🚨 URGENT PLEA FOR FOSTERS! 🚨

There are so many dogs out there just like Barney—and without compassionate people like YOU, we simply can’t save as many as we want to.

💛 Fostering with GRRAND truly saves lives.

Right now, we have pups coming in who just want a warm bed instead of the cold ground… a soft touch instead of fear… and the chance to finally feel what HOME really means.

🐾 Do you have room in your heart and home to foster a dog in need?

GRRAND has been rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs since 1996. Today, we have more dogs needing help than we have space to take in. Fostering gives them safety, healing, and love while they wait for their forever families.

✨ Fostering frees up kennel space, helps pups gain confidence and social skills, and fills your home with more love than you can imagine.

Your small donation makes a HUGE difference for the dogs who rely on us. Whether you decide to skip a coffee ☕, gather some spare change 🪙, or just want to make a positive impact in a pup’s life, $5 Friday is a simple way to help. 🐾💜🐾

Please consider GRRAND in your legacy plans

Leaving a legacy gift to GRRAND is a meaningful way to ensure that your compassion for dogs continues for generations to come. Planned gifts provide long-term support for our mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Doodles, Great Pyrenees, and other at-risk dogs in need of loving homes. Below are several ways you can include GRRAND in your legacy plans:

• Bequests
• Beneficiary Designations
• Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRTs)
• Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs)
• Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)
• Gifts of Stock

Additionally, GRRAND is committed to caring for every dog we place, for life. Should you pass away before your GRRAND adopted dog, we ask that you include instructions in your will to notify GRRAND so we can rehome your dog with a loving, approved adoptive family. While rehoming is already part of our commitment, a legacy contribution can help offset the costs of transport, veterinary care, and fostering during the transition, allowing us to provide your dog with the same loving care they received when first adopted.

All charitable gifts should be directed to:
PO Box 6132
Louisville, KY 40206
Federal Tax ID: 61-1314499

Visit our website for more information on planned giving. Questions? Contact our Treasurer at [email protected].

Meet Charlie Richmond

Charlie is a 7 year old, 70lb male Goldendoodle who is being surrendered to GRRAND at no fault of his own. He is looking for a home that has the time and patience to work with him on on socialization and behavior as sadly, he has basically lived his 7 years with no guidance and training.

Charlie is soooo sweet, and gets along with other dogs (German shepherds, dachshunds, etc) and doesn't mind cats. He is crate trained and is in it when he is left alone. He is a handsome, full size Goldendoodle. Charlie has lost 20 pounds and he loves to romp and play, so he would benefit from a fenced in yard or a family committed to giving him the daily exercise he craves. He does seem to pull on leash, but our volunteer had just met him and he wanted to sniff everywhere, but some work will cure that. According to Charlie's past family, he is a happy go lucky dog who just fits in and goes with the flow. Charlie is currently known to be a counter surfer and that is a work in progress. Charlie has been groomed consistently his whole life and has been well cared for.

We are still learning about Charlie, but if you would like to meet this handsome boy, please fill out an app at https://www.wagtopia.com/search/pet?id=2610848&name=Charlie+Richmond+%237401
