Review for Puppy Rescue Mission, Celina, TX, USA
I discovered Puppy Rescue Mission on Facebook in 2012. After reading the heart-wrenching stories written by our soldiers asking for help bringing the animals they love back to the USA I started a motorcycle ride fundraiser. I have done 3 and hope to do a 4th next year. This charity brings dreams to reality by raising funds and transporting the abused, neglected street dogs that our soldiers love and moving heaven and earth to get them to the USA. The volunteers are amazing and what they accomplish is stunning. A totally great charity deserving of attention and accolades.
Review for Puppy Rescue Mission, Celina, TX, USA
I became aware of the charity, Puppy rescue Mission, by reading a story of a rescue on Facebook. PRM rescues and transports the animals our soldiers bond with in areas of conflict throughout the world. The soldiers contact PRM and request help and we do the rest, eventually reuniting the soldier with his animal in the USA. The animals are so horrifically treated in their native countries and come to mean so much to our soldiers that I knew I had to raise money for PRM. I decided to run a motorcycle ride/auction which was held at Garden State Harley Davidson in Morris Plains, NJ. and took place this past May and the previous June. We received wonderful auction donations including a stay at a dude ranch and had hundreds of bikers participate. We also had many of our soldiers come with the dogs we rescued for them as well as our volunteers from as far away as France, Washington State and Texas. The events raised close to $25,000 and were inspiring, patriotic and renewed my faith in the kindness of people. Our soldiers encounter horrific sites and acts of cruelty while serving our country in conflict countries. Yet in spite of this, they manage to find compassion and love for the animals in these countries and befriend them. The thought of leaving them behind is an option they should not have to face. It was my privilege to help Puppy rescue Mission and to know that we were able to bring some of our soldier's beloved pets home to the USA but the need continues. I hope to help again in the future.
Review for Puppy Rescue Mission, Celina, TX, USA
I found Puppy Rescue Mission on Facebook. I read the letters our soldiers sent requesting help in bringing the street dogs and cats our soldiers bonded with back to the soldier's homes in the USA. The stories were heartbreaking and the horrific treatment the animals were subjected to in their native countries (getting shot, kicked, throats slit etc) makes it imperative that they be rescued and brought to the USA. I wanted to make money for PRM so I organized a motorcycle ride in partnership with the local Harley Davidson dealership. I did this for 3 years and the money was able to rescue a number of dogs. I was able to meet some of our soldiers and hear about their dogs and also meet our founder, Anna, and hear about her reasons for starting this great charity which, to date, has rescued 2,000 animals for our soldiers. Anna, Michelle, PRM's administrator, and the many PRM volunteers are able to accomplish miracles for these neglected and often abused animals whom our soldiers love and have come to need. This is truly a wonderful organization doing great work for our soldiers and the animals they love.
