Grim, our gentle giant, isn’t just a dog—he’s family. For the past nine months, since rescuing him from Devore Animal Shelter, he has filled our lives with love, loyalty, and joy. Now, his life is under threat once again. Orange County Animal Control (OCAC) has placed Grim in quarantine and is fighting to take his life away. After surviving a high-kill shelter, he was given a second chance—and now they want to end it.

To give Grim the best possible chance, we've engaged Jill L. Ryther, Founding and Managing Partner of Ryther Law Group. Jill and her team are the strongest advocates we could find to fight for his life. This battle has been far more extensive than we ever imagined. Every donation brings us closer to protecting Grim and ensuring he remains where he belongs: safe, loved, and home with us.

Funds raised will be used to fight for Grim at the administrative hearing on September 10th, and, if necessary, to take Grim’s case to Superior Court and hold OCAC accountable for unfairly targeting large-breed dogs in Orange County, CA. Any remaining funds will be donated to a local rescue organization dedicated to saving lives and strengthening the bond between people and animals.

Thank you in advance for your thoughts, prayers, and consideration.
