Ellie Mae is an adorable beagle pup who was rescued from a very bad situation when she was only 10 weeks old.

In February 2014, Lisa and some volunteers from an animal rescue group in California finally captured Savannah, a one-year-old yellow Labrador, on the side of the road after a week-long search and rescue effort. Savannah had been hit by a car and her leg was badly injured.
You helped Junkyard the bulldog get his emergency sugery when he became very sick. Read what his mom Ashley had to say in her GreatNonprofits review:
Emily and her family were going through a devastating time. They had lost two of their beloved older pets to cancer within one week.

KC, an Appaloosa gelding and his caregiver, Amber, have been a team since before the start of the new millenium. Their bond was immediate, as soon as they met they were a great pair. As Amber says, “We just get each other. He's not just an animal, he's one of my best friends.”
