Events

Throughout the year, GSRNE puts on or is involved in several fun filled events!  We invite you to come and meet us (or join us if you are interested in volunteering) at any of these upcoming events.

 Mark Your Calendars!

GSRNE has two major fundraisers during the year. The bulk of the funds needed to keep the rescue going are raised at these events. It is also a wonderful time to meet new members, catch up with ones you know and just have a great time with your dog! Take a look at some of the photo's of our past events, and feel free to join us for the next one
