2018 Give Local 757
 
 
SEVA GRREAT will be participating for the third time in this 24 hour on line fundraiser.   We have had tremendous success the first two years, however the competition gets stiffer every year.  
 
Some things YOU can do for SEVA GRREAT to be successful:
• Reach out to family, friends, co-workers and ask them to make a donation to SEVA GRREAT on May 8th (early donations unfortunately do not count toward the event).
• Minimum donation is $10.00

This year we are featuring the following special needs Golden’s:  Aine (aka Pearl), Domino, Rufus, Dusty, Halley, and Finn.  Each of these goldens has a special need that SEVA GRREAT will address to prepare them for their forever home.  More about each golden will be posted at www.givelocal757.org  as we get closer to May 8th, and on our Facebook page.  SEVA GRREAT has participated in GIVE LOCAL 757 for the past two years.  In two years we raised close to $30,000 in the two 24 hour events--a true statement about you, our supporters!!  We could not do what we do without you!  Thank you for all you do for SEVA GRREAT.

For hundreds of years, homeless dogs have been a part of the Turkish environment. Estimates for the number of homeless dogs roaming the streets and in the shelters of Istanbul vary greatly from 70,000 to 150,000.
Once considered a status symbol by the wealthy in Turkey, Golden Retrievers have become more common and less valued. As a result, hundreds end up being released onto the streets dodging traffic and begging for scraps.

The easiest way to support our mission is to become a member.  Membership eligibility is limited to any person or family who is over eighteen (18) years of age, residing within the territory of SEVA GRREAT, is current with their annual membership dues, is in good standing with local and federal laws pertaining to animals, and subscribes to the purpose of this organization.

Hi!  My name is Mattie, I am 10 years old and this is my story.  I don’t want to talk about the first 10 years of my life.  I would like to talk about now.  And now started in November 2016 when a sweet lady came to the shelter where I was staying.  See, my family decided they didn’t want me anymore, so they dropped me off at this high kill shelter. 

If your home is approved to adopt, your Home Evaluator will work with you to help you choose the dog who is the best fit for your family.
