My story

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

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.

As we continue to assess the individual needs of these deserving animals, additional information to come, so please check back for more updates... This is Pike and he is believed to be Golden/Great Pyr/Lab mix, and he is ready for his forever family. Pike will need a home with an above ground securely fenced yard as he is considered a flight risk due to lack of socialization and human love. He will need a family with the time and patience to work with him through any insecurities he may have.

If you would like to donate to Pike's care, please visit 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!
