I found a very old, sick and crippled dog in my driveway one morning. I didn't know what to do so I called SGDR and was told to take her to be checked out at the vet's office. The dog was treated very well and they tried to save her life but after several weeks she passed away. This dog was treated as if she had always been a family pet and lived with a volunteer who seems to have a way with senior dogs. She was loved and treasured up to the end of her life. The CEO of this rescue is all about the dogs. I also have a senior dog that I adopted from SGDR and she too was treated to excellent health care and preventive health care until the day I brought her home. This organization is the best anywhere.
She is one of the most passionate driven CEO of a Not for Profit that I have ever had the pleasure to meet, after an exhaustive search. She has the greatest volunteers and partners with a veterinary clinic, that is bar none. Each rescue is provided individual care, complete workup and if extra work is required, she's on it. I highly respect that she pulls from tri-state city/county shelters and provides hope for abandoned dogs, puppies, the elderly, the infirm and the terminal ill. I received my two 8 wk old siblings, mixed, small breeds, re-named Gumby and Poky.
