Help Krystal!

It has, once again, become necessary to reach out to our members, their families and friends to ask for help with one of EGRR’s Golden rescues. Krystal, a 9 year old with severe allergies, needs a foster or a foster-to-adopt home where she can recuperate in a comfortable home setting. EGRR will, of course, cover all of her medical expenses for as long as it takes to get her better.

Krystal needs to be bathed with special shampoo and conditioner every 3 days (she comes with her own Booster Bath!). She has a host of medications that need to be given regularly, and she would prefer to be the only dog in the house (although a male buddy might be fine). As soon as some of the infection is cleared up, her dermatologist will test her for allergies and will make up a serum based on her needs.

In her old home, she was forced to live outside. She was starved for the love and attention she needed. Her skin condition was allowed to fester until it became unbearable to her. There is not an inch of her body that isn’t covered with a skin infection!

Krystal has been in a wonderful foster home. However, as she grows more attached to her foster Dad, she is getting possessive of his attention and doesn’t like it when his own dog approaches him for affection. This is quite understandable, considering she was woefully starved of human company for so many years.

If you can help her, or if you know someone who can, please let us know. You’ll be doing a very wonderful deed for a very deserving girl! As her foster Dad says, “I pray an angel is found who can give Krystal the singular attention she needs.”

EXPO 2012 Is History!

Enjoy these pictures from the last Expo that EGRR will be having in Tradewinds Park. After all these years we have decided it is time for something new and exciting. We believe we have found a wonderful venue for our annual event. We are now trying out different names, since we want 2013 to be all new — new location, new name, new activities. Watch you email for a survey — we want this to be your event and so we are asking for your input as to what you want to keep, what you want to eliminate, what you want to modify. We will soon be posting pictures of our new location.

Keep your eyes on this spot!!!

Save The Date

The next EGRR open Board Meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 22nd, at Marie’s home. The meeting will begin promptly at 7 pm.  This is a Broward County meeting, so we look forward to seeing members of the “southern contingent” at this meeting. We will be discussing a major change for next year’s Expo, including a new name. Please come and give us your input.  A light supper will be served.  For directions and to RSVP, email Marie at foleytom@bellsouth.net.
