By now, hopefully, you've seen our new shop!  This is a simple way for your shelter to raise funds.  100% of the proceeds made in the shop go directly to you!  That's right, a shop where all the proceeds are sent to you. 

How do I get started?  Easy as 1-2-3!!

1. Visit the shop at: (www.helpsaveastray.com/shop.html)
2. Once you receive the receipt via email, forward it to me and mention your shelter's name.  Email me at: helpsaveastray@gmail.com (this is to keep track of how much money goes to which shelter)
3. Once a quarter (if proceeds are $25 or greater) I will mail you the proceeds!

   

A Very Special Teri

Do you have a very special place in your heart for the neediest of needy dogs? Do you want to make a difference to a beautiful special needs puppy?  Teri is a playful six month old female pup who has a birth defect called Mega-esophagus, which means that her esophagus did not form properly.

This condition is not correctable, and Teri will need to eat only gruel like food for the rest of her life. Although she is perfect in every other way, Teri requires a special feeding regimen that allows her to keep her throat extended so that she can swallow. Since we cannot promise how long Teri will live, we are seeking a permanent foster home where she can live out the remainder of her life surrounded by love and comfort.  

Are you a compassionate rescuer or experienced care provider able to provide this loving permanent foster home? If you are willing to provide Teri the loving home she deserves, GSROC will pay for her food, comfort and approved medical costs.

Meet Brandy and Val, two former shelter dogs who are now very fortunate pooches.  Brandy was found in a kill shelter and then passed on to two more homes before she found bliss where she is now!  Val is a Hurricane Katrina survivor who was found barely alive.  Now he is thriving with his sister, Brandy, in suburban Chicago.  Both dogs have earned their Canine Good Citizenship certificates and participate in pet therapy programs at libraries and in schools with autistic children.  They are even the stars of a new children's board book series: Brandy and Val, Real Dogs with Real Tales.  Profits from sales benefit animal sanctuaries in the U.S. with 100% from one title being donated to the shelter the pups were adopted from.  Visit their website at www.BrandyandVal.com and become a fan on Facebook!

 

If you would like the chance to win $1000 or many other prizes and help the homeless cats at Tree House Humane Society, then you're in luck!  All you need to do is purchase raffle tickets for the Holiday Raffle at Tree House Humane Society!  By purchasing raffle tickets, not only will you be entered to win but you will be directly helping the efforts at Tree House Humane Society including helping injured and abused animals as well as the many outreach programs they conduct.  For more information, visit the website!

The holidays are just around the corner.  What better way to express the spirit of holiday giving than to help GSROC rescue and rehabilitate a deserving German shepherd?  GSROC is an all-volunteer organization with no paid employees or help, so we rely entirely on your donations and support to continue to save the lives of these wonderful dogs.

Of course we accept a tax-deductible donation through pay pal, credit card or check in any amount. But there are other ways to make a difference and save a life with GSROC during the holidays and all year long.

We have created a new online store with German shepherd merchandise from pens to fashionable clothing. If you purchase one of the brand new GSROC t-shirts, you can advertise at the same time for a good cause.

You can register with one of over twenty different Affiliate Programs or organizations found on the GSROC website. Each time you make a purchase through one of these affiliate links, our dogs will benefit. 

You can look through our Wish List to see if there is any way you can help our life saving mission. We appreciate your donation to fulfill a wish or provide a service, whether it is large or small.  We need everything from dog treats to dog sponsorship, from a roll of stamps for mailing to training for one of our dogs.  

In the spirit of the holidays please give in any way you can!
