The animal rescue operation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located on the property of the director, Regina Willen, who is an animal behaviorist.
Willen previously was part of a successful program at the Montgomery County Animal Resource Center. The program incorporated outdoor walks and a living room-like setting, which helped dogs in the shelter become less stressed and more adoptable.
