My story

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

Ryder is a 6.5 year old male Golden Retriever weighing about 70ish lbs looking for his forever family at no fault of his own. We are told "Our dog is very loved. He is apart of our family and this is not an easy decision, but is what is best for Ryder. I have recently come into a new career and work long hours and have gone through a relationship separation so I no longer have the support to not only give him the care/attention he needs, but also the financial support needed. We believe he has some sort of a food allergy as he can have skin breakouts/flare-ups. He is the sweetest, happiest dog I have ever had, but his itching seems miserable. He gets hot spots (that I thoroughly care for by cleaning and using medicated sprays/ointments and medicated shampoos) and gets itchy paws. I believe that if his allergies were sorted out, he would have zero issues for most families. I have three young children that he loves to snuggle. He is a happy goofy well mannered dog. Knows his sit, stay, place, and heel. Loves doing treat training. During storms he just likes to be held or pet. Will start panting but doesn’t chew or urinate or anything like that. Just gets a bit close and snuggly."



Ryder is house-trained and has full roam of the house when left alone and is truly a great dog. His family is making this hard decision as it is what they feel is best for Ryder. His new famiky will need to be committed to giving him the exercise and direction he needs and have the time to help him through his new home adjustments.

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!
