lick spotlight - Canine Rescue Barbie Yonce

Barbie Yonce developed a love for animals when she volunteered at an animal rescue. Since then, Barbie has personally saved many a stray soul and that passion and love of pets turned into her own formal non profit rescue organization "Canine Rescue." Since that time, Barbie has saved 100's of unwanted animals giving them a new lease on life and uniting them with people who really care, offering so many pets a new beginning. We hope you will donate to Barbie's foundation and help her continue her wonderful work for many more years to come. Her contact information can be found at the end of this article. No donation is too small and All are appreciated. Thank you. Barbara Jayne/Lick Magazine. LICK MAGAZINE: Why did you decide to create a pet non-profit?

BARBIE YONCE: I developed a love for animals as a child. We always had a family dog or cat. This was back in the day where your children could play outside and neighbors watched out for neighbors. With that being said, I was always taking walks and looking for animals that looked homeless, hurt, or hungry. My first animal rescue was when I was around 6 years old. I found a small puppy that was crying so I took her home and told my mom where I found her and that she was lost and needed our help. I fed her a hot dog. We did end up finding her rightful family and they were so glad to get her back. I learned at an early age that animals have feelings and depend on us to love and care for them.
