Giving a Tribute
Tribute Giving provides a meaningful way to reach out to family and friends while providing support for NorCal GSP Rescue’s dogs. When your Tribute Gift is received, we will send a card or email to the person you designate, in your name. The amount of the gift is not mentioned. Memorial gifts allow you to celebrate the memory of those special individuals in your life. It’s a way to honor those who cared so deeply about animals during their lives. You can also commemorate the life of a beloved companion animal. Honor gifts are available to commemorate birthdays, anniversaries, or any special occasions. They celebrate the important people and animals in our lives.

Generously donated in memory of Buddy, by Tracy Landauer. Tracy had rescued him and had this to say: “Buddy was dumped at age 14 because he was too old to hunt, and he had the best 2 1/2 years that a dog could ever want. :) He died a month shy of his 17th birthday (coincidentally, our birthdays were on the same day). He charmed the pants off anyone who ever met him, a deliberately hilarious dog. No doubt he’s cruising around the clouds, happily instructing those who preceded him in the ways of his good AND bad habits, such as counter surfing, eating underwear, biting a pen cap in half or even a cell phone, jumping over mud puddles, shuffling his feet as though he were wearing slippers, snuffling the contents of a purse, outrunning a 45 year old woman (albeit one with a sprained ankle), and how to be hilariously good-natured 24/7. Boy do I miss that silly goose.” |

The Mike Lubash Memorial Fund
|
|||
 |
|||
| Mike always had a soft spot for animals, especially GSPs. Here he is with Missy Bo as a puppy. Now she is 14 and still going strong. I’m sure it has to do with the fact that she was his baby and that she thinks she is more human than dog. They went for walks everyday, out to the gun club and there wasn’t a table scrap she didn’t get at least a nibble of. Mike passed away peacefully at home November 7, 2010. His family misses him dearly but takes comfort in the fact that he lived a good life and told us so all the time as well as how much he loved us. This memorial fund is a fitting tribute to Mike and his generous spirit. | |||

The Fred Gillilan Memorial Fund

| Fred was a long-time lover of GSPs, and along with his wife Kim fostered for our rescue group. He fought a very hard battle against his brain tumor (glioblastoma multiforme) and finally succumbed to the effects of the treatment. In a fitting tribute to Fred, Kim has established The Fred Gillilan Memorial Fund to provide veterinary care for needy rescued GSPs. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
