“Visiting the new shelter was such an emotional moment. Seeing how much it had grown, knowing the love and care that goes into every animal there, only deepened our appreciation for El Refugio. They gave Bootzie a second chance, and they’ll always hold a special place in our hearts. We can’t recommend them enough for anyone looking to find their own Bootzie.”
