Meet Whitney! A 7 month old mill dog that we welcomed into the GRIN family in August. This sweet girl came to us with a jaw misalignment due to an old injury that was left untreated for quite some time. She has been to a specialist for consult and will likely require surgery to address her deviated septum. She is currently doing well in her foster home and learning how to be a dog.
To help offset the cost of care for Whitney, GRIN will be hosting our annual HOWL at the Oak Grove Pavilion at the Brecksville Metroparks on Sunday October 10th from 10:00-1:00. Please come join us as we host a Halloween Breakfast and Costume Contest! This event is open to the public and all dog-friendly dogs are welcome! This year's HOWL is sure to be a "spooky good time" as we will feature fun activities for humans and canines alike- everything from a Halloween costume contest, raffle baskets, bobbing for hot dogs, and our popular "Lickety Split" peanut butter licking contest!
We have several options available to help support Whitney in her road to recovery:
