More on Rescue

[Gina Heitz <brier@oregonsbest.com>]

Ok Guys,

Time to call the troops to order,,, I got this note below today via a
list I am on.  The AZ rescue has accepted our (George Judy's and my)
offer to house and place some dogs in need.  I need you all to
spread the word, we need homes, permanent loving homes for these
dogs.  Here is a link to JRG Adoption application that must be
filled out by anyone interested no exceptions:  I have no info yet
as to what Joyce will be sending our way, ie: sex age ect.. I will mass
post that info as it becomes avail.

 It might be better to use Rag of AZ application from the web site
at:
http://www.golden-retriever.org/ 
if your going to do a direct adoption. 

  I have offered to house two dogs.  If we can get approved
homes before we get a CUR run set up perhaps we can help more than two
dogs.  Anyone wanting to help with this in OR/WA can contact
me.  

Help in any form will be gratefully accepted, as you all know or do now,
JRG is not 501 and all expenses come directly out of our pockets. 
Adoption fee is $150.00. Sorry to be so short but I have a good idea that
this is just the beginning...  Please keep this in mind when
contacting me too:  

I have a litter of puppies 3 weeks old, and 13 dogs of my own to care
for, I will get back to everyone in an order of priority. 

Thanks for your help!  Original note below:
