There are always GSPs in need of rescue, and Rescue is always in need of volunteers. There are many ways to contribute:

| foster of dogs |
| transport of dogs |
| interview potential adopters |
| visit shelters to determine whether a dog is a GSP |
| donate kibble, supplies or monetary donations |
| help with fundraising |

FOSTER HOMES - Either short or long term. Short term for emergency situations (pull a dog from a shelter that is scheduled for euthanization) or Long term: a dog that has been accepted into GSP Rescue and will need a foster home until he/she is placed. Long term foster homes must have secure above-ground fencing where the dog can safely get off lead exercise. Due to their temporary nature, short-term foster homes, if they don't have above-ground fencing, must commit to hand-walking the foster (flexi lead or long check cord/leash).

In 2009, we rescued TWICE the number of GSPs than 2008. Due to the higher volume of dogs coming into rescue, Southeast is in desperate need of foster homes in all states. Please complete a VOLUNTEER APPLICATION if you can help to foster dogs, either temporarily or long term.

TRANSPORT - Sometimes we need to move a dog from a shelter to foster care, or from temporary foster to long term, or from foster home to adopting home.

INTERVIEW - When someone wants to adopt a GSP, they first complete the application then a phone interview happens. Then, a home check is the last step in the process to approve a home for a GSP rescue. We have a form with guidelines on what to look for and questions to ask.

VISIT SHELTERS - Sometimes shelters have dogs that they THINK are GSPs but we always need visual confirmation before we can accept a GSP into Rescue. Some shelters do not have the capability to take a digital photo and instantly email for identification; in these cases it is easiest for a volunteer to drive over to the shelter and see the dog in person.

FUND RAISING - If you are experienced at marketing or fund raising, you can donate your talents in this area. Our web sites are all managed on a volunteer basis so any help there is greatly appreciated, too.

DONATIONS - Rescue volunteers donate their time and money to this effort. If you can help with a monetary donation to cover vet care, maintenance and dog food, that is wonderful. Monetary donations also help cover such costs as advertising, web site hosting, gas money for transport. Also, bags of kibble, cans of wet food, crate pads, bowls, buckets, treats, chew bones, toys, etc. are all welcome donations to dogs in foster care.

Note! We can now take PAYPAL donations!
