PET RESCUE’S 30TH YEAR - Where We Are Now<br />
More of you are here celebrating with us than ever before. We think that means that<br />
more of you believe in what we do. So it seems that going all out for our cats and dogs<br />
while reaching out to more of them has your approval. That makes us truly proud and<br />
we are so grateful to have you with us and around us.<br />
We’re happy to let you know that in addition to rescuing animals from dire conditions<br />
and finding them homes (about 700 in this past year), we’ve extended our work further.<br />
We’re changing the lives of dogs at the Mount Vernon Animal Shelter. <strong>Pet</strong> <strong>Rescue</strong> has<br />
helped put into effect a program in which volunteers walk them every single day,<br />
bring in funds to make the shelter safer, cleaner and more comfortable and has trainers<br />
working with the dog walkers and evaluating and teaching the dogs how to behave—how<br />
to sell themselves to adopters—so that instead of languishing in runs or<br />
being euthanized, they are going to homes. (A portion of the proceeds from this Gala<br />
will help these dogs and our clinic is pitching in to neuter and spay them).<br />
<strong>Pet</strong> <strong>Rescue</strong>rs are now helping out at the sorely neglected Harrison shelter too and<br />
we’ve taken in a number of its animals for adoption.<br />
We’ve been more active than ever in Trap Neuter Release (TNR) for feral cats, networking<br />
with other groups and individuals. We trap, spay/neuter and keep the adoptable<br />
cats, and release the healthy ones, hundreds of them in the past year. On March<br />
10 th we’re holding our first TNR workshop. Sign up for it!<br />
<strong>Pet</strong> <strong>Rescue</strong> Cats North in Putnam Valley is giving cushy space to some of our unadoptable<br />
cats while we’re taking their adoptable ones down here. In addition, they’re placing<br />
cats with adopters who live nearby.<br />
We’re in on the formation of an area coalition (still unnamed) to act against puppy<br />
mills. Since store puppies all come from notoriously cruel puppy mills, we’re aiming to<br />
educate everyone not to buy those puppies nor buy anything from the stores that sell<br />
them.<br />
After all these years, we've fine-tuned our unique volunteer-based structure with new<br />
by-laws. We now have a seven-member board and eleven committees.<br />
With all of the above and more, we’ve earned the Guidestar Exchange Seal listing.<br />
Guidestar registers charities to guide foundations and other donors in their giving.<br />
We’ll show up well and trust that donors will notice.<br />
Our volunteers work hard, each in many ways, but without support from others, we<br />
couldn’t go on. We are sincerely grateful to every one of you.<br />
Sue Kamell<br />
President
OUR HISTORY<br />
In 1982, Sue Kamell, with another volunteer and the manager of the Elmsford<br />
shelter, left after trying unsuccessfully to persuade its director to improve<br />
conditions for the animals. They were convinced they could do better.<br />
Within days, their operation was busy with animals they picked up from the<br />
streets themselves and were brought to them. The three women came up<br />
with the name <strong>Pet</strong> <strong>Rescue</strong> for their ads to make sure adopters knew that<br />
they were not breeders, that their animals had been around, had histories.<br />
At first they could accommodate all of the cats and dogs in their homes but<br />
as they took in more, some of the dogs were boarded out, none for long<br />
because adoptions were brisk.<br />
In 1985, Sue moved with the whole menagerie to twenty acres on Buckhill<br />
Road in Harrison. There the animals had a campus that attracted a lot of<br />
adopters. But it wasn’t a legal shelter so after a little over two years, Sue<br />
and Jackie Leake, who adopted a dog from <strong>Pet</strong> <strong>Rescue</strong> and then stayed to<br />
work for it, had to find another place. Although the new place, a house in<br />
Duchess County wasn’t legal either, the local officials were delighted to<br />
discover them and promptly asked them to take in their dogs. They were<br />
safe for a while.<br />
While Jackie took over in Duchess, Sue, back in Larchmont along with Rye<br />
resident, Betty di’Iuglio, chauffered animals between Westchester and<br />
Dutchess, upstate to be sheltered, down to be shown for adoption. But in<br />
less than a year, the Dutchess house was filled with Jackie’s special pets<br />
and those brought in by the local PD leaving no room for <strong>Pet</strong> <strong>Rescue</strong>. They<br />
were back where they started, keeping the animals in Sue’s and Betty’s<br />
own homes plus kennels.<br />
After a while, activity eased off as neutering of dogs was becoming more<br />
common. Sue was seriously considering going back to painting when Ruth<br />
Frumkin answered an ad for a puppy that Sue’s daughter, Elizabeth, had<br />
found in Syracuse. The puppy was too unmanageable, even for Ruth, but<br />
she asked if there was any way she could help.<br />
That changed everything.
OUR HISTORY<br />
On her first assignment, going to a housing development to pick up and then<br />
return an adopted cat for neutering, Ruth found an endless supply of other cats<br />
which she brought to Sue’s house. Sue was in deep again. She and Ruth spent<br />
the next summer trapping cats in Flint Park to get them neutered, over 100<br />
of them. <strong>Pet</strong> <strong>Rescue</strong> dealt with cats mostly but then Ruth picked up an SOS<br />
on the internet about dogs in a shelter in North Carolina. They were young<br />
and healthy pets but were going to be killed for lack of shelter space and<br />
people to adopt them.<br />
Since then, for about ten years, Ruth has been arranging transports of dogs<br />
from the South about every two weeks. Sometimes she makes the trip herself.<br />
She has gathered slews of volunteers to receive and foster the dogs<br />
and do a lot else.<br />
<strong>Pet</strong> <strong>Rescue</strong> has modernized. Our website lets adopters see pictures of all of<br />
our beautiful dogs and cats, where and when they can meet them, issues<br />
alerts about those that need special help, and lets people know about<br />
events like the Gala and Hounds on the Sound.<br />
The Cat Palace, a space rented to house cats and a clinic to treat ours and<br />
other unadopted animals, is part of our history too. We’ve been there for<br />
almost four years.<br />
For the last three years, <strong>Pet</strong> <strong>Rescue</strong> had teamed up with the New Rochelle<br />
Humane Society for Hounds on the Sound, a dog and people march and<br />
buoyant fair at Glen Island Park that benefits both organizations.<br />
An extraordinary number of creative and talented volunteers that have<br />
become part of <strong>Pet</strong> <strong>Rescue</strong> over the years carry out with utmost dedication<br />
the mandate in our charter “to do all things necessary and proper to further<br />
the care and humane treatment of pets and to facilitate the private<br />
adoption of cats and dogs” are in our history and assure our future.
John & Denise Mara<br />
Honorees<br />
John Mara is in his 21st season with the Giants<br />
but he has been affiliated with the Giants his<br />
entire life. The franchise was founded in 1925 by<br />
his grandfather, Tim Mara. John joined the Giants<br />
in 1991 after a law career specializing in<br />
labor and employment law and litigation. Now<br />
the franchise’s President and Chief Executive<br />
Officer, he is responsible for all administrative,<br />
legal and financial aspects of the organization.<br />
John & Denise live in Westchester and have 5 children and 3 grandchildren.<br />
They became involved in <strong>Pet</strong> <strong>Rescue</strong> in 2004 when Denise, having recently<br />
lost a dog, wanted to adopt a dog rather than buy one. Her research on <strong>Pet</strong>finder<br />
brought her to <strong>Pet</strong> <strong>Rescue</strong>. Within half an hour of submitting an application<br />
she got a call back about a dog for adoption. That began an 8 year relationship<br />
with <strong>Pet</strong> <strong>Rescue</strong>. They have adopted a total of 4 dogs from <strong>Pet</strong> <strong>Rescue</strong><br />
and their extended family has adopted many more.<br />
Denise has walked dogs, processed applications and found homes for well<br />
over 100 rescues. She says that what impresses her most about <strong>Pet</strong> <strong>Rescue</strong> is<br />
the volunteers, who are all very dedicated and really care about animals they<br />
are helping.<br />
John and Denise have also been extremely generous when it comes to Giants’<br />
resources. The Giants Foundation has made a generous grant to <strong>Pet</strong> <strong>Rescue</strong><br />
annually since 2007. Denise spearheaded a fundraising calendar for <strong>Pet</strong> <strong>Rescue</strong><br />
in 2007. We brought some of our dogs to Giants stadium to pose with the<br />
players; the photos were featured in a calendar which we sold at the stadium<br />
and to supporters. Every year they donate VIP tickets, behind-the-scenes<br />
tours, training camp packages and Giants merchandise for the silent and live<br />
auctions, which have contributed greatly to the success of our Galas.<br />
It would be fair to say that John and Denise have turned every <strong>Pet</strong> <strong>Rescue</strong><br />
volunteer into a huge Giants fan. To <strong>Pet</strong> <strong>Rescue</strong>, the Maras are real winners -<br />
and it’s not only about the Super Bowl.<br />
<strong>Pet</strong> <strong>Rescue</strong> is proud to honor Denise and John Mara who have made such a<br />
huge impact on the success of our organization.
Margaret Reilly-Antalec & Joseph Antalec<br />
Honorees<br />
Margaret Reilly first contacted <strong>Pet</strong> <strong>Rescue</strong><br />
in 1999 on behalf of a stray cat that<br />
she rescued from a friend’s backyard.<br />
The cat turned out to have FIV and Margaret<br />
was very relieved when we found<br />
him a home with a volunteer who had<br />
other cats with FIV. Margaret then<br />
asked how else she could help and that<br />
was that. She helped bring our cats out<br />
to meet potential adopters and attended<br />
meetings of volunteers. She was up for anything and everything.<br />
In 2001 she married Joe Antalec and he got involved too. They do everything<br />
together; Joe says they are joined at the hip “with Velcro.” When we have<br />
our annual tag sale, we count on them working quietly and enthusiastically at<br />
the massive job of organizing the donated books. At the first sale they magically<br />
uncovered some old boards that they set up for shelves, which meant<br />
that instead of lying on the ground unnoticed, the books were sold and<br />
brought in precious money for <strong>Pet</strong> <strong>Rescue</strong>.<br />
Margaret has taught pharmacology to nursing students for 33 years, the last<br />
20 at Beth Israel School of Nursing. She and Joe have been spending winters<br />
in Port Charlotte, Florida since 2002. While in Florida she does volunteer work<br />
at a pharmacy sponsored by St. Vincent de Paul Society which makes medications<br />
available to those who can’t afford them.<br />
She says she likes volunteering with <strong>Pet</strong> <strong>Rescue</strong> because she likes being with<br />
people, doing things to help animals. She is in awe of the work <strong>Pet</strong> <strong>Rescue</strong><br />
does and loves to read the newsletters and emails about our successes. She<br />
was especially touched by the way volunteers came together to try to find<br />
Annie, a small dog who escaped from her adopter and was missing for a<br />
couple of weeks.<br />
Besides the Maras, the Antalecs are our biggest donors. Margaret says she<br />
likes to donate to <strong>Pet</strong> <strong>Rescue</strong> because she knows the money goes directly to<br />
the animals. She makes her donations in memory of KellieAnne, a beautiful<br />
white cat with limited eyesight she adopted in 1996. KellieAnne, whom she<br />
says was her soul mate, died of renal failure in 2007 and she doesn’t want her<br />
to be forgotten.<br />
<strong>Pet</strong> <strong>Rescue</strong> is proud to honor such generous and enthusiastic supporters.
Thank You to our Generous Sponsors<br />
