    Meet "Leo" . . .

    ... a Golden Retrievers in Need (G.R.I.N.) foster.

    Leo is available for adoption through G.R.I.N.; a volunteer-staffed organization dedicated to finding forever homes for rescued golden retrievers.

    Three Dogs Snoring is proud to have brought Leo into our home. He was given up due to divorce and will be with us until he finds a new permanent home. Leo is twelve years old and is a very loving and well-behaved boy.

    If you are interested in adopting this loveable fellow (or any other Golden), please refer to G.R.I.N.'s official web site at: http://www.grinrescue.org/.

                                              

     

    ***  Foster's Update: 03-23-2009  ***

    Much to our chagrin, Leo has been diagnosed with low-grade Lymphoma. It is unfortunate that this sweet animal, one that consistently fills our hearts with joy, is now faced with limited options. As an example to an animal’s keen insight; Leo has been graciously welcomed into our home by our four pets. Each of them respectfully yields to Leo’s senior standing and appear to be aware of his illness and limitations. In spite of his cancer, Leo’s sprit remains high. He is active, has a good appetite, and otherwise appears to be in good health.

    Fostering this senior has been a celebrated experience for my wife and me. Although Leo’s life expectancy may be cut short; he never fails to fill our life with delight. He is so grateful for the care he receives, the companionship of our pets, and the unconditional love we all collectively share.

    Mankind could stand to learn from a Golden named "Leo" and fostering and/or adopting a senior will touch your heart more than you can ever imagine. If you are interested in adopting a Golden, please refer to G.R.I.N.'s official web site at: http://www.grinrescue.org/.

    Northeastern Ohio's G.R.I.N. (Golden Retrievers in Need) Is In Desperate Need of Foster Homes...

    Each Golden Retriever that is taken in by G.R.I.N is placed in a foster home for a minimum of two weeks. Without a foster home to place a new arrival in, G.R.I.N.'s options are to board the Golden until a foster home is found, or wait to take the dog into their program - which most of the time is not an option and delays the adoption process.  G.R.I.N.s current foster homes are stretched very thin. 

    G.R.I.N. needs your help. Will you consider taking in at least one foster Golden this year? If you have recently adopted/fostered, you do not need to go thru the application process again, just contact us.

    If you have not adopted/fostered in the past few years and you are willing to help, we ask that you to apply online and go thru the application process so that we can make sure that you have what you need to become a foster home for G.R.I.N. If you need more information about what our foster program is all about, please go to the "Become a Foster" section on our website or e-mail us a foster@grinrescue.org

    G.R.I.N. has created flyers for everyone to help them in finding foster homes. Please take a moment to download and print some copies for work, etc.

    You can make a huge difference in a rescued Golden's life by fostering!


    The DJ&T Foundation

    One of the most serious problems impacting animals is overpopulation. There are so many dogs eing born every day, throughout the United States, that there are just not enough homes for all of them. This results in the destruction and mistreatment of thousands of animals.

    Bob Barker, well-known television personality, established the DJ&T Foundation in 1995. The Foundation's goal is to fund low cost spay/neuter clinics and voucher programs as a way to help relieve animal over population. Barker, who ends every "Price is Right" show with an appeal to viewers to spay or neuter their pets, felt compelled to do more to address the problem.

    The Foundation has funded clinics and voucher programs across the country to help animal lovers do their part in controlling animal over population. While its mission is to assist all qualified organizations, the Foundation is most committed to making grants at the grassroots level to deserving organizations that provide low cost or free spay/neuter services or voucher programs.

    The DJ&T Foundation Board of Directors examines each qualified application carefully to be sure that a real need exists and that the organization provides excellent services in an efficient, responsible and humane manner. Grant applications may be downloaded from this web site, after prospective applicants review the site’s "Frequently Asked Questions" section, or by addressing an application request to:

    The DJ&T Foundation
    200 North Larchmont Boulevard, # 3
    Los Angeles, CA 90004
    (323) 465-9955

    No correspondence to Mr. Barker or The Price Is Right should be addressed to the Foundation. Please direct this correspondence to CBS, 7800 Beverly Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90036.

    The DJ&T Foundation is named in fond memory of Bob’s wife, Dorothy Jo, and his mother, Matilda (Tilly) Valandra, both of whom loved all animals. He endowed the Foundation so that it can go on funding projects indefinitely.
