Pansy’s Pet Charity: the Legacy She Left Was Love

“From the time I was born to the time my mom died, I’ve never known my mom to be without a pet, let alone a couple of species of pets. We had everything – dogs were a staple, she had 50-60 dogs in her lifetime, every one of them had been abandoned. We had a goose named Waddles that we would take to the beach with us. We had a tortoise that lived in our bathroom, and even a cockatoo, and these were stray or abandoned animals.”
