My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi! We are very bonded 22-month-old Goldendoodles. We arrived at GRRAND in March after an Amish breeder surrendered us. We didn't have names so, as it was springtime, our GRRAND people called us Daffodil (Daffy) and Iris!



Unlike our friends at the kennel who also came from Amish breeders, we are more social and love all people and other dogs. We play in the play yard daily with other GRRAND dogs, and we love it when volunteers play with us, especially if they have treats. We've been working on our walking skills and are doing well. We love to get outside of the kennel to meet all the new smells!!



We've only ever been in a kennel, but we are perfect, and beautiful, so we are hoping someone will see this post and give us the opportunity to go to a real home with a TV, doggie beds, furniture, and, of course, a loving family. If you meet us, you will fall in love and we hope you take us home forever!



 



From the GRRAND kennel: Daffodil (Daffy) and Iris are a bonded pair and need to stay together!



They came into the GRRAND program with her litter mate Iris in March of this year from an Amish breeder. Dogs from Amish breeders are usually not well socialized and very timid of humans.   



These two are an exception; they have come so far in  seven or so months they have been with us. 



They love people and being petted. They LOVE treats. They love playing with the other sweet dogs at GRRAND Central Station. They are high energy and love to run and play but have shown no aggression to people or dogs.



We recently started walking them off property on leash; they love the new experience, smells, sounds, wildlife,  and are doing great! They still pull some, but we continue to work on that. 



They do not mess in their kennel but that doesn't necessarily mean they are house trained. It does indicate they will be easy to train.



We now believe this beautiful pair are ready for a home with a secure above ground fence. They will be flight risk pups until they are settled so no children under 13.



Please consider taking these pups "

More about this rescue

Early in 1994, members of the Greater Louisville Golden Retriever Club began to see the need for an organization to rehabilitate and find homes for displaced and abused Golden Retrievers. A number of folks in this club began organizing an ad hoc rescue group. As the number of rescues increased over a period of months, this “wet behind the ears” group came up with a name and in 1996, incorporated the organization now known as Golden Retriever Rescue & Adoption of Needy Dogs (GRRAND). The rest, as they say, is history!
