Director StatementIn the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, most of the media attention was focused on human victims. I thought that it was important to shine a spotlight on the dramatic situation of some of the most defenseless among us. The founders of GRASS and its volunteers have a true love for the older dogs especially Goldens and are dedicated to their welfare. It is clear that their efforts can make a difference in the life of senior dogs. I found their efforts during that dramatic time to be truly inspiring.
