Every quarter I go up to Rome, which is in Floyd County, with some rescue groups. You see things like dogs on chains and animals living in very poor situations. We basically go up with pet food, toys and other supplies to try and help out. We lay out straw and cedar and dog houses because the dogs have to sleep outside in all sorts of weather. Donations are always needed for vetting, spay and neuter and food. We take up food donated from people here as well as from Frida’s Foundation, Pet Buddies Food Pantry and Bridgemill Pets. Funds 4 Furry Friends provides a lot of money for helping Rome dogs too.
My friend, Keeton Nelson, has come up and volunteered the last 2 times. This is what he says about the experience. I like being able to go out to help my community and help animals and people taking care of their animals. I have seen many animals that are in dire need of assistance and help and I have learned that it is always important to help because of the happiness that it brings people and how it helps the animals.
