Somers Volunteer Takes Animal Rescue In Different Direction

The first to find a home was a dachshund from a high-kill shelter in Harlem, but the group of Bergen, Rockland and Tolland County women who placed him have much more in store for animals in need. Real Dog Rescue was founded last December by five friends who met through their work at Oakland's RBARI and left to take things in a different direction: "Our mission is to take in every dog that we can, regardless of their age, breed, medical condition or where they come from," Chapman told Daily Voice.
