Donor Spotlight: Carmen and John Grossman

When it comes to spoiling their three Mutt-i-grees®, Carmen and John Grossman are in a league of their own. Nothing delights them more than doting on their “babies,” whether it’s providing specially prepared meals, carefully vetted dog walkers, or a fenced-in yard with plenty of room to run and play. They can’t imagine life without the company of dogs. And their concern doesn’t stop there. Indeed, they’re dedicated to doing whatever they can to help less fortunate animals experience the care and love their own pets enjoy — which is why they generously support our no-kill mission to rescue, nurture, and adopt as many Mutt-i-grees as possible.
