Where/how did you develop your passion for rescuing animals?
When I was 10 years old and walking home from school, I saw a small dog running around a card box box and crying. It was a mother dog and her 4 puppies had been put in the box. She was obviously abandoned by someone. I left all my school books and lunch box on side of road, picked up box of puppies and mama dog followed me home. My Daddy just laughed and asked what we were going to do with them. Well, we had mama dog spayed and got all puppies healthy and found homes for all of them. I grew up with beagles, treeing fiests, German Shepherds, cats and a couple of mixed breed dogs. Both parents and my grandmother were all big animal lovers and I just followed suit.
