OUR MISSION STATEMENTOur mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and provide emotional and physical care for abandoned and unwanted Kentucky dogs until they can be re-homed with an adoptive family. Through community outreach and education we hope to advance the human-canine bond as well as lower the amount of unwanted dogs in the state. Our focus is the rescue of dogs found in rural Kentucky shelters, specifically black dogs and Shepherd mixes.All dogs in the care of GBCR will be spayed/neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations before adoption. We are not-for-profit and are in the process of applying
for 501(c)3 tax exemption.

MEET THE VOLUNTEERSErin Level, President & Director Erin has been involved with animal rescue since the summer of 2007. She was a foster mom and a volunteer for a rural shelter before organizing GBCR. She has Ripley, Adrian and Rocko, her 3 permanent rescued canine buddies as well as Minnie and Brodie, her 2 supportive felines. Erin continues to foster at her home for GBCR.
Bradley Edwards, Secretary & Director Brad has been involved with the care and training of dogs his whole life. His family growing up never said no to a stray dog, and they always had many dogs living inside with them. He spent the last year working with a rural shelter as a volunteer and lived with a foster dog family. He has a passion for seeing animals bloom in a stable environment and has never been afraid to get his hands a little dirty in the process. He lives with and helps to care for Ripley, Adrian, Rocko, and the many foster dogs that come through the household.
Christin Berry, Treasurer & Director Christin is a very talented addition to GBCR. She owns her own business as a professional photographer and is a local youth gymnastics coach - both in addition to a full-time job! She loves dogs and helps to foster when she can. She adopted her first dog Murphy from another local rescue and also helped the humane society in her home town. She fell in love with her GBCR foster and now has Carson as part of her home. She lives in Northern Kentucky and helps with fund raising and planning.
Brian Level, Volunteer Brian is the creative mind behind the rescue. As a self-employed small business owner in Northern Kentucky, Brian has the drive and know-how to keep our logo and promotional materials looking sharp. Brian has always loved dogs and owns Ripley, Adrian, and Rocko with his wife Erin. He has been very patient and forgiving of the constant whirlwind of dogs coming in and out of his home and he certainly makes lots of "girlfriends" with the foster dogs that fall in love with him.
Lindsay Vogelpohl, Director Lindsay has been an animal lover since a child. She was raised with dogs and cats and still loves to help animals in need. She is a great resource and helps lead the rescue in the right direction. She is a registered nurse, works with local children, and she is an instructor at a local college.
