GRRR's most urgent need is for LAND to help care for all of our foster dogs that can't be placed in homes (either for medical or behavioral reasons) as well as a place to hold our events. We are looking to buy or lease (or have donated to us!) acreage in Golden or Arvada that is zoned A-1 or A-2 and is at least 3 acres. Preferrably, this land would have a house and/or outbuildings on it. Please donate to this cause (called Mary's Golden Manor) by clicking here. Thank you!!

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.
