My story

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

Dove is a 16 month old, 35ish lb, Chocolate Lab who was "used" as a breeder dog, and is so needing a very special family. When they were "finished" with her, she was placed with a young woman who was told by the breeder that she was a little timid, but would come around in a few days. As we know with unsocialized breeder dogs, that’s not the way it works! Dove is going to need another stable/confident dog in the home, an above ground fenced yard and an experienced adult household with folks who are willing to put the time and patience into working with her. She is most comfortable around other dogs and another stable dog in the home, can help with her adjustments and confidence building.

She is going to need TIME... LOTS OF TIME! And PATIENCE... LOTS OF PATIENCE. Dogs like Dove who have never known love and affection from people, have to work through everything on their own time... not ours. We are still learning about Dove, but if you have had any experience with dogs like Dove, and you think you are the one to help her, 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!
