Right before moving to the other side of the world, a group of us decided that it would be a wonderful idea to try and pull off a no cost spay and neuter clinic for pets of the homeless population, in one month… Yes, we are an ambitious group, sometimes too ambitious. Demi’s Animal Rescue [...]
Every person that is involved in non-profit work knows one thing… There are never enough people willing to help push your organization further, and accomplish your mission. My plan when I arrived in Australia was to get involved with rescues, sanctuaries, or other nonprofits I cared about. The plan is to learn from them and [...]
Living in a brand new country that is known for it’s wild life… dangerous and poisonous wildlife, is something that takes some adjusting. Although we haven’t seen much yet, we have seen a variety of new birds, lizards, and the Cane Toad… Upon arriving to our first sit, we were warned about a large poisonous [...]
October 31st, 2016 Well, I finally made it. After a week in Los Angeles visiting friends, over 16 hours on an airplane, getting sick and getting an ear infection, I FINALLY am starting to settle in here in Brisbane, Australia.

I was scrolling through Facebook the other day and found and interesting article. It spoke of a woman who was denied an adoption. Nothing too earth shattering, until I found out who she was. Liz Baker, the current executive director for Greatergood.org. Her resume is polished with some of the most esteemed animal organizations and [...]
Nemo was just a kitten whose condition reflected neglect and malnutrition when I first saw her. I met Nemo in Antonito, Colorado, which is home to a population of stray cats and dogs, and is also the reason I went to volunteer at their community spay and neuter clinic. When I brought her home to Demi’s [...]
It is very common that I hear or see, specifically on social media, how doomed the Millennial generation is. “These young people have their heads in their phones, are lazy, and most of all stupid.” I see this all of the time and for a while, I agreed. I was embarrassed by these people, I [...]
I recently was asked, “What makes your organization different from other rescue groups and shelters?
