go to my forever home in late June. I really cannot wait to meet you!!!” Bianca has been spayed, brought up to date on vaccinations, and is micro-chipped. 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. If you are approved to adopt through SGRR, have a quiet home, and are committed to training this sweet girl, please contact Donna Toncic at: [email protected] to be considered to adopt Bianca. Please direct any questions regarding your application status to: [email protected]. Thank you! 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.
