Featured Pet
 "Tango"
Have you ever wanted to rescue a kitty that desperately needed a home? Well, I am that kitty. I am simply beautiful, and I really only want a loving home. I used to live with my mom and six siblings behind a home in Greece. I was finally rescued and brought to a foster family. At first, I was very frightened, but now I know my family will protect and feed me. I have two dogs to play with and a cat that likes to lick my ears. There are two small children to play with, and the youngest child loves to give me lots of hugs and kisses. Although I get scared sometimes, I LOVE to cuddle in a lap and be held nice and close. I also love when my foster mom feeds me Fancy Feast dinners. I'll lick every last bit off the plate and even lick my foster mom's fingers to make sure every last bit is gone. I woudn't want it to go to waste! Please give me a chance and give me a permanent home. I would love to be a part of a family. You will not regret it! Prior to final adoption, Tango will be combo-tested for FIV and Feline Leukemia, receive all age-appropriate vaccinations, and will be altered.
Adoption cost: $115

G.R.A.S.P. desperately needs more people from the community to help out by fostering a dog or cat! Since G.R.A.S.P. doesn’t have an animal shelter, all dogs and cats must then go into a volunteer foster home while a loving, permanent home is sought. You don't have to live in the Town of Greece, we have fosters who reside in other communities in Monroe County as well. G.R.A.S.P. fosters don’t have to pay for any of the related vet care or other pet-care essentials. G.R.A.S.P. can supply food, dishes, litter pans, cat litter, leashes, and even toys to keep your foster pet happy while visiting with you. As a temporary foster, all you’d have to do is provide a little bit of love and some room in your home! (Cats can either be fostered out of a spare room or given free run of your home—it’s up to you!) Fostering one pet just one time will help enormously and save a pet’s life! For more information please call (585) 234-1953 or
email us. Or, feel free to go right to our website to fill out an online application.

Who We Are
G.R.A.S.P. (Greece Residents Assisting Stray Pets) was incorporated on February 1996 as a non-profit animal rescue organization. Greece is a suburb of Rochester, N.Y. and the purpose of the group is to find fur ever homes for all adoptable animals that come through the town's Animal Control.
G.R.A.S.P. is staffed completely by volunteers and is funded entirely by donations from the public. Our animals are kept in foster homes or boarded until a foster home is found.
Please be aware that we are not able to adopt to anyone living more than two hours away from Rochester. Some of these fur children came from bad situations and to be sure that they are in the right environment, home visits are necessary.
Adopting a Friend
If you are interested in adopting one of our available pets, you must first fill out an
adoption application form (available on our website or at adoption events). If your application is approved, then (for dogs) a home visit is scheduled. If all goes well, a formal, legal adoption agreement is filled out and signed at the time of adoption. Our fee for adopting a kitten six months and younger is $115, for cats over 6 months the adoption fee is $90, and the fee for senior cats, 8 years and older, is $50. Our normal fee for adopting a dog/puppy is $200. This fee helps offset expenses incurred, since all of G.R.A.S.P.'s animals are examined by a local vet, receive all age-appropriate vaccinations and are spayed/neutered.
Volunteering and Donations
Volunteers are always needed to help with adoption days, dog walking, and fund raising events. You do not need to be a Greece resident to volunteer. Of course, our goal is to have a shelter, but until that happens, we need canned and dry cat food, cat litter, cat condos, carriers, dog collars, blankets, leashes, stamps, a digital camera and a copier. We are also desperate for foster homes to help with our kittens and dogs.
With all the homeless animals, especially kittens coming in right now, our coffers are fast being depleted. Won't you take a moment now and
send what you can spare? Your donation today may save a life tomorrow.
We have gotten a few animals that require extra care and our vet bills can run into hundreds of dollars for just one. If you take the time and donate what you can afford it will enable us to help
other pets that may require more than normal care. Please send donations to G.R.A.S.P., PO Box 26741, Rochester, NY 14626 or you can go to our website and use one of the PayPal buttons on the About Us page. Thank You.
Come Visit Us
Currently, we have our adoption event at Petco in Greece on Ridge Road West on Thursday nights from 6:00pm to 8:00pm and on Saturdays from 11:00am to 3:00pm. Please stop by and say hello. You may just find your next fur baby there.
You may also visit us on the web at www.graspinc.org for more great information or to fill out an online application and get a head start on our adoption process.
