It all began several years ago when our founder, worked at the animal hospital where Greece Animal Control rents space. During this time she watched the beautiful animals coming in through animal control being routinely put down if not claimed by their owners. Working on her own, she managed to find homes for some, took some home with her, and transported some to Lollypop Farm, crying as she left because she would never know what their fate would be.

Before long, the groomer at the same animal hospital saw what she was doing and joined in to help. The groomer told some friends and it was not very long before Greece Residents Assisting Stray Pets (G.R.A.S.P.) was born.

In February 1996 the group became a 501C3 non-profit animal rescue organization. At first, there were only 5 women, and their husbands, working together to find homes for the animals and raising funds. It was not easy, but the group was dedicated and they kept going. Eventually, more people joined the cause.

Today the group has grown and there are more than 60 wonderful volunteers working behind the scenes to find new, loving homes for the strays and unwanted animals in the Town of Greece.

How can you help? Become a member, volunteer some time, adopt a pet, or donate what you can spare. Every little bit adds up and allows us to continue to help the homeless animals get a second chance at life and love.

Thank you for your interest in G.R.A.S.P. We hope you will decide to join us.
