My story

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

Trooper is a 9 week old, male Great Pyr puppy that was rescued with his sibings from living outside with no shelter in the brutal cold. He says: "Hi, I am one of the Law Enforcement Litter from Letcher County. My name is Trooper. At approximately 9 weeks old I weigh 30 lbs. Needless to say, I will be a big boy. However, I am a shy boy too and timid around strangers. I love to be petted once I feel comfortable and I love other dogs. Cats are unknown. I am a Great Pyrenees (possibly a mix) and have that laid back Pyr personality so if I catch you speeding down the highway, I will most likely just give you a warning. I am up for adoption and would really love a home that will let me bloom into a confident adult dog."



They are all looking for a home that abides by the GRRAND puppy guidelines:



Puppies are a lot of work, and if you are interested in a GRRAND puppy and have children, PLEASE SEE THE ADOPTION FAQs section of the website for more detailed info. GRRAND policies stipulate a few important things that may stop you from applying, and here are 2 big ones-



A: GRRAND will NOT place a puppy under the age of 6 months with families with children under 6 yrs old 



B: Any applicant with children under the age of 16, will require a home with direct access to a securely fenced yard... meaning direct access to the yard from the home… so this means no apartments or condos. 



As with all puppies, they will need a home where someone is home most of the time as they need to be fed regularly, and let to go outside consistently and constantly ALL DAY LONG so potty training can be a breeze. They will be looking for a family with LOTS of time and patience to socialize and work with a puppy so they can grow up to be good pups! ***Exercise and direction are a must as a tired puppy is a good puppy!! It is a lot of fun, but it is a lot of work, and if you don't have the time, an active and non-stop playful puppy may not be for you! 



Families must understand there needs to be constant supervision as children of all ages need to learn to respect an animal and puppies, and need to be taught boundaries. We are excited these pups will get to know what a nice soft bed, in a warm and cozy home with a loving family is all about!



The Great Pyrenees is not a Golden, however they do have some similarities, we suggest you do some research on the breed before applying.



We will update as we learn more about these cuties, but if you are interested in meeting them, they are in a foster home waiting for you! Please fill out an application 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!
