Willy has been living his best adopted life for a few weeks now! He loves to play with his new sister, Winnie. They have become the best of friends. Willy spends a lot of time outside watching for squirrels and bunnies, as well as chewing any sticks he can find! He also loves to snuggle with his new parents, Maren and Josh. They think he is a very smart dog! He has learned some new tricks and will do anything for a treat. The funniest thing about Willy right now is how he eagerly runs towards the ice machine when … Continue reading →

Bear has been adopted! We will share his “furever” story soon.  

I knew that it wouldn’t take long for me and Netta to find our perfect furever home and family. I am having so much fun exploring my new house….I like to go outside and run around in the yard and play with my human brother and sister. I always go down to say hello to the chickens, but most of the time they just ignore me. My favorite thing to do in the house is to sit on the back of my large sofa and look out the window…it is so relaxing. And, of course, at night I like to … Continue reading →

There was never any doubt that me and my life-long fur-sibling Ellie would find our perfect furever home and family. It didn’t take long and we couldn’t have found a better home and family… they are the best. We have a human sister and brother who always like to play with us; sometimes, we even sleep in their beds when we want to.  And, we have a cat sibling…she is very curious about us, but I think she is starting to accept us. I have really been serious about getting in “tip-top shape” so I can be outside in my … Continue reading →

So this happened while Cash’s new family was signing their adoption paperwork! We think this is our funniest adoption photo ever. Cash will get wonderful training with his very experienced adopters, but sometimes those pups are too quick! Stay tuned for an update on Cash’s progress in his “furever” story.

Cephus (now Nevi) has been adopted! We will post her “furever” story soon.

Hello from Scout! Wow! So much has happened since I got to GRRIN. I got newturd?… newterd?… well whatever, fixed, yeah, that’s it! right away and then I went to a new house where it was a little more my speed. After that, I had to go to a special doctor because my elbow really, really hurt and I limped a lot. The doctors decided that I had a genetic problem called ‘elbow dysplasia.’ Luckily, GRRIN said they would get it fixed for me, so I had an operation and have been recovering since Christmas. I couldn’t run and play … Continue reading →

Hi everyone. My name is Gabriel, and I was recently adopted by the most fantastic family. At first, I think we were all a little nervous. I mean I did not know who these people were, and I hadn’t really been with children. It didn’t take long for me to realize that kids are really great. You see, the thing that I like most is fetching balls – I can play ball all day long and I even know the colors of the balls. Well, I guess my human siblings like to play fetch also because it seems they never … Continue reading →

My name is Allie. I began my life as a breeder dog in Texas. I made the journey to GRRIN at age 4 after being outside with minimal human interaction. Those days are gone. Tom came along after losing his beloved golden and was looking for a golden for him and Tank (my golden brother) to join their family. He saw a perfect fit in me. I went from being shy and scared of most things to playing with my brother and carrying around toys. I went from sleeping outside to sleeping on a dog bed next to my human … Continue reading →

HI ALL from Texas Kenedy here. I arrived at my forever home after 3 previous stops in a matter of weeks. I am an English cream (European cream) Golden Retriever. I was #23-25 and had a different name before. I was confused and had separation anxiety. We have found out that I dislike crates immensely . I proved that I am just fine with the roam of the home. And I am housebroken. No problem there. Besides Chewie has taught me a lot about my new home. See my picture. That is Chewie and I waiting for a Chewie.com box. … Continue reading →

When JJ was surrendered to GRRIN he had several obstacles to overcome before he could be adopted. He had a bad back leg that needed to be assessed, so the perfect home for JJ was one with few or no steps. Weight loss was important for the sake of his leg so special dog food was required until he maintained a healthy weight. Above all JJ needed someone that could love him despite his handicap. JJ spent several months in his foster home just hoping to find his perfect fur-ever home. Despite JJ’s hurdles, his sweet temperament and loving heart … Continue reading →

Jack has been adopted! What a wonderful Thanksgiving treat! We’ll share his adoption story soon. Hi everyone, my name is Jack! I’m a one-and-a-half-year-old beautiful Golden puppy looking for my furever home. Here are a few things you should know about me: I have a lot of energy and I love to give my friends kisses. I will never refuse to go fetch a ball or toy. I am a BIG eater because I’m still growing into a big, strong boy. You won’t have any trouble with loneliness when I’m around because my favorite things to do are snuggle and … Continue reading →

Nora has been adopted by her foster mom! As a retired breeding dog, Nora bonded over time in her foster home and is a perfect fit. We’ll share her adoption story soon! My name is Nora and I am 8 years-old. I’m looking for a patient and loving home to call my own after many years serving my owner as a breeder for multiple litters of puppies.  Thanks to GRRIN and an incredibly loving foster mom, I’m slowly learning to trust and accept unconditional  love. I currently live with 3 other dogs and get along well with them. I would … Continue reading →

Bosworth has been adopted by his foster family! Stay tuned for his story and adoption photo.

Hi friends! Pepper is my name. I am now in my new home. My family loves me a lot! I get excited when new people come into the house. I can hardly contain myself. A nice trainer came over to help me learn new ways to meet new people without jumping on them. I am learning to sit but it is so hard to do that!! I am a work in progress. I do burn off some of my energy by running around and around the back yard. I have an older brother now. He is a little guy. His … Continue reading →

Hello, Willow here with an update. I was adopted by my foster family in July. Everyone keeps talking about ‘foster fail’ but how can it be a fail when I got a furever home and my family got me? I have two great older brothers who are also GRRIN dogs and I love them lots. I like to snuggle with them and show them how happy I am to be their little sister. Oso and I are really great together and we play lots. We even get zoomies together. Ceasar is kind of an old guy but he makes a … Continue reading →

Charli has been adopted! Stay tuned for her happy tail. I am a one year old female golden retriever who weighs in at only 46 pounds. I have an endless amount of love and energy to give to an active family. I do well with other dogs, but if I go to a home with another dog, I will need a dog that loves to play as my energy level can overwhelm some dogs. I am a puppy, so I will need a family who has no kids or older kids that will not be knocked over by my occasional jumping and … Continue reading →

Hello from Maggie (renamed) and Taffy! What a scary, yet wonderful journey we have been on! Little did we know that we would be taken on a long ride (never before had we been in a car), to our foster home with Danielle. We were frightened by everything but through her gentle, patient care, we learned what it was like to live in a house and feel safe and loved! Thank you foster mom! Our 8 months with you made our adjustment easier to be adopted into our fur-ever home! We have been with our adoptive family (Mark & Deb) … Continue reading →

So many changes….I don’t know where to begin.  First, me and my very best friend, Lotus, are running around in circles in our new beautiful yard celebrating our adoption. Second, I (LOKI) was renamed ALPHIE; and (LOTUS) was renamed BERNIE. We like our new names and responded to them right away. Our mom and dad are awesome: they were so excited to adopt both of us. We go for walks every day, love the car rides to get pup cups, we can sleep in their bed, and we can go outside anytime and run around in our big backyard. There are a … Continue reading →

Emma came to live at our house a week before her first birthday. She was excited to meet her dog sisters Lucy (12y) and Maggie (2y). They met in the yard and had a great play! After a little get to know you time, inside for a look around was lots of fun! After the first night, where she was a little nervous, Emma settled in beautifully. She liked being called Emmy and soon discovered that there were so many toys in her new house that she could play with! She also loves hanging out in the back yard with … Continue reading →

Hi there – Winnie here! I love, love, love playing with my new dog brother!  We have the best time running around the backyard, sharing toys, and following each other as we sniff all the cool smells. We go for a long walk with our mom each morning and get pooped out for the start of the day. It makes for a nice nap on the couch or comfy dog bed before Dad comes home to let us out to play at lunch. I am good and don’t get into anything while my parents are gone, and sometimes play with … Continue reading →
