My story

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

Cooper is a 5 year old, about 45ish lb, male Golden mix looking for a home where he is the only dog. He is new to GRRAND so we are still learning about him, but our GRRAND volunteer says this about Cooper: "Cooper is one amazing dog. He is athletic (very fast), snuggly, and eager to please. Cooper is a medium sized Golden mix with a fabulous, flowing, fluffy tail. Cooper enjoys the great outdoors, yet is also happy to be inside with his people. This handsome boy is one gem of a dog!"



Cooper does not get along with other dogs and will need a secure above ground fenced in yard. His past family who had him for 2 years have told GRRAND "We think Cooper has some separation anxiety as we were told it was likely that his old owners moved away and left him behind. We have had some challenges like him getting into the trash, taking food from the table, tearing up underwear, etc. I know that Cooper will be a successful pet with the right family who has time to put into training him and who are home more than not. I hate that we have to take the step to re-home him but we just aren't able to give him what he needs during this season of our lives. We fully expect Cooper to be a great companion for the right family. He is great with kids, really sweet, calm, playful, and has a lot of potential. With some training and the right home, he will be a great pet and thishas been a hard decision for us."



Cooper's new family will need to have the time and patience to work with him and give him the exercise and direction he needs to be a good boy. They will keep things off the floor and counters that he could be tempted to get into and eat. This boy is crate-trained and house-broken and with the dedication from his family, Cooper will make a great family companion! Cooper had free range of our home while we slept (also slept in our rooms/beds on occasion) and did fine with this. Cooper does great in the car (no vomiting or jumping around), but should not be left in the car by himself.

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!
