My Nonprofit Reviews

Angel's Rest Animal Sanctuary captured my heart after learning that they take in animals that would be euthanized due to advanced age, critical conditions, disabilities or bite histories. Because of their dedication to the "underdog", I decided to become a volunteer and subsequently accepted a position on the board of directors.

There is nothing about running a hospice facility for animals that is easy. It is very costly due to the exorbitant medical bills, your heart is broken frequently because some of the animals do not have a chance to enjoy a full life, and it is labor intensive as many animals receive specialized or critical care . Still, there is no place I would rather be than Angel's Rest.

I have adopted some wonderful animals from Angel's Rest, such as George who was brought here from Georgia after he was diagnosed with a liver shunt and his prognosis was very poor -- two months, at best. About one and one half years later, George is thriving as a young puppy should. Yes, he requires a special diet and specialized attention, but he is doing amazingly well. This is what Angel's Rest is all about and I am proud to be part of this wonderful organization.
