My story

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

We are very happy to report that Marion, one of our rural county rescue dogs, that came from an awful hoarding situation, gave birth to 5 healthy puppies... and say what???  One of her little girls (the 5th and last puppy) just happens to be a beautiful shade of LIGHT GREEN! This will disappear over the next few weeks but that makes her pretty special cause only one in 10,000 light colored dogs are born this way!!!!



Mom and babies are healthy and resting. Get your applications in to adopt these sweet babies and momma so they can have the life they deserve!



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 Marion, about 55lbs, and she is believed to be Golden/Great Pyr/Lab mix, and she is ready for her forever family. She will need a home with an above ground securely fenced yard as she is considered a flight risk due to lack of socialization and human love. She will need a family with the time and patience to work with her through any insecurities she may have. 



If you would like to open your home to foster or adopt Marion, please fill out an app at GRRAND.org or if you would like to donate to the care of these needy dogs, please click the GOFUNDME link to learn more... 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!
