Golden Retrievers that were abandoned, abused, neglected or otherwise left homeless have gotten a “new leash on life” and found new homes thanks to the help of the Golden Retriever Rescue and Adoption of Needy Dogs (GRRAND). 

GRRAND’s eighth annual fundraiser, The GRRAND Affair, will be held, Friday at the Mellwood Arts & Entertainment Center. Some of GRRAND’s rescued Goldens will mingle with guests, who will be treated to hors d’oeuvres, desserts, drinks and music.  Items will be available to bid on at live and silent auctions, including a Calvin Borel signed jockey’s helmet and bronze statue of horse and rider and other items.
