Medical Sponsors desperately needed!
Medical sponsorships are very much needed to help GRRAND cover the vet expenses related to many of our dogs conditions... For example, Goldie has had a leg amputated, and there is plenty of follow up care for her. Channing and Rusty have cancer, an are in a hospice type care in their foster homes. We are doing all we can to keep their quality of life happy and comfortable, and it is with your help and support that we can take care of all of these needy dogs! Please visit our medical sponsorship page to make a donation for these dogs.

FOSTER HOMES DESPERATELY NEEDED
You Can Save a Life . . . . The economic collapse has rippled down to the pet population well beyond our expectations. Between foreclosures and families unable to financially care for their goldens, GRRAND has had dogs come in at alarming rates. Unless we find additional foster homes immediately, GRRAND could be in a position to be forced to turn away dogs, a heartbreaking choice that may have to be made. Would you consider fostering a needy golden? All these sadly displaced dogs ask for is a safe haven and loving touch until they can find their forever homes. GRRAND covers all expenses for foster dogs. You provide the love and the food. If you are willing to be a foster family, please complete the on line foster application at www.grrand.org. If you are a former GRRAND adopter, please make a note of that in the comment section at the bottom of the form.
