I am an independent rescuer who takes dogs from shelters, puppy mills, and individuals. I have the dogs spayed/neutered, vaccinated, their teeth cleaned, and any other medical treatments done that are needed. I groom them and put them on heartworm preventative and a high quality diet. Many of the dogs I rescue receive heartworm treatment, dental work, or some other expensive medical treatment. My expenses exceed my adoption fees. I’ve been running this rescue since 2000. I’m the founder of my local animal shelter, Paragould Animal Welfare Society shelter, established in 1998.
