Episode 61 is an opportunity to spotlight the efforts of our community to act humanely to our pets. Jeri Caprio and Sharon DiPietro are committed to the abandoned pets (both dogs and cats) who are re-homed by the compassionate staff and volunteers at Tri-County Animal Rescue (TCAR). Jeri has established a non-profit to raise funds for this cause, Horses and Hounds Charitable Foundation. Originally focused on the humane treatment of "retired" greyhounds from our racetracks, her focus has been redirected to abandoned pets with the elimination of greyhound racing in Florida. TCAR has assumed the task of offering abandoned pets an opportunity to find a fur-ever homes, This "no-kill" shelter is offering veterinary services and adoption opportunities for thousands of pets. TCAR is proud to have saved over 88,000 pets since their establishment in 1996. The 18th Annual Doggie and Kittie Ball (to be held on March 18th at the Boca West Country Club) will be an opportunity for residents to support TCAR and have a great evening!
