Save Ohio Pets teamed up with the Rascal Unit in February to help more family pets in the Columbus area. The Tortorella Foundation helped sponsor the event that had 46 on site spay and neuters, 56 pets vaccinated and micro-chipped. Another 20 were spayed days later with the help of Columbus Humane.

Hannah and Brad Larsen, Diana Davidson and John and Christine Tortorella of the Columbus Blue Jackets were all on site to support the cause in different ways.

Hannah Larsen is a regular volunteer for Save Ohio Pets in their regular vet clinics. Larsen is the wife of Blue Jackets' assistant coach Brad Larsen.

Hannah Larsen, who volunteers regularly for Save Ohio Pets, spent the day grooming the animals that came in.

Diana Davidson stayed very busy talking to pet owners, bringing the animals to and from spay and neuter procedures, helping with records and paperwork and comforting the

So many volunteers are necessary for a successful event like this, including veterinarians, groomers, vet techs and loving, comforting arms.

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.
