LONG ISLAND GOLDEN RETRIEVER RESCUE
WALL OF FAME 2007

Once again, it’s Autumn. Apple pies are in the oven & pumpkins are being picked for Jack o’ Lanterns. Before we know it, the Holiday Season will be upon us. Another year has passed & many of our LIGRR Golden Retrievers will spend their first winter curled up in front of the fire, or snuggled in an afghan. (This is in sharp contrast to previous winters spent in the doghouse or garage; lonely, cold and hungry). Yes, this is why we continue, year after year, to spend our time doing rescue work. We can create Happy Endings for our breed, the spectacular Golden Retriever. But we need Your help.

This is the 6th Annual LIGRR Wall of Fame. In the interest of keeping things fresh, I am going to structure it a little bit differently this year. The basic premise will remain the same: make a donation, get a gift, help save a life. However, a certain late night talk show host (yes, you night owls know who I mean) has a list of the “10 Best…” Well, this year the format of the Wall of Fame will be…

The 10 Best Reasons to Support Long Island Golden Retriever Rescue’s Wall of Fame 2007

10. Give a gift, get a gift! When you make a donation, you will receive a “Thank You” gift, to show our appreciation. There are various gifts for each level of contribution.

9. Your donation is tax deductible. Long Island Golden Retriever Rescue is a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization. We will include a receipt with your gift package, for tax purposes.

8. A donation to our Wall of Fame is a wonderful way to remember someone special who has passed on. Maybe you lost a special friend or family member, who just loved Goldens. Maybe your “Heart Dog” has gone to the Rainbow Bridge. What better way to honor them, than to help save Golden Retrievers in need?

7. The Wall of Fame is our largest single fundraiser of the year. With your help, we can make it the most successful “Wall” ever. Can we do it…yes we can, with YOUR help!

6. LIGRR is 100% staffed by caring, dedicated volunteers. We have no salaries and no overhead. Your donation will be used for much needed medical care, such as hip surgery, Heartworm treatment and spaying/neutering.

5. Long Island Golden Retriever Rescue is responsible for the medical rehabilitation and adoption of approximately 100 Golden Retrievers each year. Without LIGRR’s intervention, many of our dogs would suffer lives of pain and neglect. Without our very careful placement screening, Goldens could be adopted into “homes” where living outside, with no shelter, is the norm.

4. We accept all adoptable dogs into our program, regardless of their medical needs. A clear example of this policy is Gina, whose story is on our website www.ligrr.org . LIGRR was able to provide the expensive medical care to save Gina’s life, which we could not have done without the generosity of our benefactors.

3. With your help and support, we can provide Happy Endings for our dogs. Our adoptive homes are Simply the Best & we are constantly impressed with the Love which is given to our Golden Retrievers. Some of you even volunteer your time with LIGRR, which is another expression of that love.

2. A donation to LIGRR will warm your heart. Where else can your money go so far? Maybe “money can’t buy happiness”, but it can certainly go a long way in alleviating painful medical conditions for a sweet Golden Retriever.

1. And here it is… the #1 Best Reason for you to support LIGRR…Your Dog and all the other dogs who now have wonderful lives, in loving homes, will be eternally grateful!

PLEASE support our rescue efforts by contributing to our 2007 Wall of Fame. You won’t be sorry, and you can make a life-altering difference in the life of a dog. Thank you.
