Story
We are very happy to report that Marion, one of our rural county rescue dogs, that came from an awful hoarding situation, gave birth to 5 healthy puppies and they all have found their forever families and now it is Marion's turn to find her forever family! Marion is about 55lbs, and she is believed to be a Golden/Lab mix. She will need a home with an above ground securely fenced yard as she is considered a flight risk due to lack of socialization and human love. She will need a family with the time and patience to work with her through any insecurities she may have.  We are happy to report she is in a foster home and this is what they have to say: "Since coming to live with us at the beginning of December, sweet Marion has made wonderful progress! She's gone from not wanting to go outside the first three days, to wanting to stay outside for longer periods of time. She was unsure of our two Goldens when she first arrived, but now they get along just fine. She does bark at our neighbor dogs along the fence but, when walking, she hasn't been reactive to dogs we meet along the way, and she walks really well on leash. She's been to visit some human friends while on our walks and is quite a polite lady.She understands what treats are now and takes them gently from your hands - she likes string cheese, hot dogs, little Smart Bones and Smart Sticks. She will now come and stand with our Goldens to receive treats. There are no issues sharing toys with our dogs, but she prefers soft toys. She has "destuffed" several and likes to chew on the left over skin. She is still learning the difference between toys and household items. She also enjoys chewing on peanut butter filled bones.Our porch/mudroom and her bed are her safe places. She didn't leave that room for weeks after coming to live with us, but now she is more brave and curious - she ventures out into our kitchen and living room often. Her biggest issue is with hardwood floors - she doesn't want to walk on them. We moved runners from our hallway to make a path to our front door and living room. She LOVES to look out our back and front doors and bark at anything that walks by. As you can see from the pictures, she is learning to be a seasoned Couch Potato!She now runs out into the backyard with our girls and loves exploring and watching over our backyard. Now that the weather is warmer, she seems to want to stay out for longer periods of time.She is house trained - never had an accident since she arrived.  We do not crate her or limit where she can go when we leave for short periods of time. At first, she wasn't a fan of her crate, but she now sleeps in it every night. When we move her bed to the crate each night, she knows it's time for bed. Marion is the sweetest girl!! She loves to be petted - especially when she's sitting or laying down. She still shys away if you try to pet her while standing up and she is soooo close to moving in to us to be petted. We are currently a two-adult-only household, so she is unsure about new people and will bark at them in the house. We haven't had any young children around other than when she first arrived and was still skittish about everything, so still not sure about young children at this time. She is still skittish about new and different sounds, so young children might take her a while to warm up to. She doesn't like seeing our neighbor's cat walk across the back fence, so we are thinking she will not be a cat-friendly dog, but it isn't a sure thing.She will definitely need someone with lots of time and patience, as I believe she will need to establish routines to feel safe in a new place. She has lots of love to give and loves getting love!!!!!" A beacon of hope shines bright as GRRAND and animal advocates across the commonwealth collaborate to help rescue animals trapped in a devastating hoarding situation on a rural County Kentucky farm. Advocates eagerly await justice for the abused animals and the swift rescue of those still suffering in inhumane conditions.  It's awful to think of the terrible lives and abuse they have been subjected to. We have extremely high vet expenses for these dogs and really need ongoing donations to pay for all their care and we are also in desperate need of foster homes for these dogs.  If you would like to open your home to foster or adopt Marion, please fill out an app at GRRAND.org or if you would like to donate to the care of these needy dogs, please click the GOFUNDME link to learn more... https://www.gofundme.com/f/rescue-for-dogs-in-deplorable-conditions ##2180246##

Story
This sweet, adorable little boy has just arrived to GRRAND and his name is Shadow. He is a Black Lab mix, and he is apparently 9 months old, and very much a puppy. He is very loving and just wants to snuggle. He's scared of all the big dogs at GCS so we need a home quickly. He weights about 20 lbs, is apparently crate trained (I think he spent way too much time in a crate) and apparently housebroken, though he did mess in his kennel run - but it's been a stressful day for this little fellow!  He was surrendered and we are told: "it was never my plan to keep him long term but someone was ready to drop him off on the side of the road. My heart was broken watching that happen, so I took him and tried to train him and build him to find a forever home and my apartment doesn’t allow dogs so I’ve been looking for 4 months to find a home for him with no luck. Shadow is crate-trained and is needing a family who will have the time and patience to work with a puppy and give himmplenty of exerice and direction.  We are still learnging about Shadow, but if you would like to bust him out of the kennel, please fill out an app at GRRAND.org ##2575115##

Story
Pike was one of the Spencer County hoarding dogs taken in by GRRAND last year in 2024. Pike is a beautiful, almost 4 year old, Lab/Golden mix, who is such a sweet girl and has come a long way during her last couple of weeks at the GRRAND kennel. She's still a nervous, but accepts treats and loves to be petted. She does great with other dogs, and it would be best for her to have another confident/stable dog in the house to show her the ropes to show her that love from people is good and to help her build her own confidence. As with all the Spencer County dogs, she is a flight risk, so a secure above ground fenced yard is needed and no small children. Pike is ready to go home to a family that will have the patience and compassion to work through her insecurities with her, and give her the time she needs for that to happen. If you would like to open your home to foster or adopt Pike, please fill out an app at GRRAND.org    A beacon of hope shines bright as GRRAND and animal advocates across the commonwealth collaborate to help rescue animals trapped in a devastating hoarding situation on a rural County Kentucky farm. Advocates eagerly await justice for the abused animals and the swift rescue of those still suffering in inhumane conditions.  It's awful to think of the terrible lives and abuse they have been subjected to. A litter of 4 week old puppies were found on the property and all had to be treated at the Emergency Vet for Parvo to save their lives and sadly, one did not make it. We have extremely high vet expenses for these dogs and really need ongoing donations to pay for all their care and we are also in desperate need of foster homes for these dogs.  If you would like to donate to Pike's care, or the other Spencer County dogs still in GRRAND's care, please visit https://www.gofundme.com/f/rescue-for-dogs-in-deplorable-conditions   ##2190855##

Story
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.

Story
I'm Penny and am very pleased to meet you! I'm a beautiful pure Golden Retriever, 4+ years old. I came to GRRAND in early 2022, so I have been in the kennel for a while. I can be a bit grouchy if you try and take one of my prize possessions away from me, usually a stick, but my close kennel buddies know to trick me with a treat for my stick! It works out beautifully, and don't tell them, but honestly, I get the better deal . Oh, and they said if anyone wanted to take me home they would teach them the same trick! I do love it at the kennel! I get love, two meals a day, and have a warm bed of my own in my 6' x 6' cozy kennel run. I even have a glass door to look out of; Tyg and Adam are across the way so we have nice conversations when the kennel team isn't around. I get to go outside with my favorite people at least three times a day. We play in the yard, go for walks, and sometimes go on field trips to the park and Starbucks. I love going to the pool in the summer, but my favorite is office time where I get to be petted and do stimulation games (and earn treats)! But my kennel guy seems sad these days; He says I'm getting 'institutionalized' at the kennel. I don't mind being in my cozy kennel run 20 hours a day, but he says I deserve better, like a home with people who love me and who will spend time with me. We have a radio at the kennel (Christmas carols playing now), but he says I should be able to watch Hallmark movies and Animal Planet on TV, whatever that is!! I think I'm his favorite, but don't tell Tyg! So just to make him happy I guess I'm ready to go home with a great person or couple this Christmas. I have been at the kennel for almost 1000 days so going to a loving home would be an amazing Christmas gift. I realize I'm not 'Buddy The Elf' but the wonderful team at GRRAND love me (and I them) and they are committed to finding the right home for me and giving the family the right tools and education to make my adoption a success. Please consider fostering or adopting me in the very near future. Merry Christmas, Love Penny XOXO Penny is an absolutely beautiful 3 year old Golden Retriever who needs a very specific home! Please read all about her needs before applying! Penny is happy, tail wagging, and if she knows you, extremely friendly! After coming to GRRAND, we learned she had resource guarding tendencies, and she spent time with our excellent trainers and behaviourists to evaluate her needs. What we have learned is that Penny does resource guard certain items, and she can be sensitive around her head. Our kennel manager has spent a lot of time with Penny, and they have a close bond. He reports that Penny takes awhile to be comfortable and trust a person, but when she does trust you, she's an awesome dog who is very loyal and loving. We have a small team who handle her daily, and she loves to play and run outside, go for walks, do mental stimulation games (she is very smart!), and hang out in the office with her person. Penny needs the right home with a dog-savvy family who understands how dogs communicate. She will give a warning (ex. growl) if something is going on she doesn't like. This is Penny’s way of telling us she wants us to stop doing something, which is great! Her home must have no children or other animals, either in the home or visiting (e.g., grandchildren who come over). We would do a slow introduction period with several visits to the kennel and to her potential home to help build a bond, along with resource guarding training so we are sure the adopter/foster knows Penny's triggers and how to deal with them. And, as a young Golden, Penny will need plenty of high-quality exercise. If you are looking for a dog to take to family gatherings or breweries, Penny is not for you. But if you want to truly rescue a dog that just needs patience, understanding, love and training, Penny will reward you with an abundance of love and loyalty If you think you could be a good fit for Penny, please submit an application so you can connect and learn more! grrand.org/adopt grrand.org/foster-a-golden-retriever-with-grrand GRRAND dogs are looking for homes in Greater Louisville, Greater Lexington, and Greater Cincinnati and Dayton.

Story
Theodore is a 6ish year old Golden/Great Pyr mix who was found as a stray at large, and after hold time was up, GRRAND took him and another dog in. Both in very bad shape, and the other sadly didn't make it.  Theodore is in a temporary foster home and is doing just great! He is blind in one eye with only partial vision in the other, and will need an above ground securely fenced in yard for his safety. We are told he is house-trained and does not need a crate as he is quite the gentleman with good manners. He sleeps in the room at night with his foster and has full run of the house when they are not home. He is a very mellow dude, and likes to play, but really likes to watch the other dogs play more. Theodore gets along with other dogs, and if there was another dog in his new home, that would be fine but he really would love all the attention as an only dog too. He's just a chill guy who really dosn't care much for toys, but LOVES his nightly belly rubs!!! Theodore walks ok on leash and is mastering that everyday. He is just looking for a home where he will have a warm and loving family forever.  We are still learning about Theo, but if you would like to meet this sweet boy, please fill out an app at GRRAND.org   ##2413211##

Marlo #7390

Golden Retriever

Female, 1 yr 8 mos
Louisville, KY
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Marlo is a 1.5 year old, about 45ish lb, female Golden Retriever who was surrendered with her BFF Dean. Dean is a 2 year old, 85ish lb, male St Bernard/Collie mix, and these 2 are looking for a home where they can stay together. Sadly, they were surrendered due to a divorce situation and their people had too many dogs to handle and these 2 came to GRRAND. Both Dean and Marlo are cat friendly (very as they lived with many cats) and get along with other dogs. They are both crate-trained and house-trained and have full run of the house when their people were not home.  Marlo is a petite golden who is very sweet and is coming out of her shell. Marlo takes a few minutes to study nearby humans but will then approach you for affection. Marlo loves to play with Dean, to whom she is bonded with and finds confidence in, with having him around. Marlo is a bit anxious as she is also unsure of what is happening and has a lot of energy and would be great in a home with someone who can spend a lot of time working with her, and give her plenty of the exercise outlets for her energy level. She loves toys and is always carrying at least one around with her at all times. Dean is pleasant and calm, but still unsure of why his surroundings have changed.  We are still learning about Marlo and Dean, but if you would like to meet them, please fill out an app at GRRAND.org ##2557157##
