Dear Great Pyrenees Friends,
We are approaching 1,700 rescues since we started GPRA almost 10 years ago and Korine is but one stellar example of the resiliency of the magnificent breed we so affectionately call "Gentle Giants". Many of you have experienced or at least witnessed the journey that many of our PYRS have taken. Thanks to your involvement financially or with your time, we have rescued PYRS that have been emaciated, broken boned often requiring amputation, have had ACL and CCL tears needing surgeries and even PYRS that have been shot. Basically if the dog is a Great Pyrenees, we rescue them and those in the worst condition often become the most stunning after being nurtured by their forever families.
We are spending approximately $1,350 per dog to rescue, as many are heart worm positive and some need very expensive surgeries or other veterinary treatments like Brando, Lucy, Dylan, Jack and Starlight. We are rescuing more PYRS this year than any year in our history which significantly increases the demand for our limited dollars. We have also invested monies in professional training where necessary. We are very fortunate again this year to have our anonymous donor who will once again match up to $
40,000
between now and Thanksgiving. In other words, any donation to GPRA, whether $5 or $5,000, will be matched through Thanksgiving. GPRA is a 501c3 non profit so all donations are tax deductible. None of our volunteers are paid and virtually all donations go toward the medical care of our GIANTS. Please click here to donate or send your check to 4651 Woodstock Road, Suite 208-185, Woodstock, GA 30075.
With your help and the generosity of our anonymous donor we can achieve our goal of $80,000 which will cover the cost of rescuing approximately 60 PYRS. Please play a role in making this happen. Thanks in advance for your involvement.
Thank you,
John Heldrich
GPRA, President and Founder
