Our President - Robin Roberts has been an animal lover her entire life. Animals naturally gravitate to her. Over 2013 she gathered area friends and community professionals to create Critter Mama Rescue, Inc. There is a warm outpouring of support, media coverage and private donations who continue to support the mission of this business.
We primarily work with one local Vet, Dr. Mark Wallace - About Pets, Inc - to care for all of our dogs and puppies we've rescued. We do occasionally rescue and re-home Cats and kittens under special circumstances.
Our Community relationships are the cornerstone of our ability to rescue, vet and care for abandoned, owner relinquished and neglected animals and then find them good, safe forever homes.
All of our work is done with a few faithful volunteers. These wonderful people assist us at local fundraising events where we occasionally showcase our adoptable dogs. Without our volunteers, continual fundraising efforts, our Board of Directors, and our community of support, we could not be as successful as we are in our goals for our rescue needing love, care and forever homes.
