Luna

My story

I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other dogs in need. Thank you! Luna is a stunning (almost) 3-year-old Chocolate Lab (birthday 4/27/22) who needs an active forever home. Taken in from a family who could no longer care for Luna, she has lived with her current family for the past 1.5 years. However, with 6 kids and their activities, farm animals, and other dogs in the household, this kind family has found they do not have the time that Luna deserves and asked us to help find Luna a forever home. The family shares, "Luna is probably the friendliest dog we’ve ever met. She is very loyal and full of energy. She LOVES to swim, it’s her favorite thing. She is good with other dogs and has been exposed to dogs her size and smaller dogs the size of a mini poodle. She is good with cats and she is good with kids - we have six, ages 3-14!" Luna likes to be included in the family's activities and if left outside on her own, she will bark to be let back in. She is a very people-oriented girl who loves to play and also loves to snuggle. Take a look at Luna's video. With 6 kids and many family obligations to focus on, Luna needs a bit of fine-tuning on things like leash-walking and jumping up. At 63 lbs, she is very food motivated so training should come along readily for this girl who is both smart and eager to please. Luna rides nicely in the car and knows the commands sit, lay down, and shake. Luna has been well-cared-for and is up-to-date on vaccination, is spayed, heartworm negative, and microchipped. If you are approved to adopt through SGRR, are home most of the day, and have an active lifestyle, please contact Cheryl Kewley to be considered to adopt this wonderful girl. Luna is being fostered in the northeast and would love to be in her forever home for her birthday on 4/27! 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 not yet approved for adoption, please visit our website to learn 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.
