UPDATE ON LARUE!!!!
A beacon of hope shines bright as GRRAND and animal advocates across the commonwealth collaborate to 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. As we continue to assess the individual needs of these deserving animals, additional information coming soon, but please take a minute to meet Ms Larue... We are happy to say she is in a foster home with a comfy bed, a warm onsie, and a family who is offering her any love she will take. They say:
Hello all, we're pleased to introduce Larue, who is one of the rural County hoarding dogs. Larue is an older gal (thought to be a Golden/Lab/Great Pyr mix) who lived in horrendous conditions and suffered years of neglect. She has had several litters of puppies and while she is super sweet, sadly she was super scared of the world, but has really come out of her shell.
Afraid at first, Larue has blossomed since her rescue. She's dog-friendly, house-trained, crate-trained, an excellent companion and just an all around great pup. While leash training remains ongoing, significant strides have been made.
Watching her grow is delightful. Given her background, we're impressed with Larue's resilience. She's discovering her canine nature, and it's heartwarming.
Larue is spayed and fully vetted, making her completely ready to be your new family member. All Larue wants is a family, and we hope she finds one soon.
It was discovered at her vet appointment she had a tumor on her spleen so she is also recovering from spleen removal, spay, and a mammary tumor removal. GRRAND needs donations to care for these dogs as almost all of the dogs that have been taken from that property are sick, so please donate to help them if you can!"
Larue will be looking for a home that has a secure above ground fenced yard, as she has never been socialized and is considered a flight risk. Her new family will need to be committed to having the time to work with her through her fears and insecurities, as this will take time.
