Story
I have had my dog since he was a puppy. He is a good dog, very friendly(although has a deep bark but is very nice once he can sniff you), he is very energetic during the day but mellows out if you can get his energy out. He is 6 almost 7 years old. Hasn’t had any health issues. Needs a family that can give him regular attention.

Story
I adopted my dog on October 29, 2025, and she is currently 10 months old. She is a young, active, affectionate, and playful dog with a lot of energy. As she is still a puppy, she has some common behavioral challenges such as chewing objects and having accidents indoors, especially when left alone for long periods. I am currently going through a difficult personal situation and, unfortunately, I am not able to give her the time, training, and attention she needs. She is in good physical health, although her vaccinations are not fully up to date. This is a very difficult decision for me, but my priority is her well-being and finding her a loving and stable home where she can thrive.

Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Gusty is a chill dog who loves cuddling with humans, walks, laying on cardboard, and socializing with other dogs. He is typically low energy and always wants to be on someone's lap although he is always happy to go outside and explore. He typically needs a walk every 1 or 2 days or he can get the zoomies. He loves sleeping in the room his humans are in and meeting new people. He is not cat friendly. Although he has never harmed one, he is always a little too interested for me to trust him alone with one. He is a medium-to-heavy shedder; he will definitely leave hair on your clothes when he cuddles you! He tolerates long car rides well and loves exploring new locations. He is a shelter dog so his age and breed are guesses. He has no health issues and is up to date on vaccines, last vet appointment was 01/23/26.

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##
