Everyone loves to cheer for the underdog, especially Lara, a four-year-old purebred English lab used as a backyard breeder who was confined to a small concrete slab before being rescued by a Good Samaritan. Join us in following Lara, now 30 pounds lighter, with her new family: Lillian Cox, a freelance writer; Joey Pearson, a sophomore at Georgetown University; Barney, a once severely neglected St. Bernard; Ollie, a rescued dachshund-mix; and Lucy, an umbrella cockatoo - and head of the pack.

FOSTERS & DONORS NEEDED!
Happy endings like these are few and far between.
Only a handful of animals can be helped unless the general public is willing to get involved.
If you want to be part of the solution you can do so in several ways: fostering, adopting, donating money, public relations, fund raising and screening/placing prospective foster and adoptive families.
