of the special needs Goldens pictured below who've received medical care through the
Joann Smith Memorial Fund, click on their names.
Many of our adopters
will remember Joann as the friendly, informative, and inquisitive person
who called them shortly after they applied to adopt from us.
Joann's volunteerism
with GRRI-NJ changed the lives of so many people she spoke with over the
years, paving the way for new loving homes for scores of Goldens in need.
GRRI-NJ was immensely
saddened to lose such a wonderful, committed, and caring friend and
colleague -- but remains honored to ensure that her efforts will live on
through the special fund that bears her name.
The Joann Smith
Memorial Fund is dedicated to providing extraordinary veterinary treatment
to needy Goldens in our care.
With your help,
GRRI-NJ hopes it will NEVER have to turn away a medically needy Golden due
to lack of funds.
