Meet and Greets to Resume
We are excited to announce that we are resuming our Meet and Greets! Our next event will be at our new location Zoomy Dogs in Durham. Their information is listed on their webpage. It is a very cool, large space with lots of room and they are excited to host us. We are operating under the Safer at Home Phase 3 guidelines until further notice, and everyone attending should be wearing a mask. We want everyone to be safe as we resume this activity.

Golden on the Green Virtual Charity Golf Tournament
Unfortunately, given the COVID situation, we had to cancel our in-person 19th Annual Golden on the Green Charity Golf Tournament this year. However, we still want to keep the tradition alive and decided to host a virtual tournament so you can still support NRGRR while playing golf this fall.
Playing is easy! For a $25 donation per player, each person will be registered to win one of two free registrations in the 20th Annual Golden on the Green Charity Golf Tournament next August. Additionally, if you team posts pictures to social media using the hashtag #goldenonthegreen, you will be eligible to win Golden on the Green merchandise from the NRGRR Store.
For those that miss our tee sponsorships, we have a virtual plan for that as well. For a $100 donation, you can honor your pet or loved one with a virtual "In Honor of" or "In Memory of" tee sign that we will add to our web page, announce in the Rescue Ranger newsletter, and share on social media.

International Rescue
NRGRR recently rescued 16 golden retrievers from Turkey, China, and Kosovo and we have additional dogs from China and Turkey scheduled to arrive in the coming months. Your donation toward our international fund will help us rescue these and more beautiful golden retrievers from overseas.

Medical Blog
In this month's medical blog post, our Medical Coordinator Katie McKay revisits a couple of past blog posts about fire ants. They are never fun to deal with but if you have a curious dog that likes to stick their nose where it doesn't belong, it can be big trouble. Katie discusses first aid and signs that your dog may be having an allergic reaction if they happen to get attacked by a fire ant swarm.
NRGRR Golf Gear
Check out the NRGRR store for Golden on the Green and NRGRR logo items. We have towels, balls, hats, and vests. We also have select styles and sizes of golf shirts that remain in inventory from previous year's tournaments. They make great gifts for your golfer friends and dog lovers!
