My story

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

Chip is a 7ish, 50ish lb, Black Lab who is on the search for his new forever family. He was surrendered to GRRAND as he was not adjusting well to the 3 young kids that had become part of his family in the last few years. Chip is looking for a calm, non-chaotic home, with kids over the age of 16, where he will get all of the TLC he so deserves. He is house-trained and has full run of the house at night and when his people are away. They say: "Chip is really sweet and he just needs more attention than we can give to him with our 3 young kids. He is loyal and loves to go on walks."



Chip is at the kennel and the staff says: When he first arrived at the kennel a couple of weeks ago he was confused, anxious, and looking for his owner to return and get him. But after a short while he has become a favorite at the kennel and the perfect resident! Chip is a super sweet active boy.
He's been at the GCS kennel for six weeks now apart from a short visit to an older lady who fostered him. She said he'd climb on her Lazy Boy recliner every night to snuggle with her. Sadly she realized that he was too big for her to walk.
Chip is only 48 lbs, and walks great on a leash. He has been nothing other than a sweetheart at the kennel and the volunteers love walking him on the trail. He's always looking for ways to get right next to you for a cuddle! He loves the other dogs at the kennel, so he could go to a home with the right dog.
This boy has spent most of his life in a loving home. He's finding it hard to adjust to kennel life. Please consider taking Chip into your home for foster or adoption.



He loves other dogs and all people. He's on the smaller side, maybe 45 lbs, and he loves to jump up on the bench and snuggle right next to you. He is playful and will chase a ball. and he 's an excellent walker, no pulling, and he's taken on the GCS trail every day by the volunteers. 



He really likes some of our long term dogs, specifically Penny and Ross; so much so he's shown the ability to climb a 4' chain link fence to get to them for play time! Because of that he will need either a wrought iron or 6' fence, or a commitment to leash walk all the time. We really hope this sweet boy can find a home quickly, and whoever takes him will be a lucky person"  



Who wants to be the lucky one to bring this sweet boy into your home (AND GET HIM OUT OF THE KENNEL) and give him the love and attention he is so desperately looking for?



If you would like to foster Chip and help bust him out of the kennel, or be his forever family and adopt him, please fill out an app at GRRAND.org

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!
