- Twelve years ago I moved to Hidden Valley in Maricopa.  One by one little critters started showing up at my door.  Taking in one or more at a time, not being able to turn anyone away, my rescue began to grow.  This year after watching Oprah's show on "Puppy Mills", I knew I had to make a committment to thelp animals and make it official.  I am now a 501 (c) (3) animal rescue with the help of Kimberly Diedrich from "Pet Social Worker", who walked me through the steps I needed to take.  The name of my rescue is "PLEASE RESCUE ME".
- Today I have 27 dogs, 4 cats, 1 llama, 1 donkey, 8 pot-bellied pigs, 3 Pygmy goats, 12 rabbits, 2 cockatiels, 5 parakeets, 6 ducks, 3 geese, 2 turkeys, 2 peacocks, 2 roosters and a dozen chickens.  Almost every pet is here for the long haul, but we do have some dogs who are up for adoption.
- Mainly I try to focus on finding homes for unwanted and abandoned pets.  It is very difficult to take in any additional pets personally at this time because of the care necessary and the finances needed.  Sometimes I am able to find temporary foster homes which are a blessing.
- In addition to rehoming, I help out with the arrangements to spay and neuter pets.  I make appointments and get discount coupons to make it as easy as possible for you to have your pet fixed.
- I try to give you information on how to keep your pet instead of giving it up for adoption.  There are many things that can be done to set up your house to keep a pet who may need some extra care.  There are ways to keep them outside, even in our Arizona heat, that may be all you need to do to keep your pet.
- I work with the local shelters and the community to find homes and find the owners of lost, abandoned and/or found pets in our area.
- Space is limited, but when available I do board dogs to make extra income to feed all of the critters.
- Please call or email me if you have any questions or problems with your pets.  If I can't help I can recommend someone who may be able to help you.  There are low-cost vets who make house calls in our area who may be of help.
- My place isn't fancy but it is clean and filled with lots of love and compassion and care for all those who need a place to call home.  God bless you all and thank you for any help you can give in the way of food, toys, blankets, kennels and funds.  Everything is appreciated.
