Becoming a Volunteer
 



Volunteers are the foundation of our organization....each and everyone of us who is there for our dogs dedicate their free time to helping in any way that they can. All of us have certain "talents" .... GRINinc's new mission draws people, who are not only dedicated to the breed, but are touched by senior goldens and goldens with special needs.  If you you have a soft spot for "oldie goldies", please contact us at
mygldns@yahoo.com  

Since the adoption of our new Mission statement, the number of volunteers that are needed has decreased.  However this rescue remains a very successful organization due to dedicated people like yourselves...so we do want to hear from you!   We can talk about your "talents" and see if we can incorporate them into assisting our rescue organization to remain a reputable rescue dedicated to seniors and special needs Golden Retrievers.  

And please let us know at mygldns@yahoo.com, if you are willing to open your home and heart to homeless Senior and Special Needs Goldens in need of temporary housing! 

 

 



THE PIECES OF MY HEART

Our paths will cross for only a short time, but while you are in my care I will be devoted to you.  If memories of your former life are painful, I will help erase them.  No longer will you hunger and I will help to heal your wounds. If your former life was good, I will promise you an even better future.

One day our time together will come to an end and you will go off to your new home, healthy, happy and healed. As a parting gift, I will give you a piece of my heart to remember me by.  I may shed a tear . . . not for my loss, but for your gain.

Perhaps our paths may cross again for a fleeting instant and I will be comforted by the aura of love that surrounds you.  There will always be a bond between us, though we walk separate paths through this life.

After we reach our heavenly reward our paths may cross again.  You may try to return the piece of my heart with thanks for all that I did for you.  I will tell you to keep it and thank you for showing me that I could be better than I thought I could be, and that I learned in giving came the greatest gifts.

The pieces of our hearts are like grains of sand. They are pulled along a current beyond our control until they come together and form a safe haven.

I, like you, came to understand what it meant to be saved.
