My friend Gerda, who has a heart of gold, just got her rescue website up. Animal Aid is a 501 (C) 3 not for profit organization.
I especially would like you to look at the "About" section. Gerda has written a beautiful introduction. When you see the photo of Gerda and Sugar (RIP) in her hospital bed, you will surely be brought to tears.
This woman is an Angel, in my eyes. I am very fortunate to have her as a friend. I have learned so much from her about dogs and life.
Thank you for looking:
