THE STORY:
Jason LaGorga wrote -
These are my boys, Sydney and Newton. My partner and I adopted them both, 3 years apart, from Great Dog Rescue New England. Sydney was born into a 'kill shelter' in Arkansas and Newton survived being abandoned on a doorstep with 11 of his siblings in Tennessee. Of the 11 only 3 survived. GDRNE worked tirelessly to save our dogs hundreds of other just like them, in kill shelters through no fault of their own. Your donation helps GDRNE match pups like Syd and Newt with their forever homes. Thank you for supporting me in my first full marathon and for supporting the good work of Great Dog Rescue New England.
Great Dog Rescue New England (GDRNE) is a 501(C)(3) non-profit, shelterless, all-breed rescue group headquartered in Massachusetts. Our group is comprised of volunteers all over New England who love dogs and want to help those that end up homeless through no fault of their own. Loyal and loving dogs turn up every day in New England and Southern shelters, as owners turn them in or they’re found roaming the streets after being dumped. To the best of our abilities, we evaluate all of our Great Dogs’ temperament and suitability for living with other dogs, cats, and children. A dog’s health is checked, and we make sure they are up-to-date on all shots and are spayed or neutered. Then, we place them in loving foster homes until they find their very own family. Our goal is to meet the needs of each dog as an individual and to assure proper placement in a loving forever home.
