Zena Deserves a Happy Ending & So Do the Others

Dear GSRA Supporters,

Every dog we rescue has a story. But some, like Zena’s, break our hearts. (add photo of Zena)

When Zena came to GSRA, she had clearly known more pain than love. Heartworm positive and neglected, she needed urgent medical care and a safe place to heal. We gave her both. Why? Because dogs like Zena deserve a second chance.

Thanks to generous supporters like you, Zena received the care she desperately needed. Her heartworm treatment, routine vaccinations, and vet visits cost $1,562.50—nearly five times our $325 adoption fee. And yet, she is just one of the many dogs we helped this year.

In 2024 alone, GSRA spent over $69,000 on veterinary and medical expenses.

  • Vet and Medical Costs: $59,585.53
  • Medicine and Drug Costs: $9,675.08
    That’s $69,260.61 spent just on keeping our dogs healthy enough to find homes.

We do not turn dogs away because of their medical needs. But we can only keep saying "yes" because people like you step up with compassion and generosity.

Today, we are asking for your help. Your donation helps us:

  • Treat heartworm positive dogs like Zena
  • Provide vaccinations, spay and neuter surgery, and preventive care
  • Cover orthopedic procedures like TPLO surgery for dogs in pain

Please consider making a gift today. Whether it’s $25, $100, or more, every dollar goes directly to the dogs because we are 100 percent volunteer run.

 

Thank you for being part of Zena’s story and for making happy endings possible for so many others. Check out Zena's Webpage

P.S. Zena is just one of dozens counting on us. Your donation truly saves lives.
