Click here or on the logo below to see a calendar with two GRRR Goldens in it. Emma and Sophie were rescued through the GRPMRT program and came to GRRR in November of 2006. Both of these beautiful girls and all of their companions from the puppy mill are now in wonderful, loving GRRR homes and have come a long way since then. A lot of work by GRRR members, volunteers and the adopters went into giving these 10 dogs a second chance at having a Golden Life. By purchasing their calendar, you will help to support them in getting more Goldens out of these terrible situations and into loving homes where they will no longer by used as machinery and treated so horribly.
CHOW DOWN owner, Jay Henry, was seriously injured in a car accident on September 24th. Jay has helped out GRRR on many ocassions by selling us food for our foster dogs at cost. For the full story from the Canyon Courier, click here. Please, if you can help Jay in any way, contact Jackie Bell at Jbeapl@aol.com.

Rescued Hearts
by Katherine Parsons
Taking care of rescue dogs is something I do best.
I know because I've done it, and I've surely passed the test.
The dogs I've bathed, the food I've fed, the vacuuming I've done,
And all to watch a frightened soul sit dreaming in the sun.
My own dogs I've neglected, but I tell them every day,
That I love and cherish each of them, though a new dog's come to stay.
I know they understand this for in their eyes I see
The love that I have given them come shining back at me.
Some people think I'm crazy, some others think I'm great,
But very few can understand what really is at stake.
If I can love and help a dog to find a better way,
My own life is much richer; I look forward to each day.
So now you know my secret, it's there for all to see,
The love I give, the life I save, I do it all for ME.
