Plans are already in the works for our GRRNT 2009 Calendar!
We are looking for great pictures of GRRNT Goldens to include in the calendar. Help us make the 2009 Calendar successful by submitting your favorite photographs of your GRRNT Golden. We also require the Golden's story of how they came to GRRNT to accompany the photo.

To make this project successful, we need high quality, colorful and interesting pictures.

In addition, we are also offering the opportunity to have your animal companion’s photo and name listed in our 2009 Calendar as a GRRNT Golden Sponsor, by sending us a minimum donation of $30.00, a digital photo of your animal companion and a one line sentiment (such as “In Honor of Rover, who never meet a tennis ball he didn’t love” or “In Memory of Sweet Pea, who gave us golden joy”). Our Golden Sponsors do not need to be GRRNT Goldens. In fact, our Golden Sponsors don’t even need to be dogs! Your family feline can be a Golden Sponsor and help GRRNT help deserving Goldens.

Finally, our 2009 Calendar will contain a Memorial Page with photographs of our beloved GRRNT Goldens who have passed over the Rainbow Bridge. Any GRRNT Golden who has not been featured in earlier Calendar Memorial Pages is eligible. Please send us a digital image of the GRRNT Golden to be memorialized, their name and their GRRNT identification number.

Please remember that all net proceeds derived from our 2009 Calendar Golden Sponsors and calendar sales go directly to assisting our Goldens in need.

How to Submit Photos and Golden Sponsorships for our 2009 Calendar
All submissions must be either put on a CD-ROM or e-mailed. The addresses are stated below. All photographs must be labeled with the name of the GRRNT Golden (and new name if renamed after adoption), the GRRNT identification number, the date of adoption, age of the Golden at time of adoption, or entry into the rescue if a foster. Your submission should also include the Golden’s brief personal story in writing (if your golden is chosen as one of our ‘Goldens of the Month’, a brief story of your dog will be included), and your name, address, telephone number, email address. If more than one GRRNT Golden is in the picture submitted, you will need to submit the same information for each additional GRRNT Golden.

For our Golden Sponsors, please send your check for $30.00 per Golden Sponsor, payable to GRRNT, a digital picture of the Golden Sponsor and a short sentiment to accompany the picture submitted.
