MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT
Dear Friends,
This 8th annual party, bringing together adopters, volunteers and others
who believe in what we do, is in honor of the many of us who welcome
scared, neglected or abused, most often untrained, sometimes sick animals into our homes where we care for them and get them ready for
good permanent homes.
Fosterers are very special people. Their time, commitment and loving care
help a scared dog or cat turn into a loving pet; or a sick one turn into a
happy healthy companion. The reward is seeing them go up stairs for the
first time, or play with toys they never had, or wag their tails with joy. Letting them go to become a member of another family is bittersweet but it
turns to joy when photos arrive of them snuggling with their new people
and four-legged buddies.
Fostering is a way of life for Pet Rescue. It is how we save so many lives.
Not having a shelter, we have always taken as many dogs and cats into
our homes as we could manage. There is no way that a communal shelter can give so many animals the tender care and attention that they get
in homes. Nor can they get to know each individual personality so that
the pet can be matched up with the right home.
More homes become available as more people join and then bring in
friends and relatives. So now Pet Rescue has a whole lot of fosterers that
must be initiated into our system and a lot of foster homes to keep track
of. Lee Ann Simonson is doing a superb job of coordinating the dog foster
homes and Judy Schwartzman does the same for the cat fosterers.
Pet Rescue has been able to grow and save the lives of so many cats
and dogs because of our fosterers. We've undergone change after
change over 29 years, but one change is now part of our practice and is
here to stay. We've come from thinking of our homes as temporary refuges (when we had no alternative) to choosing foster homing as far and
away the best way to take care of our cats and dogs.
Thank you all - fosterers and all the others who keep Pet Rescue going.
Sue Kamell
President
ABOUT PET RESCUE
We started 29 years ago when three women left the Central
Westchester Humane Society shelter in Elmsford determined to
do a better job of taking care of abandoned animals and we've
done that consistently. In the last fifteen years, as more people
have joined as volunteers, we've been able to help more and
more. In 2010, we found homes for over 750 dogs and cats,
spayed or neutered over 400 feral cats, found safe places for
many, and treated over 1,100 animals altogether in our clinic.
As neutering of dogs has caught on in the northeast, meaning
fewer strays and abandoned pets in our area, we've been taking
dogs (and a few cats) from truly terrible facilities in the rural South.
Surprisingly, our work has been paying off even for some dogs left
behind. Perhaps seeing our model of caring, or with hope that
they didn't have before, the workers in at least one pound are at
last taking an interest in the welfare of their dogs. They're gentler
with them and cleaning up the pound.
Last year, we began to take in, treat at our clinic, and find homes
for adoptable dogs unfortunate enough to go to an underfunded and understaffed animal facility nearby. The New Rochelle Humane Society has been pitching in too.
With more need for our clinic services, we're feeling the need for
a larger space for the clinic and other functions. A new supporter
is actively searching for an appropriate building.
As always, Pet Rescue depends on you. Pet Rescue is you - your
homes, your work, your financial and moral support.
Pet Rescue is a 501(c) nonprofit organization staffed entirely by a
dedicated group of unpaid volunteers. Officers include President,
Susette Kamell; Vice President, Ruth Frumkin; and Secretary, Jean
Lienau. Although there are too many other volunteers to name
them all here, we thank them for all the invaluable things they
do.

In honor of all our volunteers who give so much of

In appreciation of all our Guardian Angels
(aka foster families) who care for and
nurture our furry friends until
permanent homes can be found for them.
A big salute to all our adopters who come to
Pet Rescue to find a “new best friend.”
But most of all, a huge THANK YOU to all our financial supporters who make it possible for our
animals to “Wish Upon A Star.” Without you there
would be no hope for a happy future for them.
All of us together can, and do, make a difference
in the lives of so many cats, dogs and humans.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
