Golden Guardian - Name a Foster Dog

A fun way to support NRGRR is to become a Golden Guardian Sponsor. And now, with our reduced price of a $50 donation, it is even easier for you to name a foster dog!

As a Golden Guardian sponsor, you will remain connected to your sponsor dogs journey to their furever home.

With your sponsorship, we will list your foster on our Golden Guardian web page including their photo and your reason for their special name. There is even an option to give the gift of a Golden Guardian sponsorship to a special friend or loved one. Click the button below for more information and to purchase your sponsorship.

2022 NRGRR Calendar Contest

Photo submission is now OPEN! The calendar contest is a great fundraiser for NRGRR every year and we hope you will participate. Photo submissions are $10 per photo and will be accepted through June 27th.

Please follow the submission guidelines on the rules page closely to ensure your photos are eligible for selection in the voting contest. You can submit as many photo's as you like but our goal is to select one photo per person/family to move on to the voting contest. Additional photos will be used the throughout the calendar as space permits. Voting will be through the month of July and we hope to have the calendars ready to sell by mid-October.

We had an exciting contest last year raising over $18,000 and this year we are challenging you to get us beyond our goal of $20,000!

Dog food packaging makes a lot of claims, but what does it really mean. In this month's medical blog post, our Medical Coordinator Katie McKay helps us understand what terms like “All Natural,” “Organic,” and “Human-Grade” really tell us about what is or isn't in the dog food.
