animal rescue organization wants to save dogs

"It will be alright" Heidi Hardman gives attention to a rescued dog.
Hardman is Vice President of A Forever Home Animal Rescue, a nonprofit organization that rescues homeless, injured and sick dogs. Officially opened in July in conjunction with Country Manor Boarding, a nonprofit boarding kennel and adoption center in Yalaha. Revenue from the operation helps pay for the rescue operation. "When the public boards with us, they know the money is going to something good", Hardman said. "It is not going into my pocket, more is coming out of my pocket. I just want to help save dogs."
Volunteer Matt Mondragon works at the facility over 30 hours a week, cleaning and sanitizing. Tasha Romero, another volunteer, calls her work a passion and enjoys being there up to 13 hours a day. "I bring my two dogs here too", says Romero.
Hardman says she wants to have a "first-class boarding facility and do the right thing when a stray faces euthanization. The number changes all the time, but about 11,000 dogs and cats nationally get euthanized every day. A little rescue like ours can make a big difference. You have to start somewhere...."
Pookies Bow Wow Boutique held their annual rescue-fest at Lake Lily in Maitland, FL. Last year this event featured over 50 rescue groups and many vendors selling food and drinks, and nearly 6,500 people joined in the festivities. Also, 87 dogs and cats found their forever homes in just one day. Stay tuned for this year's statistics! One of our very lucky dogs, Ace, found his forever home and we will provide an update on his adoption shortly.
We are always in need of donations. 100% of all donations received is used to save animals' lives and is tax deductible.
PETco - west colonial road, orlando, FL

don't end up in the dog house!
Puppy Mills are a big problem in our country. The ASPCA and other large organizations are working to shut them down to stop the endless suffering of breeding dogs. The puppies in pet shops and on the internet come from puppy mills. The parents of the puppy you purchase are suffering terrible lives and buying a puppy promotes this horrific industry. Please do not buy while millions suffer and die.
