My story

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

UPDATE ON HARRY!!!!



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. 



This is Harry and he will need a home with an above ground securely fenced yard as he has ever been on leash and remains very fearful of people and is considered a flight risk at this time. We are happy to say he is in a foster home, and they say: 



"Harry is still doing very well in our foster home. He is listening much better, he still needs some work on his confidence but he is very responsive to corrections and managing his excitement. He loves his toys and knows where they are when he needs something to chew on. He is not an aggressive chewer, he has several plushie toys that he has not chewed through. He loves tags and peanut butter. He’s also an excellent soccer player. He’s very polite when meeting new people and loves playing with other dogs. We are still working on trusting the leash, he’s still very fearful of it. He’s not a huge fan of car rides but he tolerates them. He’s won over the cats in the house and learned to be respectful of the hisses, they can now comfortably nap as a group. His hair is growing in very nicely and he’s eating well. He’s a very handsome boy with a wonderful personality and is very smart, he will thrive with the love and security of a forever family."



If you would like to open up your heart and home to adopt Harry, please fill out an app at GRRAND.org, and if you would like to donate to his care, please visit the GOFUNDME link at https://www.gofundme.com/f/rescue-for-dogs-in-deplorable-conditions

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!
