$25 GIFT CERTIFICATE for a 15 minute session with an animal communicator. Second-hand, re-homed and shelter animals often come with a load of baggage that can be hard to understand. Animal communication can provide a basis for fostering understanding and tolerance while issues are worked out. Even if your dog is not a rescue, you might be surprised at what you can find out. See what yours has to say! Donated by: ANIMAL ALLIES (check out her poster here) |

We provide foster services for all dogs coming into our rescue. They are given a thorough exam, receive necessary medical treatment and are neutered or spayed, immunized, and parasite – and heartworm tested. All money raised will go for the care of the GSDs in GSRNE’s foster care program. Because we are a fully volunteer, 501(c)(3) charitable organization, we rely on the generosity of GSD-lovers to fund our programs. For more information: Voicemail: (978) 443-2202 (Mailbox #4) |
