Heartfelt words from our RESCUE HEROES

“The genuine compassion everyone has for each rescue, from intake through adoption and beyond, for the life of the dog, is what makes this organization so successful. Each volunteer in our Village has a beautiful soul that wants to help re-home every rescue that comes into our care.”
