I volunteer through our church and, I groom dogs for the local humane society. I drive my truck there when they get a biter no one else can handle. One of my bulldogs is a rescue and a therapy dog. He visits assissted living facilities and juvenilles in prison.
I'm glad this question came up. I have been considering starting a 501c3 that would rehab and find forever homes for dogs with disabilities, and dogs that are on death row in shelters across the country because of their disabilities from birth defects, injuries or abuse, such as the rescent burn case there in Miami. I would be looking for a few volunteers to help with therapy, and daily care, help with fundraising events, etc. This would take place at a store front.
I'll be making the decision by the end of the year. If this sounds like something that might interest any of you, please contact me.
