The Rescue Rider Mission...
All of the money raised is donated to our rescues, local dog, cat, and wildlife rescue groups, independent rescuers and cat trappers. We focus primarily on "throwaways" and animals in need of emergency medical care, injured, abused, neglected and orphaned animals. No donations are used for any expenses, and I personally pay for all administrative costs.
I rescue independently, foster, adopt, donate, volunteer, and collect and distribute pet food to the needy and feral colony feeders.

On occasion, I have been asked to foster animals in need of special medical care including a cat who was found on the street, barely alive. The cat, who was named Jupiter, spent 30 days in intensive care and then had brain surgery to remove a tumor attached to his inner ear drum. I fostered Jupiter immediately after surgery and then later adopted him.
Rescue friends in north Georgia, Carol Aiken and Joni Rhodes Godbee, saved a Cocker Spaniel throwaway who needed to have her eye removed. I fostered and then adopted her renaming her "Dazzle" in honor of Carol, who sent her with a gorgeous rhinestone sweater she said so that she would look dazzling upon arrival. Dazzle only had one eye for five years and then had to have her other eye removed. She had no sight for the next four years, but she never let her blindness prevent her from running, hunting lizards, and enjoying life. Max, a cat who was a victim of a massive house fire, was transferred from a local ER to the University of Florida Veterinary Hospital for his burns and stabilization. After his release from UF, I fostered this sweet and loving guy and provided special handling and medical care. Against all odds, Max survived his burns. |
