Give to the Max Day is Here!

Each year, staff, volunteers, and Board Members of Great River Rescue work hard to save hundreds of companion dogs and cats. We provide them safe refuge, give them medical care and behavioral enrichment, and make sure they go to homes with responsible pet owners. On top of all that, we get every one of them spayed/neutered to fight problems related to pet overpopulation. We depend on people like YOU to do this work. As a private, nonprofit agency we can only do this work as long as you support us! Please consider contributing to Great River Rescue on this very important day. 

Here's a look at just some of the things we've accomplished through the month of October in 2017:
