My story

Betty (3 years old) and her dad Traveler (4 years old) are a beautiful bonded pair of Goldens that were rescued from living in a tin hut and were tethered to the hut outdoors in sad living conditions. They are very new to GRRAND but what we were told by our GRRAND transport volunteer that: "Traveler likes to regally lay on the ground and Betty likes to sit up next to him (like the best Holiday card picture ever). They are very sweet and like to be petted. Before loading them into my car, I sat in their kennel with them and they just ate up the affection. Traveler would kiss my hand if I stopped petting him. Traveler and Betty are timid, unsure, and scared of their environs, but seem very trusting of people. We are told they like to be with and play with other dogs. Traveler has a smile that looks like a growly face, but it really is a smile and is his way of showing his gratitude for snuggles." They are currently going through long term heartworm treatments, so a calmer home with not a lot of chaos would be best for them. They will need a family that has the time and patience to support them and help them through all of the adjustments of being in a new environment, and help them work through their fears and insecurities. As they are scared and timid, they will need a home with a secure above ground fenced yard to keep them safe and contained. We can't wait until Betty and Traveler get to experience a warm and loving home, a nice plushy bed, dog toys and ALL of the good things dogs are supposed to have in their lives with us. The GRRAND kennel staff will update as they get better acquainted, but if you would like to be that family to open up your hearts and home to them and get them out of the kennel, please fill out an app at GRRAND.org.  ##2469750##

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Traveler Hart, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
