Mimi's Place

I started a dog rescue in my small South Carolina town and surrounding areas. This town and the surrounding areas have seen a horrible increase in dog welfare, abandonment, and more. There was a severe lack of aid for the area's needy animals. My children are grown, and as an empty nester, I became the crazy dog lady in the community. The number of emaciated dogs I saw chained up or on the side of the road, the sad sights of dogs run over and left like they were some rodent, and all the other terrible sites in the town were heartbreaking. I began taking in strays and working in the community however I could. When the local shelter had to close due to a horrible distemper outbreak, the police knocked on my door, asking if I could help. I thought, surely, they were desperate to turn to the crazy dog lady for help instead of an up-and-running profit. That's when I discovered the lack of animal rescues in my area. I opened my doors to three dogs thanks to those cop's trust in me, and my life has been forever changed. One of those three dogs, Jade, began having seizures the day after the cops brought her to me. During my first week with her alone, I accrued over 3,000 vet bills. I knew then that I could not do it alone if I wanted to get serious. I decided it was necessary to take a serious stand; I took a big step and started the rescue of Mimis Place, filing it as a 501(c)(3) eligible.
