Too often we hear about the millions of unwanted animals killed in shelters across the country each year. Fortunately, there are selfless, passionate individuals quietly saving lives—hands-on, one ani- mal at a time. With pure hearts, boundless energy and few resources, they work day in and day out to rescue animals in distress, heal their wounds, restore their confidence, and teach them to trust and love again. The Purr'n Pooch Foundation for Animals is committed to helping these unsung heroes pursue their missions. Regardless of species served, the Foundation provides financial support and educational resources to non-profit, no-kill animal rescue organizations.
