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.

GSRBC was formed in June of 2004.  We were incorporated  with non-profit status on October 29th 2004 and received federal Charitable status in Canada on April 1st 2005. 

We depend on our wonderful extended family of fosters, volunteers, adopters, and supporters to carry on in our mission.  It is thanks to people like you that we are successful!  

All donations go directly into the rescued dog's new beginning - providing everything from medical treatment, to training, food, supplies and in some cases, boarding.  Adoption fees help but are not enough.  

The average cost per dog in 2006 totaled approximately $685.98. This total does not include toys, bedding, leashes, gas, supplies, etc. That's right, GSRBC spent $27,439.28 on dogs in need in 2006! Your donations are so important. Please consider helping us to continue on our work. Your donations are tax deductible!
