Be A Buddy!
|

A meaningful life will not be found in
the next job or the next car. The way you get meaning in your life is to devote yourself to helping others and creating something that gives you purpose. ~ Morrie Schwartz, in "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom~

Everybody Needs a Buddy Sometime! So many people love our dogs and would like to adopt them but for various reasons they can't. Now you can be their Buddy until they get adopted. The Buddy Program allows you to provide support for a specific dog that touches your heart.
We are looking for those people that would like to be a Buddy to one of our
dogs. This person is a special person who provides food or supplies for a
GSRNE dog while in foster care to help
him/her get the fresh start they deserve!
If you purchased a toy for one of our foster
dogs, or would like Will you help us supply the foster dogs with toys?
or send a check to: GSRNE, P.O. Box 299, Wayland, MA 01778. Email us which GSD you are sponsoring. Please provide us with your contact information so we will give you news on your foster dog’s progress.

Many of the rescue dogs have never had a chance to play or have a toy. It is a gift to us all to see a dog begin to play for the first time in foster care! We are never quite sure what will catch their fancy – each dog has their own preferences. Send some toys to your favorite rescue GSD:
| Toys: | $7 each |
| Set of 9 Toys: | $60 |
Set includes: Jolly Ball, Kong, Giggle Ball, Fuzzy Squeaky toy, Soft Frisbee, Solid Rubber Tennis Ball, Knot Rope toy, Giant Nylabone, Clutch Ball
Tara's adopted Mom & Dad shower her with toys (and love!)
Safety is very important for our rescue dogs. They need to feel safe and secure in their new foster homes. We need to provide them with a safe environment where they can flourish. To do this, we want to microchip every dog to ensure that they will never be lost and homeless again. Car safety is also important. Dogs can be seriously injured in the car just like people … and they can easily hurt human passengers if not properly contained during an accident. Be an angel for one of our rescue dogs:
| Microchipping: | $40 |
| Car Safety Belt: | $70 |
| Complete Safety Kit: | $110 |
All of our dogs are tested, and treated if necessary, for heartworm and tickborne diseases. We place them on preventive medications to prevent ticks and fleas, and heartworms. Help sponsor one of our dogs with a 3 month supply of preventive medications.
| Heartworm Prevention: | $18 |
| Tick and Flea Prevention: | $30 |
| Total Preventive Medicine Kit: | $48 |
Another important way to support GSRNE is to send food and treats to your favorite rescue dog. The typical stay of a GSD in foster care is usually 3-4 months. In that time a typical GSD eats 3 to 4 bags of food. A happy well-fed dog is just a click away!
In order to keep your donation tax deductible, we ask that you send your Buddy donation directly to GSRNE. The foster family will then purchase the food or item for the dog and submit the receipt.
Other
options are also available. If you are willing to provide any of
the above
for one of our rescue GSDs,
Email us for more information. Our Buddy Coordinator will contact you.
