“RJFF is maybe 16 but definitely acts like 6! She runs around the house like a Dik-dik (Google it!) She loves lounging in the sun, or cozying up in blankets. Her favorite things are belly rubs and dinner time! She is good with dogs AND cats; she doesn’t discriminate when it comes to cuddling!”

“Saving one dog will not change the world, but surely for that one dog, the world will change forever.”

Karen Davison
