DEVOTION: DOLLY’S FOUNDATION ROCKS!
Rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome homeless, neglected, and abused American Pit Bull Terriers and other bully breed dogs!
|
 |
I started Dolly’s Foundation 11 short months ago and named it after Dolly, my dog who was rescued from an abusive past. I was tired of seeing the amazing breed I know and love being euthanized for nothing more than being born with a muscular body, block head, and that big Pit Bull smile that brings joy to my heart every time I see it. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome homeless, neglected, and abused American Pit Bull Terriers and other bully breed dogs. We also preserve, promote, and bring positive awareness to the breed and the negative stereotype bestowed upon them. And boy do we have fun doing it! |

DEDICATION: ANIMAL FARM FOUNDATION
Securing Equal Treatment and Opportunity for “Pit Bull” Dogs
|
 |
Every so often, a dog comes along who manages to find her way into the heart of just the right person. A “Pit Bull” dog named Petal did just that. Left abandoned at the city animal shelter, Petal lost hope until she found Jane Berkey and became the inspiration for Animal Farm Foundation (AFF). |

COMPASSION: Scotlund Haisley -
Takes You Inside a Puppy Mill Rescue
|
 |
As we drive down the long dirt road and I roll down the window letting the dusty air waft in, I look to the team riding with me. I can see that they smell it too—the unmistakable stench of death. We sit in silence, preparing for the horrors we are about to encounter. We’re driving toward a 50-year-old puppy mill in middle America. We’re driving toward it, and we’re driving to end it. |

MOTIVATE: The Gentle Barn-
to rescue, rehabilitate, and give sanctuary to abused animals
|
 |
The Gentle Barn is a delightful place to visit where you may feed a pig, pet a goat, and hug a cow if you happen to be in Santa Clarita, California, on any given Sunday. The sanctuary, founded in 1999 by Ellie Laks and currently co-directed by Ellie and her husband Jay Weiner, is devoted to the healing and recuperation of neglected and abused animals. Once healed and acclimated to their loving surroundings, the animals facilitate that same healing for children in need. By connecting with these animals, the kids learn a unique kindness and respect for living creatures. Both Ellie and Jay wanted to give something back to animals because it was the animals who had always been there for each of them throughout the trials of growing up. |

Saving the Lives of Stray Cats and Dogs through Spay, Neuter, and Adoption
Programs Supported by the Tourism Industry, Travelers, and Pet Lovers.

After selling her travel business, Dargal Interline, in 2005, Darci Galati decided to take a vacation with her family to Cancun, Mexico. “At the time my twin girls were eight and my youngest daughter was five, so they were old enough to see and become disturbed by seeing the stray dogs and puppies on the streets. During our two week stay, we spent a lot of time outside of the resort so it wasn’t hard to miss them because they were everywhere, which is very common in Mexico.” |
