GGOH does not recieve support from St Croix county. We depend on individuals and local company giving to keep our doors open. It is a daily struggle to keep going financially. Our facility is always full and every cat and dog that enters our facility will have a vet bill. Our building is bulging at seams with all the intakes. We are in desperate need of someone to search for and write grants for us to help support our efforts.

Please call or email us if you can help or have ideas in this department.
