🏛️ Founding Supporters of the Campus

For more than a year, Bartow Rescue & Resources (formerly Bogey's Buddies) has been searching for the right property to become the permanent home of the Bartow Rescue & Resources Campus.

We aren't simply looking for a building.

We are looking for the people who will build it with us: our Founding Supporters.

🌟 Our Vision

Our vision is more than a shelter. It is a place where compassion, veterinary care, education, and community come together to serve both pets and the people who love them.

Imagine a place where...

🐶 Families can access affordable veterinary care before they are forced to surrender a beloved pet

🐶 Rescued dogs have a safe place to heal while they wait for loving homes

🏠 Boarding, daycare, and grooming help fund lifesaving rescue work

🤝 Volunteers, fosters, and adopters become part of a community dedicated to giving animals a second chance

📚 Children learn kindness and responsible pet ownership

❤️ Local nonprofits work together because we believe that when people are supported, pets stay with the families who love them

This isn't simply a building.

It is a solution to problems our community faces every day.

🗺️ Why Bartow County?

As we searched for the right property, we also asked a difficult question:

Should we build somewhere else?

We researched every county within approximately 50 miles of Bartow County, looking at the resources available for pets and their families.

What we discovered only strengthened our commitment to stay.

Surrounding Counties Have...	Bartow County Has...
✅ Public animal shelters	❌ No public shelter
✅ Low-cost veterinary services	❌ No permanent low-cost clinic
✅ Multiple rescue organizations	❌ Very few with capacity to meet the need

For countless families and animals, Bartow Rescue & Resources is often the only place to turn.

That is why this vision matters.

We aren't trying to duplicate services that already exist.

We are working to build the resources our community has never had.

🏗️ What We're Building

Our Bartow Rescue & Resources Campus will provide:

🐾 Lifesaving rescue and adoption services
💊 Affordable veterinary care
🏠 Foster support
🛏️ Boarding services
🐩 Daycare and grooming
🌍 Community outreach and education
🤲 Partnerships with organizations that strengthen both pets and people

By creating sustainable sources of revenue alongside charitable support, this center will continue serving Bartow County for generations to come.

💛 How You Can Help

Every gift moves us one step closer.

Whether you give $50, $100, or $250, you become part of something bigger than yourself. Every dollar helps us open doors that will save lives, keep families together, and provide hope where it has never existed before.

But we are also searching for something extraordinary.

We are praying for visionary partners who believe in creating a legacy. Individuals, families, businesses, and foundations who understand that one transformational gift can change an entire community.

Perhaps it is the donation of land. 🏡

Perhaps it is the gift that makes the purchase of our permanent home possible.

Perhaps it is the investment that allows affordable veterinary care to become a reality for thousands of families who otherwise have nowhere to turn.

These are not simply donations.

They are investments in the future of Bartow County.

🌅 A Legacy That Lasts

Long after all of us are gone, this center can continue saving lives.

🐕 Thousands of animals will find safety
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Families will stay together because they can afford the care their pets need
👧 Children will grow up learning compassion
🙋 Volunteers will discover purpose
💔 People facing hardship will find hope

Generations from now, someone will walk through those doors with a frightened puppy, an injured dog, or nowhere else to turn — and they will receive help because someone chose to leave a legacy.
We hope to provide an incubator model for other fledgling organizations as well as grants to replicate this model in other communities in need.

That is the future we are building.

If this vision speaks to your heart, we would be honored to share it with you. Whether your gift is large or small, you become part of a story that will continue long after today.

Together, we can build more than a facility.

Together, we can build a legacy of compassion for Bartow County. 🐾❤️

Reach out today; we can plan how your gift will be remembered for generations.
