Thanks to the devotion and patience of Bella Run Equine of Ohio, Chevy enjoys a happy life. This rescued horse was close to death, but Bella Run felt strongly that they could help her. And so they did. To see the moving video that documents Chevy’s journey to health, click here. 
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.

The Tortorella Family Foundation was proud to give grants in 2019 to the following organizations whose dedication and hard work have changed life for many animals: Bella Run Equine of Athens, Ohio rescues and rehomes horses from inhumane and deadly situations at auctions. They bring malnourished and abused equines to their sanctuary where they receive veterinary treatment, enrichment and love.
Seniors enrolled in Life Care Alliance of Columbus, Ohio’s programs receive food and veterinary care for their companion pets. This effort helps to keep beloved animals with their owners. Sheila Clifton, founder of Yellow Rabbit Animal Rescue in Mississippi, takes in abandoned and abused dogs and cats, gets them veterinary care and finds them permanent homes. The Foundation donated toward a concrete slab for the building of a physical shelter for the dogs that would provide protection from the elements and be easy to sterilize to prevent contagious diseases from spreading. The Tortorella Family Foundation applauds the efforts of these three humane organizations and is grateful to offer help with their missions. Please visit their websites and facebook pages to learn more about what they do.
