UPDATE. This year, I have closed my rescue. I have enjoyed being a rescue for over 6 years. In that time, I know we have helped hundreds of animals. I decided my time would be better spent helping animals in a different way. Instead of bringing them into my home and taking a few months to adopt them out, I am the Vice-President of the DeKalb County Animal Welfare League in Genoa, Illinois. Our Board manages The Barn on Baseline Animal Shelter and Adoption Center also located in Genoa. The Barn on the Baseline is expanding and building a 5,000-square foot facility to provide long or short term boarding for the pets of senior citizens and for the pets of deployed military service members in comfortable accommodations. Our current shelter will continue to house cats and dogs looking for their forever homes. This project is huge! We will be soliciting $500,000 in donations to get this building up and running. If you are interested in donating, here is the link https://goo.gl/npqY3J
In addition to this, I am also a founding Board Member of the Humane Society of Aurora (Illinois). The Humane Society of Aurora is a 501(c)3 charitable organization and is 100% volunteer run. We are the official volunteer group of Aurora Animal Control and Care. The goals of the Humane Society of Aurora are to:
Thank you for supporting me for these past years. I am so grateful to all animal lovers who sacrifice and do the necessary to make it a better world. Peace out!

Animals Matter. Every day, your choices affect them. Proceed with Love.
My beautiful girl Sita. She is dearly missed.
I am dedicated to advocating for these animals. I try by rescuing unwanted dogs on death row at animal control & finding them forever homes. Sometimes they come directly to my house or a foster's home. I can transfer them to a shelter that will not kill them and have a good record of adopting out these little ones within a week or 2. I work with a Mom & Pop Pet Store to have them bring in these shelter/rescue dogs to adopt out. I also try and help owners who are surrendering their dogs to find better homes. I try by helping others understand the importance of animal rescue and generally advocating on all levels. I advocate for change at Aurora Animal Control.
