End Of Year Fundraising 2023

As the holidays approach and we close 2023, we want to sincerely thank you for your support throughout this year. Without any live fundraising events, and only a few in-person Meet & Greets in 2023, it has been a challenging couple of years. To date, GRRA has rescued and rehomed over 4500 dogs so without your donation of time and money, we would not have the resources to help so many dogs. GRRA has grown tremendously since it’s inception in 1991 and with that our costs to rescue these dogs has increased as well. Today our average cost per dog is more than $2100. A large portion of these costs are due to medical or behavior and/or training issues we face with the dogs that arrive at GRRA. Our application and adoption fees make up only a small portion of that raised money to cover our growing costs, so we rely on your volunteer hours and monetary donations helped us make up the difference so we can save so many Goldens and Labs that have found their way to our organization!

This is the beginning of our End of Year Giving Campaign. As you decide which charities to support with tax-deductible donations at the end of the year, we hope you’ll help us continue to make a difference in the lives of Golden and Labrador Retrievers.

The more Goldens and Labs that we rescue, the more dollars it takes! We have a very generous donor who has offered to match every dollar donated, up to $40,000. So a donation of $25, $50, $100 or more would really be appreciated and your money would be doubled by this matching pledge. Our goal for this campaign is $100,000.

Woofs, Wags & Howliday Cheers!
