The Friends of the Athens County Dog Shelter has done an amazing job of finding unwanted dogs loving and permanent homes. They have been advertising adoptable dogs and have created more awareness of animal welfare issues. This group's members are really angels to the animals they rescue and should be praised by the community.
Another group that should receive recognition is the Last Chance Corral. They do an incredible job with the horses they rescue. There need to be more people like Victoria Goss.
Judy Reed has worked with me and together we were able to place an unwanted breeding pug in a loving home. Reed loves the animals she works with and doing the best thing for them is her main concern. She has a huge and caring heart and does an amazing job. She has changed many lives, both humans and animals, by placing animals in wonderful homes. I could never say anything bad about this group and really appreciate them as another animal lover. I think they should keep up with their wonderful work and keep saving the lives of some very nice animals. More people need to adopt animals and stop buying breeding dogs or pet store dogs. There are so many unwanted animals everywhere and like this group is doing, more people should be finding homes for them. The volunteers have opened their hearts, homes and resources for these animals and are doing an excellent job.
