Rescue for dogs in deplorable conditions

New matching donation opportunity up to $10,000. Please see the update.

Our local news media (WDRB & WAVE) in Louisville has been carrying a story about a hoarding situation in Spencer County. 35 -40 dogs and puppies were found abandoned in horrific conditions. Mychell Lawson, GRRAND volunteer and head of Kentucky Animal Action (an advocacy group for animal welfare) has been "Boots on the Ground" in Spencer County for the past few days coordinating the rescue and intake of the animals. The Spencer County Shelter is over capacity with many dogs being held in crates outside of the facility. Mychell described the scene as the worst she has ever seen in all her years of rescues.

GRRAND is committed to saving as many of these dogs as possible and we've mobilized our entire team to be prepared for these dogs coming during the next few days. We are going to need as much help as possible from you.

Our largest need is funding. We will be renting a facility to bring in another 15-20 dogs. We are also in desperate need of funds to help care for these sick, starving dogs. Because of their horrible condition, we will have enormous medical, boarding, and behavioral training costs.

A community effort will be required to save these dogs. Together we can do it! You can make a difference by donating today to Golden Retriever Rescue and Adoption of Needy Dogs.

Golden Retriever Rescue & Adoption of Needy Dogs (GRRAND) seeks to significantly reduce the number of homeless or abused Golden Retrievers through vigorous rescue, rehabilitation, placement and education programs.
