MF DOGS
“I founded MFDR in 2020, but I found myself in 2007. My first dog; my first foster; my first steps into the rest of my life. I was 17 when I graduated high school and bought (yep, bought) my first dog; purebred Golden. My heart-dog, Jackson. Age 18 when I got my first taste of fostering, also a golden, Jackson’s “naughty” brother. It sparked a fiery passion in me that has never stopped burning. To take in a dog that needs you, to be that dog’s everything; and then to set them free into their new beautiful life. Sometimes it’s a melting, smoldering passion; at times it seems that we can never do enough to help them; at times it hurts like hell to let them go. But that changed face of a rescued dog. That level of raw emotion. It’s empowering, filling the spirit with a glowing, illuminating love. Worth it every time.
Our family has since personally fostered over a hundred dogs and several dozens of cats through various rescue organizations, and largely on our own at our own expense. Through the encouragement and help of several friends, motivation from four medical cases we’d taken on ourselves in the past year, and a giant kick in the sweatpants, we finally filed as a Virginia business and started the non-profit process in January 2020. Here goes everything!”
-MFDR Founder, Johanna Garvey, DVM
