My story

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

Melissa Erin is a Goldendoodle est about 2ish years old, who was found by a Good Samaritan from Louisville who picked her up from the side of the road on I-65 and contacted GRRAND. She had a small pneumothorax and R fractured humerus - which required her leg to be amputated.

She is in an awesome foster home where they helped get her through her surgery from start to finish! Here is what they say:

"We took her sutures out from her amputation and the incision still looks a bit irritated but it’s healing well. I’ll be keeping her in a cone for about another week, she keeps trying to lick the incision from the amputation. She is an absolute sweetie! She’s great with other dogs. Great with people. Crate trained and potty trained. She’s about 2 years old we think. She knows basic commands like sit and go potty and I’ll go in her kennel when I ask her. Oh also she was super matted and nasty and got a full shave down, but her hair is growing back! Melissa Erin (we have been calling her Maple) is skinny and needs to gain some weight, and she is really a lap dog! She is so ready to find her forever family!!! Oh... and she LOVES the snow!"

We are still learning about this sweet girl, so please chack back later for more info... If you would like to help GRRAND with the high vet bills for her surgery, please visit the DONATION link to help! and if you would like to meet this sweetie, 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!
