While fostering a little senior rescue dog named Grandma, a connection transpired. From that connection came healing. Healing for Grandma, a terribly abused Chihuahua, and healing for her person. Together, the pair learned how to come to terms with their traumatic pasts and move forward. Life-long animal advocate and co-founder of Advocates 4 Animals, Inc., Stacey Ritz has always understood that we can take positive actions to help homeless animals; we can change their lives for the better. But what she learned through rescuing animals is that pets have a way of saving us, too.
"I've been told that I changed Grandma's life, but what most people don't realize is that the little senior dog saved mine." -Author, Stacey Ritz
