My story

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

Cassidy is a 4 year, 7 month old female Golden (105lbs... very overweight) and her brother Comet who is 6 years 4 months old at 78 lbs, have been surrendered to GRRAND as their owner has severe health issues which have taken her ability to take care of her dogs away, and GRRAND was contacted. We are told they are both house-broken, and have full run of the house while left alone. They did not get regualr exercise, so these 2 will need a new diet and exercise program.

We are happy to report they are in a foster home and they say: " Comet and Cassidy are such a delight. First night was rough since they are so huge compared to my current dogs, however they’ve already melted our hearts. Some lucky family is going to hit the jackpot when they adopt these sweet honey bears. So...

Comet is a gentle giant. He craves affection and spending all his time by my side. He bonds instantly with everyone and wants to be cuddled. He thinks he’s a lap dog and would definitely crawl into your lap if you’d let him. Comet is incredibly strong. We are working to improve his leash skills since he does pull. In just a short time of fostering, he is already improving. He really wants to please us. Comet does not appear to be cat friendly and we will continue to work with him, but for now, we suggest no cats.. Although Comet is 79 lbs, he respects corrections from small (30 lb) dogs and leaves them alone. He loves playing with them and immediately backs off if he overwhelms them. He loves taking walks and romping around with Cassidy and two 30 lb dogs who reside in the home. Cassidy and Comet are bonded and will need to be adopted together. They are the perfect set of Goldens, and will make a fabulous pair for a very lucky family!"

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!
