A Fresh Look, the Same Heartfelt Mission
All of us at GRIN are thrilled to unveil the refresh of our logo! As we continue our mission of saving dogs, this new look represents our commitment to the future of GRIN while honoring the foundation we’ve built together.
Over the years, GRIN has grown exponentially, thanks to the unwavering support of our incredible community—supporters like you. This refreshed, modern logo symbolizes that growth and the bright future ahead, as we remain dedicated to finding forever homes for every Golden who comes into our care.
Our incredible team of devoted volunteers, exceptional vet partners, skilled trainers, and our supportive community make this journey possible. Growth is a beautiful thing, and we’re embracing it with gratitude—one dog, one wagging tail at a time.
Thank you for being part of our story. Together, we’re making a difference, bringing love and hope to dogs in need.
Here’s to the future of GRIN!
PS: As we work towards transitioning the GRIN logo across the organization, please bear with us, you may still see the old logo in certain areas as we work to update everything with the new logo. Our GRIN gear on Bonfire with the Vintage GRIN logo will continue to be available for a limited time!
The Denim & Diamonds Gala was a memorable sold-out event, attracting nearly 300 attendees to celebrate GRIN's "Diamonds in the Ruff." Guests enjoyed dinner, drinks, and laughter, with opportunities to bid on auction items and purchase raffle tickets to raise funds for our organization. GRIN ambassadors Killian, Greta, Rosie, and Heidi also added to the fun with their presence.!
The event raised over $41,000 for GRIN, making the event a remarkable success for our organization! With our organization spending over $250,000 a year on veterinary care alone, this will go a ways in ensuring we can continue to meet the medical needs of the dogs coming into our care.
We would like to extend a special thanks to those who helped contribute to the gala's success
