HAPPY TAILS! Maggie has come a long way!

maggie1

Maggie was from a shelter in the south where she had lived since she was four months old. When she arrived at the SPCA of Westchester, she was three, her skin was in horrific condition and she was not social around dogs, according to the SPCA.  The Way Hmaggie2ome trainers at SPCA used the B.A.T. (Behavior Adjustment Training) technique to help her settle on leash and were able to get her playing with dogs again. Maggie arrived at SPCA in March 0f 2016 and spent more than a year there in The Way Home program. Today she is doing great with her new family.

This incredible girl received her Bachelor’s degree from C.L.A.S.S., learned how to play with other dogs and walk smoothly on leash. Canine Life and Social Skills (C.L.A.S.S.) is an educational program to promote training focused on the use of positive reinforcement and to strengthen relationships between humans and their canine companions.

Maggie is now sleeping in a nice, warm and cuddly bed for the first time in her life with her new forever home! To learn more about The Way Home program, click here.

OUR MISSION

The John and Christine Tortorella Family Foundation for Giving Back, was created to enable our family to reach out to more children in disadvantaged situations, to help others who work to improve the lives of these children and their families, and to help those who protect children, animals and our environment from harm.

We believe that reading and writing skills are the cornerstones to a good education, and that exposure to music and art encourages the creative process in children. Our own literacy program,
Enlighten Your World … READ! is our personal commitment to reach out and encourage the interest of children in reading, writing, music and art.

You are invited to browse our website to see some of the activities that we are involved in and to consider sponsorship of the program. All proifits of book sales go into the foundation literacy program for disadvantaged children.

We pledge to be forthright and involved with each entity we designate a recipient of any dollars we give through the foundation. Our family will often respond to time sensitive critical situations, with our personal support, because the need is immediate. There are often crisis situations, and immediately help may save a life of an animal. This can leave no time to properly put it through the processes of our foundation’s polices of discretion and discernment.

And thank you for giving back to those in need in your community.
