Description
In 1981, Donna Nives, Gloria Scheuer and Pam Fahnestock became increasingly concerned about the growing number of fine dogs that were spending the best part of their lives in dog pounds because the public was not aware that they were available for adoption. As the three women traveled from Greenwich to Stamford to Ridgefield and as far away as the Westchester pounds and Humane Societies, they came to realize that the abandoned and/or unwanted dog population was exploding.
The three friends began by putting ads in local newspapers describing various dogs that were available. The response was so overwhelming that they decided to organize a small group of dog lovers into an agency to list and advertise in a more frequent and orderly fashion.
The need for funds to pay for the growing advertising bills led them to incorporate in the state of Connecticut and then to apply for a tax deductible status with the I.R.S. That designation was granted in February of 1982 and the group began to solicit funds to pay for an expanded advertising program as well as the growing number of dogs that needed medical attention and to be spayed or neutered.
