My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Nori is an 18 month old, about 50ish lb, sweet as can be and just beautiful female Golden Retriever who has been surrendered to GRRAND due to her medical needs. She was born with an ectopic ureter and has had surgery to help the issue and she is about 90% better now, but still has some leaking. Nori had to be let out every 4 hours during the day or she will not only have an accident, but will increase her chances of bladder infections! Her foster family has done an amazing job of taking care of her needs and she is now in an awesome health place and ready for her forever family!!! They say:

"Nori is functioning now as a normal dog without leaks and not needing a diaper!!! YAY!!! She is NOW potty trained, with no UTI’s and her vet check went great!! Here is the trick…a water routine. She gets 2 cups of ice cups in the morning and evening and she takes her medicine with food to avoid stomach upset. Nori is very playful, a great listener, great with kids and a major cuddlier!!! She would fit in well with any home or schedule. Now, she has to be properly cleaned on a regular basis, to prevent bladder infection and she will likely have recurring bladder infections, but keeping them as infrequent as possible is the idea. She will be evaluated at every vet vist but this beautiful girl is one not to let go!"

We are told by her former owner: "Nori is your classic golden! She's got basic obedience, loves water, started her on dock diving training, catching disc, no issues with kids/dogs/environments, crate trained, and a big cuddler. Honestly the best dog and a classic golden. She is a good thinker, very good and toy motivated."

If you have questions about her health/medical needs, or would like to meet this sweet girl, please fill out an app at GRRAND.org

More about this rescue

Early in 1994, members of the Greater Louisville Golden Retriever Club began to see the need for an organization to rehabilitate and find homes for displaced and abused Golden Retrievers. A number of folks in this club began organizing an ad hoc rescue group. As the number of rescues increased over a period of months, this “wet behind the ears” group came up with a name and in 1996, incorporated the organization now known as Golden Retriever Rescue & Adoption of Needy Dogs (GRRAND). The rest, as they say, is history!
