Story
Nigel is an 8 month old, 75ish lb, handsome male Golden Retriever who was surrendered to GRRAND as he was too rambunctious for his family and they could not handle him. They said "He just needs a family that is more active than us. We want him to find a family while he is still young. We live in a rural area and he does get along (through the fence) with cows, mules and horses and cats." He is said to get along with cats, but GRRAND has not cat tested him. He loves car rides, other dogs and all people he meets, but needs to be the only dog in the home. Nigel needs a strong owner who can make him a project with exercise and training, and a home with a fenced yard and someone who is home more of the day than not, to work with him as he is exhibiting some anxiety, and he can NOT be crated. This sweet boy also needs a family who is committed to giving him the exercise and direction he needs to grow up to be a good boy. Nigel is just a puppy and he has lots of energy and his new family will need to have the time and patience to work with him on obedience training. He can be mouthy and pushy and will need an experienced owner who can handle those behaviors appropriately along with seeing he gets good exercise and appropriate boundaries in his new home and this will happen best with a training committment. "He is a good boy, he just doesn’t know how to channel his exuberance just yet".     Nigel loves to take walks and play with toys and has proven to be completely house-trained, but as stated, can NOT be crated. Any applicant with children under the age of 16, will require a home with direct access to a securely fenced yard… so this means no apartments or condos. If you would like to meet Nigel, please fill out an app at GRRAND.org   ##2548014##

Story
Lexi is a 5 year old, female Golden Retriever at about 50ish lbs, looking for a home where she will have a secure and safe yard to run and play in. She is being surrendered as: "We can not afford her. We’ve also moved to Louisville and she keeps escaping the yard. We live near dixie Highway and I’m worried about cars and her getting taken." She is crate-trained and "We just say “go night night” and she goes to her crate. Crate is used at night and if we are away or have company (she’s hyper and jumps). She is said to get along well with other dogs and can be a bit shy when meeting new people." She will need a home where they will have the time and patience to work with her and give her the socialization she needs. We are still learning about Lexi, so please check back later for more info, but if you would like to meet her, please fill out an app at GRRAND.org ##2370414##

Story
Maggie is a 6 month old, 50ish lb, female Golden/Lab mix looking for her forever familiy that has the time and patience to work with her on obedience training and can give her the exercise and direction she needs as a youg puppy. Sadly her owners are re-homing her as Maggie is a bit too much for them and they are unable to manage her the way she needs to be managed. A home with a fenced in yard for her to run and play and no kids under 12 is best, as she has no idea of her own strength. Maggie is house-trained and crate-trained and does stay in her crate when her people are away. Maggie is a very friendly, very active, healthy, well cared for, well loved dog. She is very playful but as a young pup, can play with a lot of force and speed. As a typical puppy, she is in non-stop motion and needs to be kept busy. She does jump on people and can mouthy with hands and arms, and hits with her paw to demand attention. She needs training and in short, she has usual puppy behaviors but they are dialed up to 10! She has not had much exposure with other dogs, so her new owners will need to be committed to socialization and training. If you would like to meet Ms Maggie puppy, please fill out an app at GRRAND.org ##2613135##

Story
Dom came to the kennel in mid-December after being taken in by a shelter after he was found running loose with another dog, and they were out of room and called GRRAND. He is a 2 year old sweet, gentle giant, mostly Golden Retriever, but mixed with another large breed dog. He currently weighs almost 90 lbs, but needs to pack on another 10 lbs. He loves to be petted. He loves most other dogs (not dominant male dogs). He plays every day with Solara and Aurora! We are walking him off premise and he does great on leash. He's had no accidents in his kennel run despite the suspicion we have that he spent most of his time outdoors before coming to us. He falls in love with his people quickly, and will cry when we leave him!. We think he'd do best in a home where people are around a lot of the time. We are still about Dom, but we know he's ready to go to a forever home (or foster) and if you would like to meet him, please fill out an app at GRRAND.org ##2612679##
