Turner Auto Care in the Community
We love advocating for our community! There are so many amazing organizations that we can and have worked with over the years. At this time we’re highlighting two that mean a lot to us personally and would love for you to learn more about them and even consider supporting them as well.
GRASP - Greece Residents Assisting Stray Pets
What’s most interesting is that GRASP is really not limited to helping animals in just Greece. They are an animal rescue that is based out of Greece but works with many people and helps animals from many different areas in the Rochester region.
Animal rescue has been part our world for approximately 15 years. We have volunteered as a foster home for animals moving through rescue and ultimately adopted all of our animals through rescue. We were introduced to GRASP a few years ago by a dear friend who has volunteered with them for years as a foster home, mainly for cats and kittens. Every once in a while she would foster a dog or puppy and in May 2019 she had kittens and one cutie little puppy. We had lost our 12 year old yellow lab/golden retriever, Emmett, and were looking for a new addition for our family. If you head over to our Meet the Team page you can see Moose, who we adopted through GRASP. He was only 7 weeks old and had been rescued from a “back yard breeder” in the city of Rochester. He is now living a very spoiled and snuggly life with us. Although our 10 year old black lab, Daisy, is still skeptical of whether she wants a little brother now that he’s not so little and tries his hardest to get her to play.
Our experiences with GRASP, through our friend and her volunteering and then through adopting with them ourselves, has been one of the best experiences we’ve had in rescue. They are so committed to these animals and also to the foster families and adopters so that both animals and people are set up for success when they bring a new fur family member home.
While we would love to foster again, we aren’t in a position to do so. Our way of giving back right now is by volunteering our time and our voice. Please take a moment to click on the link above and learn about this amazing organization. If you’d like to support them they have many different ways that you can do so. Check out the “Support” and/or “Donate” links at the top of their website. You are also free to drop donations off at our location and we will ensure they are delivered to GRASP.
You can also follow them on FaceBook and Instagram.
