Golden Retriever Rescue & Adoption of Needy Dogs (GRRAND) - Greater Louisville, KY, Greater Lexington, KY & Greater Cincinnati Area.

GRRAND is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Since our inception in 1994, we’ve rescued and re-homed more than 5,000 Golden Retrievers and mixed breed dogs. Averaging around 200-300 intakes per year, our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home dogs that have been abandoned, abused, or neglected along with those who are the victims of changed life circumstances such as finan

cial hardship, divorce, allergies, relocation, illness, or death. The medical resources and cost required to rescue one dog are vast, ranging from basic vaccinations and medical tests to heartworm treatment and surgeries. We rely on adoption fees, donations, and fundraising so that we never have to say no to a dog in need.

🥺 Still waiting for her people…

Sweet Dove is a beautiful, petite 3-year-old chocolate Lab who is patiently waiting for the family who will help her come out of her shell. 🤎

Dove is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and dog-friendly. She’s very shy, but with a calm home, a secure above-ground fenced yard, and a confident, stable dog by her side, we know she can learn to trust and flourish. 🐾

Could you be the one she’s been waiting for? Foster or adopt Dove today!

Every single life we save at GRRAND starts with a dedicated foster family. Fosters give rescued dogs a safe place to land, heal, and learn what love truly feels like while they await their forever home.

This month, we want to say a huge THANK YOU to our foster families, volunteers, and supporters! ❤️

Thinking about opening your heart and home? We are always in need of foster heroes in Greater Louisville, Lexington, Northern KY, Southern Indiana and Greater Cincinnati/Dayton!

🐾 Story Time: Bear’s Second Chance

👉 Become a Golden Promise Member: https://givebutter.com/grrand-membership (Or click the link in our bio above!)

Your membership is what allows us to step in when a dog is in danger just like Bear.

Bear wasn’t the name he was given. It was the name his new family chose. A name that finally meant strength, safety, and a future he’d never been allowed to imagine.

He came to GRRAND quietly. No post. No announcement. Just an urgent call for help.

After surviving unimaginable abuse, Bear was placed in an emergency foster home and within minutes, his foster family knew he was home.

Fast‑forward to life after adoption. It’s 3 a.m. His new mom can’t sleep. Bear, the dog who survived so much, gently comforts her offering a love that doesn’t need words.

A love that says: I’m here. You’re safe. We’re okay now.

Dogs like Bear survive because someone like YOU steps up.

Join the Golden Promise Membership today and make sure we never have to say, “we can’t help.”
