Holly, Golden Retriever For Adoption In Louisville, Kentucky

Location:

Louisville, KY

Description:

Holly is a 5 year old, 58lb Golden, who came to us from one of our first large groups of Amish puppy mill rescues back in Dec of 2022. She was petrified of all people, but our amazing volunteers have been working hard to make slow and steady progress introducing Holly to the world. When she first moved to our GRRAND Central Station kennel, our volunteers would have to carry Angel, another Amish pup, out to the potty yard, and Holly would follow Angel. Angel is a little more outgoing and independent than Holly. Now Holly is excited to leave her kennel to get to the play yards. Holly has come SO FAR!! This is what we have learned about Holly: She takes a little bit to warm up but is incredibly sweet and gentle and is especially fearful of MEN! She loves playing and being with other dogs She is learning to fetch a tennis ball She is happy to quietly lay on her bed next to another furry companion She has had no accidents for months now She loves treats and will come to you for them She shows zero aggression to anyone or any other dog Who would do great with her: Someone who is patient to understand she might take some time to warm up, and it will happen on her time Someone who understands that she might not be a dog looking to play fetch or go on long walks (at least yet) She MUST go to a home with another stable dog People who can help build her confidence as she learns to trust in them Holly is looking for a special foster home with a family experienced in the socialization needs of puppy mill dogs and who are home more often than the average working people. She will need a secure above-ground fenced-in yard with direct access to the home from the yard, and no children under the age of 16 in the house, as she is still considered a flight risk. She must have another stable, confident dog in the home as they will do wonders for helping her progress as they will show her the ropes and help build her confidence. We have no information at this time about cats. Her foster home will need to have the time and patience to continue showing her how amazing a family and a home are, and the reward in the end is so worth the time.
