My story

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

Toretto is a 4 year old, male Golden Retriever about 65ish lbs, sadly being surrendered as his family is in a place where they can't give him the time, exercise and direction he really needs and deserves. 



He is crate-trained (sleeps in it at night and when left alone) and house-trained and "He does love to 'dance' as we call it. He wants to jump on his hind legs to dance and give hugs." Toretto is very friendly and still acts like a puppy. He has lots of energy and his family just does not have the time to give him the energy outlet he needs. He minds her commands but he does jump on people - behavior she said she hasn’t been able to stop. He currently lives with 2 kids... 6 and 10 years old who have been with Torrento since he was 2 months old, so he has been around kids his whole life. He gets along well with other dogs and is said to have visited a home with a cat, and he ignored the cat. (GRRAND has not cat tested him)



He has tried to escape the yard, but it is believed it was out of boredom. His new family will need to have the time to give him the energy and exercise outlet he needs to keep him happy and out of trouble. This boy is a typical young and very lovable Golden looking to get lots of affection, be social and have fun with his family. He is smart and learns quickly so he will adapt to a new home with some training and help with adjustments. Another dog to play with or someone who is willing to walk him and/or is willing to play with him in the yard is what he needs. (Some rough and tumble young boys to roll around with would be good for him too LOL)

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!
