Story

Luna is a 3 year old, 70ish lb Golden Retriever who is being surrendered with her bonded sister Bella who is also 3 years old and about 70lbs. These girls will not be separated and must be adopted together. Unfortunately their owner has had some surgeries that have made it unable for him to care for them the way they need, and he has made the tough decision to re-home the girls. Our GRRANDS volunteer says "This bonded pair is fun and fabulous, and are very sweet and affectionate. They love having time to play outdoors. Bella and Luna love to chase balls and carry them around." They are both crate-trained and sleep in their crates and are house-trained and are trusted to have free roam of the house when left alone. They are your typical lovely Golden Girls looking for a family who will have the patience and time to work with them on their adjustment period to their new home. We are still learning about them, so please check back for more info. If you would like to meet them, please fill out an app at GRRAND.org ##2596368##

Story

Bandit is a 4 year old, mid sized, male Golden Retriever looking for a home where are no other dogs or small kids... a place with not a lot of chaos. Sadly, the family has raised him since a puppy, brought a male Australian Shepard (3) and little dog (2) into the family before being surprised with twin girls 16 months ago. The dogs behavior changed negatively during her pregnancy and the two bigger dogs cannot be in the same space due to serious fighting. They say "Our dogs developed litter mate syndrome. We want to surrender him because he has a lot of anxiety and it makes us nervous with having young children." Bandit is a beautiful, slim build Golden with a sweet disposition that is existing in a chaotic situation due to all the recent changes in their lives. Add each parent starting a new job to the daily craziness and twin babies as well. Bandit will do very well is a quieter household. No other dog is probably ideal and older children would probably be ok. He is not a jumper or chewer that we observed. Our GRRAND volunteer says "Bandit will settle into a new environment quite easily after watching him act and react to the various stimulus during our visit. He appears to be initially “skittish or anxious” around people or situations exhibiting this same behavior. He will excell in a home devoted to him which he certainly deserves." Bandit would do well in a quiet household with someone who can put the time and effort into him. He has very bad anxiety so lots of things scare him. An only dog household with no small children would be perfect. He is house-trained and has full run of the house while the family is away. He is crate-trained but does not have a need for that anymore. Thingsin his life changed and it was too much for him, but with a family who has the time and patience to work with him on socialization, exercise and direction, we feel Bandit will make a great addition to a new family. Bandit is a great Golden waiting for his new forever home and if you would like to meet Bandit, please fill out an ap at GRRAND.org ##2589875##

Story

He’s 8 years old, 40lbs, kennel trained. He’s used to me being gone long hours for work. Has had multiple pet sitters when I travel. Good in care rides. Has used an invisible fence before. He’s not very good with other dogs, and is hit or miss with cats. He loves people though. He’s got a bit of energy but also loves his naps and can be a bit of a cuddle bug at times.
