Myrtle Beach Vacation - New Silent Auction Item

Looking for a nice Fall getaway? We will be auctioning a week at the fantastic Shore Crest Vacation Villas in Myrtle Beach, SC.  

The unit sleeps 6 and there are indoor and outdoor pools and fitness and game rooms, among other amenities.

We wanted to get the information out to everyone early because the condo has to be used during the period: 

                                      10/21/2017 -10/28/2017

If you're looking for a relaxing time at the beach this year, this might just be your idyllic spot.

Shore Crest II overlooks the meandering coastal marshes that define South Carolina’s low country 

beauty.  With its deeper yellow and blue hues, these villas have a warm “Cape Cod” ambiance.

After a fun-filled day, this luxurious resort offers just the right formula to help you relax. Let yourself

go in the winding lazy river, heated pool or hot tub. Or stroll barefoot through the soft carpet-like

zoysia grass while you take in the award-winning landscaping. The beach is just steps away across

our convenient boardwalk.

We are so excited that the following signed photographs have been donated to the upcoming Silent Auction:

A Huge Thank You!

We want to send a HUGE thank you to Ninja Analytics, the first of what we hope will be many, Corporate Sponsors of the 10th Annual VGSR Golf Tournament.

They are an Alpha Female Sponsor!  

At Ninja Analytics, we use decision science and machine learning in operational settings to uncover patterns of illicit behavior and actors.

Our Vision

Nordo

NORDO is a 5 month old puppy, who was hurt and found in a ditch.  X-Rays revealed a broken pelvis, most likely from being hit by a car.

Nordo underwent surgery to repair his pelvis. Due to the severity of the fractures, placing his pelvis back in its correct position was the best option.

Nordo has taken all of this in stride and after several weeks of crate rest is happy to be able to be out and about for limited walks as he gains his strength and builds muscle.  He is very outgoing and wants to meet everyone and everything.  His latest conquest is a Nylabone!

Hollie's Story

Meet Hollie, 

Hollie is 11.5 years old GSD who prior to joining VGSR had lived her entire life

Hollie & Flo

outdoors.  Due to a skin infection she was shaved.  Her fur is growing back as the infection has been eradicated.  Hollie is also 15 pounds underweight and we are working on the cause of her weight loss.  While Hollie has not had much interaction with dogs, she has settled into her foster home without issue. She is truly a gentle giant and wants nothing more than to be by your side and will follow you where ever you go.

Hollie has taken to living indoors and while she will follow you where ever you go, she is very content to snooze on a big comfy bed [as long as it is near you].

She is looking for a loving family that she can call her own.  Is it yours?

Sweet Mature GSD - Looking for Love

Florence is a petite little lass who when she first joined VGSR was timid and scared of everything, extremely underweight with whip worms and a skin infection.

Her skin infection and the whip worms have been resolved and she is slowly gaining weight. She is 7 years old but has not been socialized with people or dogs.  Flo is the sweetest gal and is slowly learning to trust and is gaining confidence.  Her house mates are very patient and she is learning by watching and mimicking their behavior.  Flo is getting comfortable going on walks and has begun to play ball.  She is getting better meeting people, but the process is slow as she will approach for attention then retreat if you shift positions or move too fast.  In time, Flo will blossom into a lovely, confident companion.

Please contact VGSR, if you are the right loving home for this wonderful girl.
