Story

Lucy is a 9-year-old spayed Lab mix with an incredible rescue story. We found her as a tiny puppy living inside an old tire, covered in fleas with severe mange and badly damaged ears. With love and care, she grew into a healthy, beautiful 70-pound companion. Lucy is calm around the house but still enjoys playing. She has a big voice, an enthusiastic play growl, and is known for her adorable grumbles when she's sleepy and doesn't want to be disturbed. She isn't motivated by treats, but she loves praise, affection, and cuddling with her people. Lucy needs to be the only pet in an adult-only home. She has had serious incidents with other dogs, though she has never been aggressive toward people. She is deeply loyal and bonds closely with her family. Finding Lucy a new home is heartbreaking, and we're committed to finding someone who will love and understand this special girl.

Story

Pike is one of the Spencer County hoarding dogs taken in by GRRAND in late 2024, and this beautiful girl had made incredible progress since arriving at the kennel. She is a 4-year-old, approximately 50-pound Lab/Golden mix with a soft heart and an even softer spirit. This girl is a Gentle Soul Ready for Her Second Chance! She has waited for so long for her turn, and we are happy to report she is in a foster home and she is doing great! They say "Pike is ready for her fresh start! She’s had a tough beginning, so she’s still very shy. She wants to meet people, but she’s not quite brave enough for pets yet. (see below May update) Pike does great with other dogs and would thrive in a home with a confident, stable canine companion who can help show her the ropes and demonstrate that love from people is a wonderful thing. Having another dog to lean on will help Pike continue building her confidence. She’s sweet, gentle, housebroken and crate trained. Such a good girl who just needs patience and love to truly shine. If you have a calm home and a big heart, Pike could be your perfect match. Share to help this sweet girl find her forever family!" May update: "She is continuing to make progress and get more comfortable! Seems happy always wagging her tail and loves to spend time outside in the yard. She is great with other dogs and still a bit timid with new people, but once she knows you will warm up. She's seeking out pets from her foster mom and is confident to go upstairs!" Pike is one of the Spencer County hoarding dogs taken in by GRRAND in late 2024, and this beautiful girl had made incredible progress since arriving at the kennel. She is a 4-year-old, approximately 50-pound Lab/Golden mix with a soft heart and an even softer spirit. While Pike is still a bit nervous as she continues to learn that the world can be a safe place, she’s come a long way. She happily accepts treats from volunteers and absolutely loves being petted once she feels comfortable. Her sweet nature truly shines through when given patience and kindness. Because Pike is a flight risk, a secure, above-ground fenced yard is required, and a home without small children would be best for her comfort and safety. Pike is ready for a loving home with a family who understands that healing takes time—and who can offer the patience, compassion, and unconditional love she deserves. In return, Pike will reward you with quiet devotion and a heart full of gratitude. If you would like to open your home to 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.

Story

Daisy (5 year old Lab mix about 60lbs) and her sister Stella (3 year old Goldendoodle about 60lbs) are looking for a home where they will be adopted together and stay together forever. Their owner passsed away and friends took the girls in to help to find them a home. This is what we have been told: Daisy: walks okay on a leash but needs more practice. Daisy paces and has anxiety during storms. When we first brought the girls into the home, our senior dog did not like them and they would get in tiffs, but since they have been very calm with one another other and don't really interact with her much. When Daisy first arrived, she had a significant flea infestation. Since then, she has been consistently treated with flea/tick prevention and has settled in nicely. She is petite, sweet and after her initial excitement upon meeting someone, she is “chill.” Stella: is a sweet, playful dog with a puppy-like personality who would thrive in a home that can continue working on her training, confidence, and leash skills. She is crate trained, and deeply bonded to Daisy. We are hoping to find a rescue placement that will allow the girls to remain together and continue receiving the love and stability they deserve. Daisy and Stella have become very loved in our home and have made significant progress adjusting to a stable environment. The girls were very skinny when they were first "rescued" and their family has done everything to help get them back to a healthy weight and good health in general. The girls are crated separately during the day on work days and also any errand runs. They consider their crates as “safe zones” during the day and may enter even with the family at home. They have free run when they are home with the dogs. They ALWAYS choose to sleep together in an XL crate every evening. They will need a secure fenced yard as that is considered their "exercise zone". Stella is still young and has plenty of energy to burn. These girls are currently living with the family who rescued them and they have a 3 yr old child that the dogs have done well with. The dogs have been with this family for a couple of months, but prior to that, they lived with an older couple who passed away. Our volunteer says "This is definitely a bonded pair of very petite dogs that adore and love eachother and can't be separated." If you are looking for a sweet pair of girls to bring into your home and have the time and committment to help them during their adjustment period, please fill out an app at GRRAND.org ##2760366##

Story

Meet Kenton Kenton is one of the Spencer County hoarding dogs taken in by GRRAND in late 2024, and this handsome boy has made incredible progress since arriving at the kennel. At just 3 years old and around 50 pounds, Kenton is a beautiful Lab/Golden mix with a gentle soul. Kenton is super sweet and enjoys playing with other dogs. Thanks to the dedication of the kennel team, he has come a long way and is now ready to take the next big step—finding his forever home. We are happy to report that he is in a foster home and they say: "Kenton is continuing to open up a bit more. He loves his pack. His favorite things are zoomies with his pack, toys and his dog bed. He is striving and is ready for his forever home. He loves people, kids, dogs but also likes his space." Because Kenton has never been on a leash and can be a bit fearful of people at first, he will need a home with a securely fenced, above-ground yard where he can safely explore and gain confidence. A home with another confident, stable dog would be ideal, as a canine companion will help Kenton continue learning that the world (and people!) are kind and safe. Kenton is looking for a patient, loving family who will give him the time, understanding, and affection he deserves. In return, he’ll reward you with quiet loyalty, sweet companionship, and plenty of tail wags once he feels secure. Could you be the family Kenton has been waiting for to show him patience, love, and lots of gentle pets? Please check back for updates on Kenton...

Story

UPDATE on Dove 6-7-2025: Dove is a 16 month old, 35ish lb, Chocolate Lab who was "used" as an Amish breeder dog that GRRAND took in, in 2024. When they were "finished" with her, she was placed with a young woman who was told by the breeder that she was a little timid, but would come around in a few days. As we know with unsocialized breeder dogs, that’s NOT the way it works! We've had a trainer working with Dove and she's now walking better on a leash - inside the kennel boundaries. She will probably never be the dog you take for walks as Dove will be happiest in a very calm, (no kids or chaos) patient, and emotionally secure home with a secure above ground fenced yard (she will be a big flight risk) and another confident/stable dog to show her how to trust people and help build her own confidence. Her people will need to be experienced and committed to giving her the time, and having the patience she will need to go through her adjustments. Dove is most comfortable around other confident dogs. She is making slow but sure progress thanks to the hard work and determination of the GRRAND kennel staff. The work is not done, but the signs are there she will be ok! From her intake 2024 "A young lady surrendered Dove to GRRAND almost six months ago. She had been deceived by an Amish breeder, claiming Dove was 'shy', and assuring the young lady she was getting an exceptional deal and that Dove would quickly come around. It turned out Dove had almost completely shut down, so overwhelmed with fear of people that all she wanted to do was escape. It's heartbreaking how slow progress has been, but the good news is, there is progress. She has such fear in her eyes. She will poop and pee if a stranger approaches her in her kennel. She runs in the play yard with several other friendly dogs, but rarely interacts with any of them. She will not come up to a volunteer, even for a treat. We were told by a trainer that many other rescues would have euthanized a dog that was 'so broken'. But that's not GRRAND. On the improvement side, we now have her on a long leash following the trainers around the play yard. People she's very familiar with can sit in her run, pet her, and leave treats at her feet.. She understands when it's time to come in from the play yard, and will run to her kennel on command. She now has a roommate (Ivy), and we're seeing them snuggle next to each other. Dove has never shown any aggression to animals or people. We are still a long way from being able to send Dove home and progress is slow, but it's there, and one day in the not too distant future we look forward to seeing that twinkle in her eye that all dogs get when they realize they are safe and loved. Please keep Dove in your thoughts and follow her progress." She is going to need TIME... LOTS OF TIME! And PATIENCE... LOTS OF PATIENCE. Dogs like Dove who have never known love and affection from people, have to work through everything on their own time... not ours. We are still learning about Dove, but if you have had any experience with dogs like Dove, and you think you are the one to help her, please fill out an app at GRRAND.org ##2222361##
