TVGRR YARD SALE - THANK YOU
Yard Sale Borders Wrapping

I would like to personally thank everyone who came out and helped, or donated items for the yard sale this year.

We made just under $3000 this year for the HOPE fund. We couldn't have done it without any of you.

Thank you for your continued  and consistent support of TVGRR.
You all ROCK!!

Lillian Frazier
Co-director - TVGRR

The dogs thank you too!
SPECIAL APPEAL FOR THE HOPE FUND
Hope Fund Pic
TVGRR would like to take this opportunity to introduce the Help Our Pups Emergency Fund (HOPE Fund). TVGRR is trying to set extra money aside to help pay for some of the more “out of the ordinary” expenses we incur with some of our rescued goldens.

The HOPE fund will set money aside to pay for things like heartworm treatments, hip surgeries, eye surgeries, cancer treatments, permanent foster care, etc., for our special needs goldens. The HOPE fund will replace our former SHARE fund (because nobody can remember what SHARE stood for).

More and more often, dogs are coming into our program needing more than the standard shots, spay/neuter, and microchip.  These expenses are adding up. We have several dogs in our program right now that need the benefits of the HOPE fund monies.   Even with the help of our generous vets, heartworm treatment costs more than $300 per dog and surgeries to remove cancerous tumors or to repair bad hips run in the several thousand dollar range.

 With the economy in the state that it is, we are getting in more and more dogs, and even routine vet care is becoming increasingly expensive. Please consider donating to the HOPE fund to help us offset the expenses incurred with so many of our special needs animals.

You can either pay through Paypal (by clicking here ) or send a check to TVGRR or send a check to check to TVGRR at P.O. Box 32973, Knoxville, TN 37930. If you choose this option, please designate on the memo portion of the check that your donation is for the "HOPE Fund."

PLEASE Do not send cash through the mail. Thank you for helping all of our truly "Special Needs Goldens".

Additionally, TVGRR has started an on-line store on Café Press. All proceeds from this shop will be deposited directly into the HOPE fund. Please visit the store at http://www.CafePress.com/TVGRR

SHAVING YOUR GOLDEN?
Summer is here, but please don't shave your goldens!

Please read this from the Atlanta Golden Retriever Rescue:
"Every year when it starts to get hot we are saddened to see shaved dogs all around. While this is well- intentioned on the owners' part, it is a mistake.
Dogs need their hair to keep them cool and protect them from the sun rays.
Just like we don't get burned on our heads (unless we are bald and then we do), dogs need this protection.
Shaving your dog can cause skin problems too, leading you to have to deal with that instead of shedding. This is especially true for great pyrenees.
Go to the pet store and buy a furminator to thin out your dog's coat. This will help lessen the amount of hair on the dog but will keep the protective layer there."

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
Can you foster a dog for us? Take pictures of adoptable Goldens? Help us at an adoption fair? We can always use your help. There are many ways to volunteer. Find out more on our help page.
