Recently, I had the honor to visit the Lancaster Animal Care Center in Lancaster, CA. Now, when I say "the honor," what I mean is the honor of being introduced to so many amazingly beautiful dogs. They were friendly, loving, and some even comical. Unfortunately, they only have limited time there until they are euthanized. It is so unfair. The center itself is not a bad place, but they can only hold so many dogs for so long until it becomes overwhelming. I witnessed the unthinkable without wanting to. Beautiful, precious, innocent creatures all dead after being euthanized. They did nothing wrong. I will never forget this image. The people who dumped them there are the guilty parties. After using these poor souls for fighting, forced pregnancies, and breeding for profit, these dogs are, more or less, not needed anymore, so they are, without an ounce of empathy, dropped off to be killed.

Seeing this inspired me to start this GoFundMe page. The people I went to the Lancaster Animal Care Center were representing the animal rescue STARTS WITH ONE TODAY. They are an amazing group of people who spend countless hours rescuing dogs from kill shelters and set them up with fosters. These are not people with nothing else to do. These volunteers run their own businesses, work full time jobs and otherwise have very full lives. They are overwhelmed with the desire to help these helpless animals, especially after witnessing what I did. Again, that's what prompted me to set up this Fund.

I spent about four hours at the Center last week. They were celebrating St Patricks Day for the dogs and the volunteers brought an amazing amount of food and treats. Not just any food. It was the brand Just For Dogs, very high end. Actually human grade. The treats were just as nutritious. They were able to rescue four dogs that day since they had four fosters set up. That is just a fraction of the amount of dogs that are there, but they can't release dogs without having them set up to go somewhere. The dog posted is one of the great dogs they rescued. He is now living on a horse farm with amazing people. The dogs name is Hussle.

The amount we are asking for is not really that much for what we need to do, so if you have the resources, please contribute as much as you can. There are plenty of caring, animal-loving celebs that live in this area. Perhaps if they paid a visit to the Lancaster Animal Center, their eyes would be opened. I guarantee, they will overflow with tears.

Thank you. God bless you all, and remember, God spelled backwards is Dog.
