About Dove

Meet Dove, a gentle soul with a heart as big as her dreams! 💖 This sweet 16-month-old Chocolate Lab is looking for her forever home after having a challenging start in life. Born into the demanding world of an Amish breeding situation, Dove was withdrawn and fearful when she arrived at GRRAND in 2024. Picture a beautiful young lady who just needs a little love and some extra time to come out of her shell - that's our Dove! 🐾 Dove has embarked on her journey of transformation, thanks to the incredible trainers and staff at GRRAND who have been working tirelessly with her. She's started to walk better on a leash within the safety of her kennel boundaries. But let’s be real—this darling girl will thrive best in a calm, peaceful environment, away from the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life. Ideally, her new family will have another confident and stable dog to guide her on her path to trusting humans once more. 🐕✨ Now, don't think you can just take Dove for a stroll down the park—you’ll need to invest time, patience, and love to help her adjust at her own pace. This girl has been through the wringer, and it's essential to understand that she might not always shine in the light. Her eyes tell a story, filled with fear and uncertainty, but there’s hope glimmering beneath the surface! 🌈 With her roommates and a little positive reinforcement, Dove is beginning to break free from her fears. Slowly but surely, she finds the courage to roam the yard and interact with some friendly pups, though she's not yet ready to mingle with humans. The first time she felt a tender touch or the love of a fellow canine was a breakthrough moment—one day, she’ll feel that warmth and joy in her heart, too! Her journey is not just about finding a home; it's about finding a family willing to embrace her unique story. If you believe you have what it takes to help Dove bloom into her best self, *please apply through the Buddy App*. Remember, she needs understanding and commitment during this adjustment period! Dove is ready to look into the eyes of a family who will cherish her for the beautiful being she is! This girl has the potential to know joy, love, and safety in a home where she can finally feel at ease.✨💖🌟 So don’t wait—if you’ve got the heart to help Dove, apply through the Buddy App today! Let’s help her find her forever family!
