Harmony Rescue, Inc. is a non-profit organization for animals. We take in animals from the surrounding counties on a case by case basis. Our goal is to
help rehabilitate the animals and move them into forever homes or other rescues who find them a forever home. Volunteers are needed at various times
to assist Harmony Rescue with this process. |
