Happy Tails

My name is Opal. I am a sweet and gentle 4 year old golden that thrives on attention. I was looking for a quiet home with humans that would give me attention throughout the day. I am happy to report that I have found the perfect family. My main two humans have older kids who are grown up and have kids of their own. Therefore, I am their main focus. I get lots of cuddles, long walks, and car rides. I get extra attention when the grandkids come over to visit. They play fetch with me in my big backyard … Continue reading →

Every dog’s journey through GRRIN is a little bit different. Some dogs come in and can get adopted out to a loving new owner right away, but some dogs may first need a little extra care. Marley is one of those dogs who needed a little extra help, and both GRRIN and a loving foster family stepped in to give him what he needed. In October of 2022, 10-year-old Marley was found wandering as a stray and was taken to the Midlands Humane Society in Council Bluffs. Later that month, he was picked up by a GRRIN volunteer and brought … Continue reading →

I am happy to tell you, I have been matched with the perfect family.

Daisy has been adopted!

After a rather rough start in life, Rocky has been adopted to a wonderful family. He was first found as a stray, and then adopted out to be a service dog. When his owner passed away he was given up for adoption. Hi, I’m Rocky. My new life with my mom is the greatest. I really have to say that I think I have her wrapped around my paw. Mom takes me for rides just because I want to go.  All I have to do is look at her with my big chocolate eyes, she caves, and hands me my … Continue reading →

Exciting news…I have found my furever home. Yes, you can say Delta is having a wonderful and busy time in my new home. I have three human brothers and one human sister and a 14-year old Golden fur-sister, Penny…she is very sweet and, I think she likes me because I keep her young! My human siblings are keeping me really busy: playing ball, running around, going for walks. And, when they caught a cold last month, I make sure I stay by them and give them a lot of comfort and love. Sometimes I get to go to their soccer games where everyone thinks … Continue reading →

I’m Charlie (left)! I’m a beautiful 4 1/2year-old golden. After my previous owners had a change in their home life and weren’t able to take care of me anymore, I was placed with my new foster family and quickly became BEST FRIENDS with my new sister Piper (right). I love wrestling with my sister, exploring my backyard, meeting new human and dog friends, walking at the lake, and going on road trips with my family to new places. My foster family fell in love with me immediately and made sure to adopt me as soon as possible. I’m the sweetest … Continue reading →

I didn’t have to look far to know where I wanted to be in my fur-ever home. After spending six months with my GRRIN foster family, they knew that they really wanted to keep me and ADOPTED ME. I am so happy because I know I will always have a caring, fun, active, loving family.  My 3-year old Golden fur-sister, Hope, and I have so much fun wrestling around, running and chasing squirrels in our huge back yard. I also have a 14-year old English Cream Golden fur-brother, Kaci, who I’m very respectful of and admire very much. After I was in training to … Continue reading →

Hi everyone, this is Lambeau! I’ve been adopted by Stephanie, Justin, and their kids, and I’m such a happy boy. And, how could I forget? My new family has a resident Golden, Jake, who’s the best brother I could hope for. We play and snooze together like we’ve known each other forever. I’ve also been introduced to something called “camping” where you leave home with your family for a few days to enjoy the great outdoors. Fun! I’ve been known to try to steal food from the littlest kid in my family but he’s learning to tell me, “No, Bo Bo!” Darn it! I really adore … Continue reading →

Hi there!  My name is Sadie. I spent most of my life in a kennel having puppies.  That part of my life is over now, and I am on to better things! My new Mom is helping me adjust to a regular dog life. I enjoy learning how regular dogs live. Things are going quite well.  My foster brothers got me started on indoor/outdoor life. My favorite thing is playing fetch with a tennis ball. I love to run to get it as fast as I can. I also like toys that squeak; Mom must get the toy away from … Continue reading →

I won them over quickly and they adopted me. I now have a great brother, Leo (GRRIN 21-32) who my family adopted in January.

Leo is only 4 months older than … Continue reading →

Martin has been adopted! Stay tuned for his happy tail! Martin is a five and a half year old golden who absolutely loves people!  He is a laid back boy who is happy to snuggle up and relax. He is a bit overweight so it will be important for him to be on a healthy diet and receive daily exercise. He enjoys going for walks although he could use some training on leash manners as he does pull at times. He came from a home with children and has gotten along well with his foster’s resident dogs. He gets anxious … Continue reading →

Hi, I’m Toby, formerly known as Luke. I’ve been having so much fun with my new family, Greg, Brooke, Garrett, Avery, and Emmett. As you can see, I’m just a big kid, so I’m learning lots of things with my new family! I really love kids and want to follow Emmett and his friends everywhere.

We’ve been going on short car rides to PetSmart and Scooters (for pup … Continue reading →

My mom, Clover, and I (Copper), are just in AMAZEMENT we found our PERFECT FUR-EVER home. It is totally awesome!

Sometimes mom/Clover does her “growl” noise thing, but everyone is getting used to it (you know how moms are).  But, what makes us … Continue reading →

Lola has been adopted! This petite, cutie-patootie has been in GRRIN for a few weeks and is available for adoption. We have several approved families hoping to meet her, so we do not guarantee her availability if you contact GRRIN about adoption. Foster story is on its way!

HENRY HERE WITH HIS NEW FAMILY…..I have been on the move since I came into GRRIN, but I’m happy to say, that I have landed in my fur-ever home. My new family is exactly what I was hoping for: a great fur-brother, Doc, who loves to play with me, run around in the backyard, and play tug-of-war with our large assortment of toys. Doc is not afraid to let me know when he wants some quiet time for himself. There are two cats in my new family and they’re not really sure yet if they like me, but I’m sure they will come around soon. … Continue reading →

Update for Carly: She’s been adopted! Stay tuned for her “furever” story. Looking at this picture one might ask what this dog is thinking. Is she asking to play fetch? She might be asking if you would be her friend. Of course, she also might simply be asking if you would sit down and give her some love. These are a few things that this beautiful dog is noted for wanting. This eight-year-old golden retriever would like to tell you a little more about her life. There is much to tell. HI! My name is Carly. My life has been … Continue reading →

DIEGO has great news….  OOPS, I mean RINGO has great news. I found my fur-ever home AND I have a new name: RINGO. My new family changed my name to RINGO because I reminded them of the “FAB FOUR”: long, floppy, moppy, hair. I have been so busy since being with my new family: I met the neighbor’s two labs and we run back and forth along the fence line (we became instant fur-buddies); we go for daily walks, and one day, we took a hike (with my new frisbie) in the newly fresh snow where there were so many new scents. There was a … Continue reading →

Nope, not the planet, but from my brand new furever home here in Omaha, Nebraska! I was adopted in July by my sweet mom, Jan and since I arrived, it’s been non-stop visiting with all the people in my building, and lots of new friends who’ve been over to meet me. My mom lost her best friend, Buddy (GRRIN 18-10) in March and she was very … Continue reading →

My name is Leo. I made myself at home the minute that I set foot in my new home. I explored all the rooms in search of what I could run off with.  What fun I had! I am so happy! I have been told that I am smart. I know my basic commands, but I have trouble focusing on what my parents ask of me. I start class soon to learn how to do that. I hope it is fun! I love going on daily walks. I walk on the leash well now. I spend as much time as … Continue reading →
