When There's a Will There's a Way

Until There Are None In Need, We Will Be Their Voice


Meet our Foster parents!

Emily


Emily is 21 years old and resides in Wetumpka, AL with her eight dogs and one cat. All of her animals are rescues in one way or the other. Six of the dogs and the cat came from the Elmore County Humane Society where Emily used to work. The other two Emily has had since she was 10 years old. They came from different neighbors who could no longer care for them.

Emily has always had a passion for animals but, until she volunteered and worked at the humane society, she did not realize the severity of the over population crisis and the sad plight of many unwanted animals. She has vowed to help as many needy animals as she can until there is no longer a need for it.

Emily is a full time college student at AUM and works with Ashley at Britt Veterinary Services in Tallassee. In her free time, Emily enjoys photography, and outings with her dogs and her friends. She also helps the Elmore County Humane Society by fostering animals that are sick. She has a special place in her heart for dogs suffering from demodectic mange, especially the bully breeds.

Shelia


Shelia lives in Wetumpka, Alabama with her Husband, Daughter and extended family of rescues, which include five dogs, eight cats, 10 miniature horses and one miniature donkey. She has always loved animals and enjoyed the bond that she has shared with so many over the years. When she began working at the local Shelter, she thought she had found what she was meant to do. But after five years it proved to be too much and too hard. The more you try to help, the more of them you have to say good-bye to. So along with Emily, they decided to start a Rescue group. This way they would truly be helping the ones they took in and only have to say good-bye to them when they find their forever homes. Always happy endings.

Ashley


Ashley lives in Tallassee, Alabama. She has two dogs, three cats, and several ducks. The cats, one dog, and two of the ducks are rescues. The rest of the ducks are descendents from Emily's two that were in danger of being eaten by dogs. Ashley has always loved animals and has wanted to be a veterinarian since she was eight. At the time, she lived in Egypt and her heart went out to all of the strays. She was warned to leave them alone as rabies was prevalent yet Ashley tried to befriend many of them. Ashley is also a full time student at AUM, although this is thankfully her last semester. She works for Britt Veterinary Services with three wonderful vets. They work with several of the local rescues and with a greyhound kennel. She will start at Auburn Veterinary School in the fall of 2005.
