What is the Senior Dog Fund?

Our Senior Dog Fund was established to help dogs who are 8 years or older. For Senior dogs that find themselves in shelters or having to leave their lifelong families, it can be extremely stressful and frightening. These dogs often get passed over for the younger dogs and end up being put down at a much higher rate than other dogs. However, we believe these Senior dogs deserve every bit as much of a chance as every other dog and we will do everything we can do help them. Senior dogs are often the easiest of all rescue dogs, they are usually calm, housebroken, trained and make great companions. The initial funding for our Senior Dog Fund came from a long time supporter Mary Severson, in memory of her dog Rose. And the fund appropriately enough will be known as the "Rose-Senior Dog Fund". Mary wrote "In loving memory of my Rose - who was beautiful and smart and funny, obedient, agile, devoted, and irreplaceable."

What is the Siggy Fund?

The Siggy Fund for Special needs dogs was created by GSGSR volunteers in honor of a 3 month old puppy who came to us with a leg so badly broken it was amputated to give him the best possible outcome. This fund is for dogs with extensive medical issues such as joint replacement, broken bones, serious injuries and/or significant health problems. These are dogs that we feel will can be adopted and lead fulfilling, useful lives if they can just receive treatment for their health issues. The Siggy Fund allows us to help a few of these special dogs beyond the money that is in our general fund.
