Dear Friends and Family of NOT SO GRANDE,

In the five years that we have been rescuing we have had our ups and downs. You have always been there to pull us through the rough times and we THANK YOU all from the bottom of our hearts! We have rescued close to 1,600 dogs! We couldn't have made it this far without you!

This year has been a down time for everyone but especially for the pups, we have hit a record for the number of dogs we have taken in this year. More dogs than ever are being surrendered or turned out because of the economy. Humane Societies are overflowing with dogs and we're doing our very best to get them out before they are euthanized, but keeping up with the vet bills and dog food has been a challange.

We have more dogs coming in than are being adopted out. If we are going to be able to continue the work we do for these dogs we are going to need a lot of loving support.

Many of the dogs coming in have health problems which require medical attention. We need financial help and support from all of you to make sure that they get the care they need.

We are proud to announce that we are now a 501c3 rescue and are able to provide you with reciepts for your donations, cash or items. All donations to NOT SO GRANDE, Inc. are now TAX DEDUCTABLE!

Donations can be made through our website via PayPal WWW.NOTSOGRANDEDOGS.ORG or you can donate directly to the vet bills by calling Broadway Animal Hospital and paying by phone to our account! You can also drop off items for donation:

Broadway Animal Hospital for NOT SO GRANDE account 2300 E Broadway Tucson AZ 85719 (Please let us know if you need us to pick up any donated items.)

If you make a donation of any kind please let us know!! Send a message with your name and the dollar amount or list of items you donated to savetheweenies@notsograndedogs.org so we can send you a tax receipt! You can also post your donation comments to our brand new "Loving Support" page on our site! All donations count whether its $6 or $600!

Welcome and needed for the care of these previously neglected, unwanted, and abused dogs are funds, dry dog food (and wet dog food, as many older and sick dogs require wet food), blankets, toys, dog houses, crates, dog beds, collars, leashes, harnesses, grooming supplies, sheets, towels, cleaning supplies, and as always sterile medical supplies for our more unfortunate visitors.
