Hurricane Ian’s horrendous path of destruction through southwestern Florida at the end of September displaced many families from their beloved pets. In the hurricane’s aftermath, one Florida-based animal rescue facility is on a mission to provide shelter, food and medical care to as many furry friends as possible.
Big Dog Ranch Rescue, located in Loxahatchee, Florida, just northwest of West Palm Beach, was founded in 2008 by Laurie Simmons. Since then, it has become the largest no-kill dog rescue in the United States, “committed to rescuing, nurturing and adopting dogs into loving homes,” according to its Twitter page.
