Inspiration

Many times we encounter people in the community who are doing remarkable work for animals in need on their own, or we follow a dog or cat from their abandonment into their forever home and beyond. With the permission of those involved, we will be using this page to share inspirational stories of the real heroes of rescue - those people who quietly, and out of the goodness of their hearts, refuse to pass by an animal in need and take them in, or adopt a special needs or hard to place animal and change not only that animal's life, but their own in the process.

Here are just a couple of those stories. Also be sure to visit the Success Stories pages to see more happy endings!
