Happy Tales!

See all our adopted happily ever after dogs here!

 

PuppyWe recently rescued 19 goldens from a puppy mill in Michigan. Most of the dogs will be placed in our adoption program, while others are being cared for by an area church. We need your help now!

These dogs are not quite ready for adoption and the boarding cost alone is a staggering $190 per day plus food! Regular vet care costs (spay/neuter) will be about $3,500! And that does even cover the extraordinary health issues, including eyelid surgeries for some and growths on others that need removed. We beg you and plead with you to please help us care for these dogs! The days tick away and our costs to care for these dogs continue to rise daily. Please help us care for these dogs! We CANNOT do it without you!

ANY AMOUNT WILL HELP! Donate now and we'll list your name as a sponsor next to our ready-for-adoption dogs on this website! Just tell us your donation goes to the "puppy mill dogs" when donating. THANK YOU!!!

Maddie's Story...

My name is Maddie and I want to thank the nice people at GRRR for helping me.  My human Mom and passed away and my human Dad was confined to a wheelchair.  He had no choice but to surrender me and my 4 year old Lab brother to the Humane Society.  He got adopted right away.  I, however, had to wait as no one wanted a 12 year old dog.  I finally got to go home with someone but they returned me to the Humane Society because their cat went into hiding.  They let me ride shotgun in a convertible in the Maumee Memorial Day Parade.  It was GRRReat! 
Still, no one wanted me.  I started vomitting.  I quit eating and missed my family.   These nice ladies from GRRR picked me up and took me to a really cool kennel (Wildflower) where I got to go for walks and go outside and visit with my buddies.  No matter what they tried to feed me, I could not eat and was getting weaker.  They took me to the vet and they gave me fluids to make me feel better.  My lab results indicated I had irreversable chronic liver disease. I still could not eat.

Then my GRRR friends picked me up and we went to Side Cut Park for the whole day.  I trotted by the river, got to smell duck feathers, goose poop,  and lots of people came to pet me.  It was GRRReat!  Better yet, I got to spend the night with a very nice folks,  Amy and Troy.

I slept in their bedroom  on tons of blankets, while their other dogs let me be the Queen for a Night.  I got sick during the night but it was no problem.  Amy took me for a walk early in the morning and I saw rabbits, and other animals.  We went back to Side Cut with my other GRRR friends for our final walk.  I was just too tired and had a broken heart and a bad liver.  They cried a lot but knew I was ready to reunite with my Mom at the Rainbow Bridge. 

Thank you GRRR, for making my final days so special.  Will you please donate in my memory so GRRR can help another dog in need? We'll list you as an Angel Sponsor on one of our dogs ready for adoption!
