Welcome to Global Rescue Welfare League!

The Global Rescue Welfare League is an all volunteer
organization which was started to help raise awareness in
regards to all the homeless animals all over the world.  It is
our mission to help save as many innocent animals as possible
while raising awareness about altering (spay and neuter) and
responsible animal ownership.  GROWL is directly involved in
pulling animals from high kill animal shelters, coordinating
volunteer transports to safety in rescues, raising funds for
animals in need, educating the public on the importance of
spay/neuter and assisting individuals in finding their ideal
furry family member.  From the time GROWL was created on
September 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007 more than 286
pets were rescued and rehomed by GROWL volunteers.  
During 2008, GROWL rescued over 1,250 pets who are now in
happy loving homes!  We look forward to saving MANY more in
2010!  
GROWL is a nonprofit animal rescue and has applied for 501c3
status.  

GROWL is always in need of donations for altering, pull fees
from shelters and medical care.  To make a donation, click

GROWL is so excited to announce that due to the efforts of the
volunteers, fosters, donors and sponsors that over 700 animals were
rescued from shelters and re-homed by GROWL during the year
2009.  Congratulations to each and every GrowlKid that now has a
warm home with a soft bed and most importantly a LOVING family to
spend the rest of their lives with!


August 21, 2009 was a devastating day for GROWL.  The GROWL transport van was
crushed when a truck plowed into the side of it while it was full of rescued animals
some of the dogs even escaped the van and ran towards the interstate.  While Dawn,
the driver, was not injured, she quickly saw one of her personal dogs had not been so
lucky.  Major Winchester was pinned between the seat and the door.  With the help of
some locals, Dawn was able to get Major out of the van and he passed away on her
lap.  Meanwhile, Good Samaritans who had seen the crash went to gather the rest of
the dogs.  Luckily, noone else was hurt.  While we are so grateful that so many lives
were saved in such a horrific crash and Dawn is still missing her sweet little Major
Winchester (a GROWL rescue from Ohio), we are also trying to raise the funds for a
new GROWL van.  Our GROWL van was a lifeline for so many rescued GrowlKids who
went from the shelter they were rescued from to their new homes.  
If you would like to make a donation to help get our new GROWL van (which will be
named "The Major Mobile" after Major Winchester), you can:
Send a paypal donation to: mygrowl@yahoo.com

We know how satisfying it is to get a kiss or see the wag of a
tail of a pet who has been rescued, so we want to share that
feeling with you.  These are all GrowlKids who were previously
pulled, boarded and have all been placed in loving forever homes.
Meet Matthew, now known as Mattie!
GROWL and Mattie are so grateful for the staff and vets at the SPCA
in NYC for being so determined to help this boy find a great life!  
They contacted GROWL and of course we brought him into our
rescue until the perfect family could be found.
We could not be any happier than to announce that Mattie is now in
his new home!  Watch the video below to see Mattie's story!
GROWL and Mattie would like to extend an
extra big thank you to Annemarie Lucas of the
ASPCA for her extra effort to save Mattie!

Meet our stars!  These GrowlKids are available for adoption now!
