Goal
Five years ago, Perry our director at GRRR, created a mission for our rescue focusing on the needs of senior dogs in southeast coastal Georgia. He named this mission "Last Stop Loved" and from this simple idea, the world became a better place for abandoned and neglected senior dogs. The "Last Stop Loved" program has brought an incredible new dimension of meaning and advocacy to our vision at GRRR, enhancing everything we do as an animal rescue organization.
The mission for our program is to find forever foster homes, hospice homes and forever homes for abandoned and neglected dogs over the age of seven. It provides medical care for medically challenged senior dogs, dentals for all senior dogs and end of life care for hospice cases. The "Last Stop Loved" program also cares for senior dogs within our local community enabling senior citizens with fixed incomes the ability to keep their senior dogs as loving companions.
We realize that senior dogs face a much greater chance of euthanasia at shelters than younger dogs because it is difficult to find adopters for them due to their shorter life expectancy and unforeseen veterinary costs. Also, many senior dogs are surrendered to us because their owner might of passed away and family members are unable to make the commitment to take in the senior dog. The name "Last Stop Loved" represents a final place where these dogs can find incredible love and caring as they spend their last days on earth.
Your donation today on Giving Tuesday enables GRRR to provide the support and care for our cherished senior dogs in foster care as well as to people within our local community on assisting them with the care of their senior dogs. We thank you for your kindness, love and support because without you we could never do it.
