My story

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

UPDATE ON HARRY!!!!

This is Harry and he will need a home with an above ground securely fenced yard. We are happy to say he is in a foster home, and they say:

2-21-25 "Harry is beyond brave, and SO ready to find his forever family. He currently is being fostered in a home with 4 and 6yo boys, he is safe with small kids. There is not a mean bone in his body, he hardly ever barks, and isn’t worried about people coming in and out of the house. Harry loves cats, dogs and humans. Harry aims to please, he is very responsive and looks for approval. Harry’s confidence has improved and he is more open to new surroundings. His hair is still growing in, the coat he has is so soft and white. He eats well, never begs for human food. Harry has learned the difference between his toys and kids’ toys. His crate is his safe space and if he feels uncomfortable that’s where you’ll find him. He is a perfect family lab, and he would love to have another dog or cat to play and snuggle with!"

1-25 "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!
