Welcome to DVGRR's Eleventh Annual Golden Gala!
DVGRR's Premier Fundraiser

This webpage will be your portal to Gala information and participation.

Each year this event propels our organization to a level that is indescribable. The dynamic
in the room is nothing short of electric as we see our dreams and goals coming alive and possible.

In 2011 we announced our "Fund A Cause"; a dream of having our own Veterinary Treatment Center, and by the end of the evening you gave us the foundation to build on, literally. Click to read about our accomplishments.

"A Message from Bean" the 2011 Gala Spokes-Dog

Bean Speaks … Bean Begs

If you are wondering what our favorite socially conscious Golden Retriever is up to for this year’s Golden Gala he has a lot to say! Bean’s never bean better…and as the 2012 Spokes Dog for the DVGRR Golden Gala he is speaking out … and yes… begging for his friends to help him help them.

This year Bean is calling on all his fans and friends to help support the NC 20 dogs remaining at DVGRR.  This is the moving story of DVGR’s emergency rescue of 20 hopeless Goldens and Golden mixes from a horrific situation in North Carolina.   While we all would love to see them adopted before the Gala on June 10, the cost of their upkeep is mounting and Bean wants to help.

Please do what you can financially to support his cause and repost this to your friends on FB, Twitter, email, etc. and help Bean speak.

Last year you all did Bean a Favor in support of his efforts for the puppy mill dog rehabilitation campaign and the results were spectacular!

This year help Bean help them!  Please click here to make your contribution.  Friend Bean on his Facebook page at www.facebook.com/beandrager (must subscribe to FaceBook to view link) to follow his tails.

Thank Woo!  Bean thinks you are Wooftastic!  Be seen with Bean on June 10 at the DVGRR Gala.
