After volunteering at a number of Animal Shelters and
Rescue Groups I became disgruntled and sad with the
philosophy of so many organizations.
Even the so called no kill shelters were euthanizing
adoptable animals.
I was devastated to say the least. Being a person who
is so very passionate about animals I decided to make a
difference. In 2001 I started Almost Home Animal
Rescue League. It consisted of myself and my daughter.
I wanted to help all animals whether they were young or
old, sick or healthy, maimed or beautiful. I wanted to

create a place for them to not only “feel safe” but to “be safe”. It was really hard in the beginning. Many
people thought I was unrealistic. I have proven them wrong. With the passion I have inside me for these
helpless creatures that ask for so little and give so much in return I am able to continue my work with a
motivation that, well… kind of drives people a little crazy. I have never been so tenacious and diligent in my
whole life.
It’s hard to believe we live in a world where innocent animals are put sleep simply because they have been
born in a world where society say’s there is no room for them. I feel there is a way to save every animal.
If you work at a shelter and you see what is going on change it. Start your own organization to advocate
for them. Speak for them. Do what you can.
One day I hope to walk into an animal shelter and all I will see are a few animals there, waiting for their
owner to arrive because they were licensed and properly tagged.
One day when I see a pregnant dog or cat I won’t cry, feel sad or be frightened.
One day I hope there will be no use for organizations like mine but for now… there’s “Almost Home”.

Most of the animals that we rescue are so frightened, confused and sick. It
breaks my heart to see them in this condition.
There is nothing more rewarding then to see them recover from this trauma.
Hugging them, bathing them, putting a fresh new collar on gives them a
certain kind of confidence that melts your heart. A big bowl of nutritious
food to help make them strong and healthy, and then a trip to the
veterinarian. Then ultimately finding them their loving, responsible forever
home. Now what can be more rewarding then that?
