The fence sponsored by the Tortorella Foundation has allowed ACT Ohio’s dogs and other animals to enjoy the outside!

 

The Tortorella Foundation saw a need at the Animal Cruelty Taskforce of Ohio (actoh.org) and offered to provide fences for the dogs and other rescue animals being helped and housed at ACT Ohio in Marysville, OH.

The Animal Cruelty Task Force of Ohio has one sole focus, the prevention of the acts of cruelty towards animals through proactive field and investigation work and by focusing on three main pillars as an organization:  Education, Assistance, Enforcement, according to their website. What the Tortorellas have witnessed, however, is equally if not more impressive. ACT Ohio rescued a North Carolina dog named Peanut in January with heart worm and mammary gland tumors. Peanut has since been adopted and treated for heartworm.

In addition, they rescued Laverne and Shirley (two potbelly pigs the foundation brought to their attention) and are aggressively seeking a wonderful home for Laverne and Shirley.

They also took in Booker, a very special dog to the Tortorella family from their days back in Westchester, New York, and found him a forever home. Booker was a long-term shelter dog. Act Ohio does not shy away from an animal with medical issues or special needs. For more information about Act Ohio visit ActOh.org.

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.
