Hemlock Edge Rescue | Our Story
“THE ROOTS OF LOVE IN RESCUE” | Our Mission
Hemlock Edge Inc is a organization dedicated to rescuing homeless, abandoned & abused animals.
Our Primary Goal is to save the Lives of these Deserving souls and properly match up them up with the right families.
With our Devoted Team, we are able to serve our community by providing education on responsible pet ownership. Strongly believing in the importance of spay/neutering
We provide our animals and adopters with a unique adoption process!! Our "Foster to Adopt" Process has proven most effective with insuring our animal's placement in their forever homes. This also insures the adoptive families are comfortable with their adoption decision!
AFTER ALL ADOPTION IS A LIFETIME COMMITMENT!
Hemlock Edge Rescue, was incorporated in June 2013, but, it didn't start there…..Founder Cris Tornetta, Has always had her hands dirty in rescue since a little girl.. She would shadow her Grandmother learning how to care for abandoned, sick and strayed animals. Despite her Animal Allergies, she always wanted to help assist, love and work for the welfare of the animals. She grew up in this environment, and it all came second nature.
Cris' Grandmother was known as “St. Francis" of the town.
She witnessed her Grandmother struggle to afford Vetting and Support for the Local animals in need..
Cris wanted to give back to the animals that rescued her
She accomplished a few Rescue/Adoptions on her own throughout the years, with the guidance of great rescue organizations, but she was ready to do a Whole lot more!
She realized she needed a team!! From the support of friends, family and mentors they gave her the confidence to fly!
After the launch party of the rescue's incorporation, they went full swing into rescue. A few months into Rescue Cris was struggling with the “run around” & politics from local kill shelters, in her efforts to save the lives of animals in her community.
She took matters into her own hands, cashed in her retirement, bought a minivan, & headed SOUTH! Where she knew she’d make a difference!
Nov. 13’ Hemlock Edge Rescue Drove to 100% Kill shelters All over the mid-south & working alongside Animal control officers. Saving as many lives as they could.
Hemlock has also directed our attention to disaster relief Assisting Farmers, Residents & Shelters in need.
Hemlock Edge Inc is a licensed Animal Transport & Rescuing animals in the Areas of Despair to other rescue organizations. Saving 3 dozens lives each week!
With the Help of Partnering Rescues & a strong Foster/volunteer family, Hemlock NOW has a loud voice in the animal/rescue community!
