Animal Rescue
Ever since I was a little girl, I have been extremely passionate about animal rescue. I have been a foster and volunteer for 20 years at Eleventh Hour Rescue and currently at Home for Good Dog Rescue. We have fostered over 800 dogs and cats through the years. All animals in shelters are in desperate need of a second chance. Most of the animals have been lost, defeated, abandoned, and abused. Thankfully, over the last decade, our country now has about 14,000 no-kill rescues to help save these poor souls from dreaded fate. Animal rescue groups work tirelessly to pull these animals facing euthanasia, with hopes of finding them the home, they all truly deserve. After visiting some very high-kill shelters in SC and GA with HFGDR this summer, I can honestly say, it was gut-wrenching. You can never be prepared for the sad reality of what happens in this country. The faces of those, that couldn't be saved will forever haunt me. Because of this, I started The JMP Rescue Pet Portrait Project to help raise money for animal rescues throughout the United States. One hundred percent of the proceeds are donated to the rescue currently fundraising through their Facebook page.
