Mikee

My story

I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other great dogs. Thank you! Handsome Mikee appears to be a purebred Golden Retriever who is about 2-3 years old. He found his way to our rescue through a shelter in rural Louisiana, when he was displaced during Hurricane Sally. He was running at large with several Labs who seemed to have buddied-up for companionship. While we know he had to have been "someone's" dog for the past few years, no one came forward to claim this sweetie pie. This stunning fellow is as happy as they come and his smile certainly lights up a room. He has all the traits that have made Golden Retrievers the highly popular dogs that are today. Mikee, however, does not seem to have had a lot of training in his prior life or it could be that he is just so happy to be in the company of humans that he sometimes forgets his manners. But offer Mikee his favorite bone and he quickly calms. He is a very smart boy and is taking to correction readily. With time, patience, and consistency he will become one AMAZING companion! Mikee has been brought up-to-date on vaccinations, was neutered, is heartworm negative, and has been micro-chipped. He is good with other dogs and we suspect he would enjoy older children. He is now ready for his best years ever! 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 have an active lifestyle and would like to be part of Mikee's rescue story, and you have already been approved for adoption through SGRR, please contact Donna Toncic to be considered to adopt Mikee. If not yet approved for adoption, please visit our website to lean more and to submit an online application. Click here to visit our website. Please contact us with any questions regarding your application status. PLEASE APPLY by submitting an application via this online link: Click for Adoption Application 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.

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.
