GRREAT Donation Center

GRREAT is a non-profit, tax exempt charitable organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.  Your donations to GRREAT are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.  Please consult a tax professional for specifics.  We will send you an acknowledgement of your donation. Since we are an all-volunteer organization, it may take up to a month before your check is cashed and acknowledgment is received.

Madison 13-049 came into GRREAT with three ruptured discs in her back. Her recovery following surgery, medications, and rehabilitation with swim therapy, acupuncture, massage therapy, and a holistic diet , was made possible by donations to GRREAT. For the first time in years, Madison can again wag her tail.

The average cost of veterinary care for a GRREAT dog in 2009 was $690.  Today, it is well in excess of a thousand dollars.  To help us continue to provide the care that is needed for all the dogs we take in each year, please consider one of the following ways to donate:
