NEW HOME FOR SHERMAN! — At Pets Alive Middletown

961717_10204566720662506_1409418497_n

You may remember Sherman for his starring role in a news story for NEWS 12 WESTCHESTER for the SPCA of Westchester back in October or this video on youtube. Or maybe from many of the Adopt Me? posts on The Tortorella Foundation’s Facebook site (click here to reach our Facebook site).  Sherman is taking THE NEXT STEP toward his forever home.

It’s not a permanent home, but Sherman was moved to PETS ALIVE in Middletown (an animal sanctuary) where he has his own shelter and fenced “yard” to play in until he finds his forever home. The Tortorella Foundation designated funds to Pets Alive Middletown for one of two shelters, including the one where Sherman now resides until his family finds him.

“Anything that helps improve a dog’s chances of being adopted is near to my heart,” said Debbie Slottko Pesola, a volunteer for Pet’s Alive in Middletown about the donated shelters. “I had heard these ‘sheds’ were coming and I was excited. But when I saw them tonight … I realized that they were so much nicer than anything I could have imagined. They are amazing!!!”

Like many dogs who end up in shelters, Sherman has had trouble really letting his true colors show when people come to visit. He lived at the SPCA of Westchester for more than a year, where he made huge leaps in social interaction, and before that was at a different shelter.

Sherman made great strides in the SPCA  The Way Home Program and was welcomed into Pets Alive to take the next step toward 10936541_10204566720342498_12783254_o
finding a forever home. They, too, have trainers who specialize in “hard to place” dogs with one-on-one attention and love to hopefully get them ready for their forever home.

SHERMAN is perfect for just this kind of attention and will hopefully find the right family for him when he is able to leave “shelter” life behind him and put his best paw forward.

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.
