Harley McGuire, SedonaEye.com star pet columnist gives a Shout Out to Red Rose Inspiration Inc. and its Rosey

Sedona AZ (August 11, 2013)Red Rose Inspiration For Animals does more than promote community events for animal rescue. When rottie pit-bull mix Rosey passed from osteosarcoma (bone cancer), Red Rose founder Tina Allegrezza felt the need to continue helping animals in Rosey’s honor so Red Rose Inspiration for Animals Inc. was formed in 2009.

“While Rosey was alive she used to help me work dogs to rehabilitate them and grow their confidence. After Rosey passed, I continued to work with fear-based dogs realizing that their chances of being adopted were much less than what many people consider ‘perfect dogs’ – the ones that play with Frisbees and balls ready to jump in the car and go for a ride to the dog park,” Tina explained.

Today Red Rose has taken on a life of its own with programs created to meet a growing need. Did you know that the United States faces a severe pet over-population crisis and spay neuter is the only way to overcome it?

SedonaEye.com Harley McGuire wants you to know the facts:

  • Six out of ten dogs face being euthanized because there are not enough homes for them. One dog, her puppies and their offspring can produce over 66,000 dogs in six years. One cat, her kittens and their offspring can produce half a million cats in a little more than seven years.
  • The number one cause of death in companion animals is euthanasia, a direct consequence of irresponsible pet ownership. Red Rose is committed to making a difference in the lives of animals across the Verde Valley because it is not possible to adopt our way out of the overpopulation problem.

The General Spay and Neuter Fund for Felines and Canines was created to assist Sedona and Verde Valley pet owners with partial or full funding at low cost clinics for spay and neuter of felines and canines. Low cost clinics are necessary in the community as they provide a service affordable to pet owners on a fixed income. However, there are times that even the low cost services (average to $95) are not within pet owners’ budgets so volunteers and donors of Red Rose co-founded the Pitty Party Fund, a free spay and neuter fund for pit bulls or pit bull mixes in Sedona and the Verde Valley.

Harley McGuire says thank you Rosey for inspiring Tina of Red Rose

Red Rose, working in collaboration with the Morning Starr Affordable Spay Neuter Clinic, has received a very generous grant from the Sedona Community Foundation along with individual donations and proceeds from special events. Red Rose has spayed and neutered over 130 Pit-bull and Pit Mixes within 18 months:

  • The Pitty Party Fund is breed-specific because pit bulls are the most common breed filling shelters and rescues across the U.S. today. The number of pit bulls euthanized yearly is staggering and Red Rose wants to help stop this needless slaughter.

Tina explained, “Animals left to reproduce oftentimes become abandoned, abused, malnourished, neglected and or injured. It’s a horrible existence for them. It doesn’t have to be this way. We can all make a difference by helping to promote and educate pet owners as to why spay and neuter is so important.”

The newly founded Emergency Medical Fund For Felines and Canines is a collaboration between Red Rose and Angie’s House, a Cottonwood (Arizona) organization, that provides affordable transitional housing for people with pets who have fallen upon hard times. Many of Angie’s House candidates would rather live in vehicles than give up their pets but often those pets require medical attention. Out of respect and dedication to these pet owners and their companion animals, a program was created to provide the pets with the medical attention required.

Red Rose has donation banks at locations in Sedona to help raise money for this particular fund. The SedonaEye.com Harley McGuire Fund will donate a portion of every new subscription to Red Rose Program In Honor of a Beloved Pet Fund!

    Hey Harley, will your contract allow for us to see a picture of you revving your motorcycle in your helmet? Huh Harley, Huh?

  8. Well, Buster, sorry to say my contract says nope to me, my “hog” (cycle to those who don’t know) with or without a helmet. My publisher don’t wanna do free ads for the hog or helmet company, and my agent can’t afford lie-ability insurance.

    Lovingly,
    Harley McGuire
