Our goal is to help the dogs that really need us. All too often, older dogs are dumped at the shelter, with reasons like ‘too old to hunt’ or ‘not much time left’ or ‘too sick.’ And the older dogs often remain in foster care much longer than the younger dogs, and have more (expensive) needs – such as medical care, medications, surgeries. Sometimes they remain in our foster program the rest of their lives.

Older dogs aren’t as “exciting” as puppies. Everyone wants to help the cute little puppies. But we want to help the oldies, the ones who deserve love and care, and a chance to live out their “retirement” years in comfort.

We need your help! We need people like you who have a soft spot for the oldies, who want to help older GSPs live out their days in comfort and see to it that they get the medical care they deserve. Their lives may not have been that great, but gosh darn, the rest of their lives will be!

WE MADE IT!!! Thanks to all of you who donated to the Great Senior Pooch Fund, all $10,000 will be matched by our Challengers! If you have not yet donated it's not too late to help our Grammie and Grampie GSPs - your contributions are always welcome and needed!

The Great Senior Pooch (GSP) Fund! We need your help!  We need people like you who have a soft spot for the oldies, who want to help older GSPs live out their days in comfort and see to it they get the medical care they deserve.  Their lives may not have been that great, but gosh darn, the rest of their lives will be! Too often, older dogs are dumped at the shelter for reasons like “can't hunt” or “too old" or "sick.”  These dogs may remain in foster care much longer than younger dogs, and we want to provide them with the best of care.  To do that, we need money.  Yes, your money.  Won't you feel good knowing you made a difference?  While others were helping cute little puppies, you reached out to make a senior dog's life worth living?  That your donation provided much needed medication or labwork or surgery? Support the Great Senior Pooch (GSP) Fund! Become a Great Senior Pooch funder!  Click today to donate via PayPal or by mail to PO Box 933, Menlo Park, CA 94026. Matching funds:  Through September 30th, 2010, we had the opportunity to have your donation matched by some special donors, our Great Supporting People (some of whom fall into the “mature” category themselves!).  Your donations were matched dollar for dollar, up to a $10,000 maximum. Although the matching period has ended, your contributions are still greatly appreciated and needed! Great Supporting People:  Anonymous, Barbara Gale, Tracy Landauer, Eric & La Reine Nagel, Michelle Ravn in memory of Simon, Erin Ulrich, Cheryl Warner, Emily Worden and Ron Zander.

Be sure to check if your employer has any sort of company matching or employee giving program. For example, some employers will match your donation up to their predetermined limit. Other employers give a contribution if you volunteer x number of hours per year to a non-profit organization. And some employers will contribute to a non-profit organization on your behalf once you designate the cause.

Usually, the employer will send a form to us for verification of your donation or hours. This form can be mailed to us at:

Treasurer
NorCal GSP Rescue
PO Box 933
Menlo Park, CA 94026

Remember, we are a non-profit organization, so your donations are tax-deductible, and your employer will receive tax benefits from their contributions!  The following companies support their employees' charitable giving:

Altria, Blue Shield Cares, Dealey Renton & Associates, Genentech, Google, Safeco, SMART and UBS.

My Mutt - NorCal GSP Rescue Teams up with Pet Food Express (PFE)

All over northern California, we are lucky to be in the midst of some 30 Pet Food Express stores – locally owned & operated. PFE has a huge heart for animal rescue groups and have many programs to support our fundraising and outreach efforts. PFE has created My Mutt Program: Celebrating Rescue & Adoption

The My Mutt program supports agencies and rescue groups by creating professionally photographed giant wall posters of your beloved rescue. These amazing color posters can be seen hanging on the walls and from the ceilings of all of the PFE stores, celebrating the dog and identifying the rescue group which received a financial donation. PFE doesn’t charge NorCal GSP Rescue directly any fees for this privilege. To participate, anyone who has donated at least $250 to NorCal GSP Rescue within the past year (amount excludes adoption donations) is eligible. Let’s join the dozens of other rescue groups already participating in the My Mutt Program and have our adopted GSPs displayed proudly.

Actual size 36" x 60"

To get your GSP rescue photographed and displayed at a PFE location, just click on the attached link: www.petfoodexpress.com, then click on the My Mutt tab. For donations of $500 or more, you can keep the poster after it has been displayed for 12 months!

Check out our Support page for other ways you can help, some at no cost to you!
