Help G.R.I.N. Help the Galgos!
Fundraising is an ongoing mission for the Galgo Rescue International Network. We raise funds for a multitude of reasons including:
- Shipping supplies to Spain
- Bringing galgos to the United States and Canada for adoption
- Informational campaigns designed to raise awareness in the US, Canada and Europe about the sad state of affairs in Spain
- Giving financial grants to the Spanish shelters
- Providing medical care for the galgos here in the US
- Purchasing much needed medical supplies for the shelters
- Paying for airline tickets for individuals transporting dogs and supplies (as well as the associated baggage charges)
- Operating expenses
- Postage
What We Are Doing To Raise Funds
- G.R.I.N. was sponsored by Carpe Canem and held two massive online auctions in 2007 - one auction in January which raised $2300 (after PayPal fees and shipping expenses); and a second auction in May which raised just over $3500 (before fees and shipping). We will be hosting a series of Carpe Canem auctions in 2008 to benefit the Spanish shelters and G.R.I.N.
