My story

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

Butter Lou is an 8 year old, about 50ish lb, beautiful female Golden / Labrador Retriever who has been through a lot — but you’d never know it from her sweet, shining spirit. When she first came to us, her back legs were badly injured and carefully wrapped in dressings. She’s been such a trooper through her treatments and bandage changes, and she’s making steady progress every day. Her resilience and gentle heart are an inspiration to everyone who meets her.
She’s currently healing well and just finished her antibiotics for her wounds. She’s also recovering from a touch of kennel cough, but it hasn’t slowed her down one bit — her tail still wags nonstop.
When it comes to personality, she’s as kind and loving as they come. She’s never shown an ounce of aggression — just endless sweetness. She adores people, gets along beautifully with other dogs (especially her buddy Roscoe), and is wonderfully respectful of cats — even the sassy ones! She’s also gentle with children and lights up whenever she sees them.
Her only “quirk” is that she loves being near her humans. She’s happiest when she has company — whether that’s snuggling on the bed, lounging with her dog and cat friends, or just being in the same room as someone she loves. When left alone, she may bark a bit at first, but she settles down once she knows she’s safe.
She’s fully house-trained, never destructive, and an all-around easy, affectionate companion. She’s the kind of dog who wants to be part of your every moment — quietly loyal, endlessly patient, and deeply loving.
This girl has been through a lot, but she’s come out shining brighter than ever. She’s ready for a forever home where she can keep healing, keep loving, and keep being the sweet soul she was always meant to be. 

She may have ongoing issues with arthritis in her ankles, so adopters may need to be aware that she could need continued care for arthritis in ankles. She's currently on monthly Librela and she seems to be getting much better with appropriate medical care.

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!
