My story

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

Bessi is a 5 year old, about 50ish lb, female Golden Retriever who is looking for a laid back home that is willing to help her get through her heartworm treatment. Bessi is dealing with some anxiety issues ansd will need someone who is home more than not, as she needs to overcome some fears. She is said to be good with other dogs, but not with cats. Our volunteer who helped to transport Bessi says "I just spent a few hours with Bessi transporting her to GRRAND. Bessi is the sweetest dog as she just wants to snuggle and sit near you. She rode just fine in the crate in the car. Bessi is underweight and is treat motivated and definitely a flight risk because she is timid and shy, however she really likes people, so she will need a secure above ground fenced yard to help keep her safe. I was told by the person who I picked her up from, that she gets very upset to hear raised voices, thunder or various loud noises. It seems Bessi needs a quiet, calm home with older folks that have 1 or 2 other quiet, calm dogs...and with people who are home a lot and will work with her so she knows she is safe and that the world can be good to her. It was a great way for me to spend an afternoon with such a sweet girl! She is stunningly beautiful and hope she finds her forever family soon!"

She is crate trained and is said to find that as her "safe place". We arre unsure of her past, but we know she will need a patient family who is willing to help her work through her insecurities.

Since she is heartworm positive, her home will need to be laid back and relatively calm as she needs to stay calm during her treatments.

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!
