Golden Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption in Louisville, Kentucky

Ben is a handsome 1 year old male Golden Retriever weighing about 72 lbs, looking for a family that can give him lots of exercise, attention and direction as that is what a young boy like him thrives on and needs! He will need a family with the time to work with him and be willing to not crate him as he was left in a crate long hours a day, and after time, when his owners would put him in the crate, he started to get grumpy, so needless to say, Ben does not like crates! He is a young active dog who needs plenty of fun daily energy outlets, as a tired pup is a good pup!

He's new to GRRAND but the kennel staff says he's been perfect! Ben loves to play, but also craves attention and petting. When he was most recently in the GRRAND pool, two ducks landed, he looked at them, then continued playing with his toy just ignoring the ducks. He knows basic commands, but does pull hard on a leash. We doubt he was ever walked, so GRRAND kennel staff will work leash walking with him.

We are told Ben may have seasonal allergies and may be allergic to chicken, so he is eating Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin dog food just in case, but it was never confirmed. We are also told he has a significant fear of vaccum's and brooms.

We are still learning about Ben, but if you would like to meet him, please fill out an app at GRRAND.org
