Volunteer Newsletter Archive

A golden getting a kiss from its human.

Every GRRMF volunteer is a lifeline for the dogs we rescue. Your compassion, time, and dedication make every transport, every foster success, and every happy ending possible. This page brings together the tools you use most and a growing archive of our volunteer newsletter, Pawsitive Connections.

You are at the heart of everything we do. GRRMF is 100% volunteer‑run, and our mission thrives because of people like you.


Why Volunteers Matter

  • You welcome dogs into safety and guide them through every step of their journey.
  • You support families, adopters, and fellow volunteers with compassion and care.
  • You lift our mission through transport, fostering, medical support, outreach, therapy work, and essential admin roles.
  • You help dogs heal, families connect, and our community grow through teamwork and dedication.
  • You make GRRMF stronger — every volunteer, in every role, helps save lives.
