Congratulations to our calendar finalists! Now it's your turn to decide who should be featured in our annual Calendar! Scroll through all of our finalists and vote for your favorite photo(s). They are listed in no particular order. To vote, use the "Vote" button under each photo. Each "vote" is a $1.00 donation to SEVA GRREAT and you may vote as many times as you like. For example, a $10.00 donation equals 10 votes for the dog(s) of your choice. You can vote for several dogs if you like; simply add them to your cart.
Voting ends at midnight on August 23, 2020. The 13 photos with the most votes will receive a monthly feature and the top vote-getter will be on the cover of the calendar.  This calendar contest is a fundraiser, and your votes directly support rescued golden retrievers in our program, helping ensure they find wonderful forever homes (and hopefully featured in a future SEVA GRREAT calendar)! Vote early and vote often! We look forward to finding out which Goldens will be our 12 monthly features and which Golden you choose will be on the calendar cover!

Our voting page can be accessed from the main menu above at "Calendar Contest".

Hello wonderful SEVA GRREAT supporters! Since we reopened applications on January 15, we have had almost 50 families submit applications, which has added to an already large waiting list. Believe it or not, we have too much of a good thing! We currently do not have nearly enough dogs for all of the families who want to adopt. We know how excited, hopeful, and eager everyone gets about the possibility of adopting a new dog – and how disappointing and frustrating it is when families are not chosen for adoption or there are no dogs available. We don't want you to experience that so we are closing applications again for the time being. Please continue to check the website and our Facebook page for future updates.

Thank you so much for your understanding and patience!

I am sure many of you are looking forward to celebrating the upcoming holiday, even though it may be different than in other years. But for all the opportunities that holidays provide, whatever the circumstances, for many dog owners, the 4th of July is one to be feared. Of all the challenges we face as dog parents, the anxiety, fear, and sometimes outright panic and hysteria that can appear in our dogs as a result of loud noises and storms has got to be one of the most difficult. Our dogs can truly suffer at times like this, and we suffer along with them.  Find info about how to deal with this challenge in the latest blog post.
