My story

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

Jet is a 4 month old male Golden/Shepherd mix (mother was a Golden, father was a German Shepherd) at about 20lbs right now.

He is sadly being surrendered by his family as they feel he needs more training and work on his resource guarding tendencies and fears. They say "As a four-month-old puppy, he is not aggressive but does show fearfulness around strangers and other dogs. I have been actively working on counter-conditioning to help him feel more comfortable. While we’ve socialized him well to minimize this behavior, it’s still a work in progress. Thankfully, he is young and has plenty of potential for improvement with continued effort. If we didn’t have children or frequent interactions with other young kids, I would feel more confident continuing to work on these behaviors. His resource guarding is well-managed, but it is a tendency he has displayed. He is such a sweet and loving boy, and this decision is heartbreaking for me. While he adores our family, I am concerned about some of the behavioral tendencies he has shown. I want to find him a home that better fits his needs while he is still young."

His new family will need to have the time and patience to provide Jet with the exercise and direction he needs to work on his behaviors. As we learn more, we will update, but if you would like to meet Jet, 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!
