Bethel Animal Rescue, Inc.

Debra Hardy had a vision, but it came to her in the form of a small, emaciated Cocker Spaniel dog who had been found in the Arbuckle Mountains, living on deer corn and anything else edible, for quite some time. The little dog, whom Debra named "Peter" was in very poor condition. His dull coat was matted, one eye was damaged to the point that it would be necessary to remove it. As weak as he was, Peter managed to wag his tail when he heard Deb's voice. Peter is now a healthy, happy boy. It is unimaginable what that little fellow endured during his months alone. Thanks to Debra, he and many more like him will never be alone, again. While still in its infancy, Bethel Animal Rescue has become a very active shelter in Murray County and houses several adoptable animals.
