Teeing Off for the Virginia German Shepherd Rescue The VA German Shepherd Rescue (VGSR) will hold its 6th Annual Golf Tournament and Auction, Friday, October 4, at the Blue Ridge Shadows Golf Course, in Warren County (www.blueridgeshadows.com). Money raised from this event can help defray the costs of spaying/neutering, vaccinations, medical exams, heartworm testing/treatment and other medical necessities. Since its inception in 2001, the VA German Shepherd Rescue (VGSR) has placed 300-350 dogs a year in “forever” homes. Dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation
and re-homing of the German Shepherd Dog. VGSR serves all of Virginia and the Metropolitan Washington, D.C. area. At any given time, we have more than 50 dogs in foster care, waiting to be adopted. Our mission is to place “good dogs in good homes.” Many of our volunteers provide much needed assistance to hardto-place elderly and special needs dogs. VGSR is an all-volunteer 501(C)(3) organization. We sometimes have to “rely on the kindness of strangers” from donations, adoption fees and fundraising activities. One hundred percent of all
money raised goes to taking care of our dogs. VGSR does not receive local, state or federal funding. How Can You Help?
We offer various levels of sponsorship (starting at $100), offering signs on the golf course. For businesses this is a great way of giving back to the community, while marketing to a wider (and perhaps new) customer base. Individual sponsors have the opportunity to pay tribute to special friends and family (canines in-
cluded) who have brought love and joy to our lives. Registration for a day of golf is $360 for a foursome/$99 for an individual, which include green fees, cart, great prizes, and dinner. The event has sold out since 2010. Not a golfer, but want to help deserving German Shepherds? You can join the players and VGSR volunteers for dinner
($25 per person) and take part in the Silent Auction. Reservations for dinner are needed by 27 September. Get more information about the golf tournament by emailing golf4dogs@gmail.com; calling 540-409-7331 or checking for updates (and information about the Silent Auction) on our blog: http://www.golf4dogs. blogspot.com
