Guardians of the Green Mile Inc. (GOTGM) is an all-volunteer based 501(c)3 non-profit organization EIN#46-3299932 dedicated to helping animals from having to walk The Green Mile (also known as death row).  In the past 10 years we have rescued, rehabilitated and rehomed well over 1,000 dogs of all breeds that are broken, abandoned, neglected & abused.  Every bit of our funding to support our rescue comes from private donations and our fundraising activities.  These dollars pay for all vetting which estimates $90,000 annually.  Once fully vetted, the pet is then placed into an approved foster home to get them healed inside and out, and then ready for adoption.

This year will be our 10th Annual WOOFSTOCK on Friday August 16, 2024 in downtown Valparaiso, IN!  It is an all-family event, including the four legged members, and will feature live bands, local vendors, raffles, 50/50 drawings, food trucks and a beer garden.  In 2023, we counted nearly 2200 people who attended Woofstock!
