Signature events that make it all possible
Some events have become staples in the GRIN community — bringing together supporters, volunteers, and dog lovers year after year.
Golden Gala
Our largest fundraiser of the year — and one of the most important. This event helps fund the care of countless dogs and brings the entire GRIN community together for an unforgettable evening.
Bark in the Park
A relaxed, dog-friendly gathering where supporters and their pups come together to celebrate, connect, and enjoy the outdoors.
Howl-O-Ween Party
A fun, seasonal favorite filled with costumes, community, and plenty of golden energy.
