Leanne Scalfaro Esteves hasn't added a story.
Pender Perfect Pets is a one person rescue organization committed to
saving Pit Bulls,seniors dogs and large breed dogs mainly in Pender
County Animal Shelter but also in Duplin,and Brunswick shelters in
North Carolina as well.
Pender Perfect Pets has grown
significantly in the past year. The rescue started in the home of
Leanne Esteves.She would take on one maybe two dogs,vet them with
money she raised from local yard sale sites,craigslist and even
selling picture frames she made. Leanne found the need for the
particular dogs she saved was mind blowing. Pit bulls and seniors
especially are some of the most forgotten about dogs in shelters. They
are over looked for puppys or "more adoptable dogs" by a lot
of other rescues. While Leanne understands the need to have a high
adoption rate with rescues in order to continue saving dogs..it still
amazed her how many Pit Bulls and seniors who were so friendly and so
loving were not even considered because of their age or breed.
Leanne set out to change the way rescue was done and so far 6
years later she is still continuing to make a difference for these so
called "un adoptables" but at this point is barely making it
by to continue to help these dogs.
Pender Perfect Pets does not
refuse to take on a dog with heartworms,does not refuse to take on a
dog with special needs but the reality is most of the time the dogs
she helps are unfortunately going to cost more to get medical care
for. Spaying and neutering,shots etc the normal stuff already takes a
good chunk of fundraising but when you get into heartworm postive
dogs,or dogs with hip dysplasia ,dogs who need amputations...the cost
goes up significantly. On top of that providing food and crates to
fosters while these dogs are in foster care for sometimes upwards of 6
months can be financially devastating as well.
Pender Perfect
Pets wants to continue to save un wanted shelter pets but cant do it
without your help. Please consider donating so we can continue to give
a Pit Bull or senior dog a second chance at life. Thank you for you
continued support after all of these years<3
