Trivia

Harry and wife Terri have almost become professional rescuers. They have built a kennel and are also converting an old barn into a house, for some of the dogs they have saved from death row. They normally have 30 - 50 dogs and have placed 100's of dogs in new homes.

When they married, Terri had an Airedale and Harry had a Saint Bernard and a Labrador Retriever. When they move to the country, their children started bringing orphaned or injured forest animals.

Terri being a nurse by education, would help with their healing until they could get back on their feet.  Than came the call that two young tigers need a temporary home. This temporary arrangement lasted almost 15 years. This started a foster care program that included dozens of tigers, jaguars, leopards, cervals, and a host of other exotic young. Terri would feed and take care of the young. Harry would feed and take care of the older ones. Terri would give tours to different school classes for their field trips.

Terri and Harry ask for everyone to please spay and neuter your pets. Learn more about All Dogs Great and Small Rescue.
