The Florida Rottweiler Rescue Ranch & Sanctuary moved their location from Dover, FL to Alachua County in June of this year. Since they have been here, they have donated tons and tons of dog food, cat food, litter, etc. to Putnam, Bradford, Suwannee, Live Oak, Madison, and Lake City. They also donate food to pet food pantries and pet food drives including the American Legion in Bronson, Lokis Lunchbox in Keystone, Scruffy’s Snack Shack in Starke to name a few. Joe Pimentel, the owner and operator of the Florida Rottweiler Rescue Ranch, motto is “pay it forward.” What an exceptional example of community involvement.
I am Mary Lorenzi and I help transport animals from shelters to rescues. I've been involved with animal welfare/rescue for years. It is my passion. Sometimes I may be transporting animals from shelters to the University of Florida Community Outreach Program for vetting, spays and neuters. Or you may see me at the Humane Society of North Central Florida for the same. I bought the van in my picture in April of 2021 for the sole purpose of transporting animals.
I also work closely with Bradford and Levy County welfare/rescue facilities too. Luckily Alachua and Levy County facilities have access to vet care, but Bradford County does not. So, at least once, but mostly twice a week, I go to the Bradford shelter and take the animals that need vetting to either UF Community Outreach or the North Central Florida Humane Society.
I transport animals for any rescue in Florida that needs my help. There are about twenty or more that I have worked with. Wherever there are rescues and animals in need, you will find me.
