A Home for Bane

Bane and childrenBane 3
Bane

The Tortorella Family Foundation received a heartbreaking request to rehome a sweet, special needs pittie who lives in Ohio.  If anyone can help, we’d be very grateful as would his family.  Bane is two-year-old paraplegic dog who is terrific with dogs and cats and adores his two little human sisters who call him “Bean”. Due to financial reasons, his family cannot keep him. It is obvious that they provide him with lots of love and excellent care. They would like Bane to go to a good home or rescue that can provide him with the therapy he needs to strengthen his muscles. He is UTD on all vaccines and has been neutered. Please share Bane’s story far and wide.

Lucy Spotlighted on Hockey & Hounds Broadcast

Sweet Lucy

I LOVE LUCY!

How could you not adore this sweet-faced, boxer-pit mix? Lucy was found living in deplorable conditions with a fever and multiple wounds from being chained. Thankfully, she was rescued by Scioto Area Humane Society of Ohio and taken to a veterinarian. Lucy has given birth to a few litters and needs to be spayed. She is about 3 years-old and is staying with a foster. Lucy is great with kids of all ages but doesn’t understand how to behave with other dogs, so it would be best if she was the only dog in the house. If you are interested in meeting this love-bug and giving her story a happy ending, please call Linda Kennedy Patrick with the Scioto Humane Society at 740-352-3339.

Lucy with her foster family.

Lucy with her foster family.

Juliet’s Mange Is Gone & She Is Looking For a New Family!

IMG_1447

Suruluna learned of a dog, Juliet, in rural North Carolina who was stricken with a terrible case of mange. She was nearly euthanized at her shelter, as they were uncertain of her skin condition. After a group effort to get her condition urgently looked at by a vet while in the shelter’s care, Suruluna stepped up and rescued Juliet, transporting her to New York.

Suruluna treated Juliet and she is getting along well with her new friends at Suruluna. This gorgeous little girl is good with people, dogs and cats they hope to find her a home soon!

For more information about Suruluna, to adopt Juliet or to donate to this organization, visit www.suruluna.org.

ADOPT ME: Luna Has Special Needs & Gifts!

Luna

If you position Luna just right, you might be able to pick up HBO. It’s a little ironic that with ears this big, sweet Luna can’t hear a thing; she’s deaf but it doesn’t slow her down one bit.

She knows a ton of commands by hand signal and is a really smart girl. She’s around 6-years-old, crate trained, energetic and active, a little bit selective with her dog friends, and would be a good fit for kids around 12 and older.

To learn more about Luna, e-mail trainer@spca914.org, or call (914) 941-2896 x 24!

Luna is a part of the Tortorella Foundation sponsored “The Way Home” program. Luna and all of the SPCA of Westchester’s animals can be seen at www.spca914.org and the SPCA of Westchester is located in Briarcliff Manor, NY.

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.
