Golden Retriever Rescue of North Texas (GRRNT) volunteer Terri Coggins is our puppy whisperer. Over the past several years, she has selflessly given her time and her home over to raising a number of litters for GRRNT, providing abandoned puppies with the great start in life they were denied by circumstance and seeing them adopted out to loving homes.

Now she needs our help. Sadly, Terri’s husband, Steven Coggins, who also volunteered for GRRNT as our webmaster, passed away in January 2020. She and her son live in a home that is in great need of a few repairs - primarily new flooring and a bathroom renovation. The cost of these repairs is currently beyond her means.

Because Terri has successfully raised so many puppies (litters listed below) - and by doing so, has enriched the lives of their adoptive families - we are hoping her pups will now “speak” for her and encourage our adopters to make a donation so these home repairs can be made for Terri and her family. And for future litters to come!

Note: My name is Lynda Collins and I am GRRNT's marketing coordinator and Board member. This fundraiser is separate from the fundraising we do for GRRNT and donations are not tax-deductible since the rescue does not benefit. However, since GRRNT and our adopters do benefit greatly from Terri's work on our behalf, we hope you will donate to help her fix her home.
