Ruff Start News/Events

Rescue Knows No Zip Code

Local animals come first, but animals in southern states often face a more imminent threat. We will always do our best to assist our fellow animal welfare advocates and the animals they so dutifully serve, no matter their location.
Today in Texas tens of thousands of dogs and cats, stray or abandoned, face euthanasia. We are working to change that.
