For GRREAT members and volunteers who have changed their email or home addresses, please contact our Database Administrator so we can keep you apprised of upcoming events in your area.

For any other communications with GRREAT, please call our voice mail for the quickest response. Since GRREAT does not maintain an office, we have a Voice Mail system to facilitate communications with our members and the public. Please listen closely to the directions so your message gets directly to the correct staff volunteer. The number is: 703-620-6593
Our snail-mail address is:
GRREAT, Inc.
PO Box 190
Merrifield, VA 22116
Please DO NOT send adoption applications to this address–it will only slow the process down. Here’s the address for applications.
