Lonnie

Lonnie’s mother, Jacqueline, was rescued in 2015 from the notorious “backyard butcher” in Newburgh, NY. More than 100 animals were rescued that day; all had lice, a parasite count so high that many were severely anemic, fungal infections, respiratory issues, and a contagious virus known as ORF. Shortly after Jacqueline’s arrival, we discovered she was pregnant. In January 2016, Jacqueline gave birth to sisters Lonnie and Loretta. Because Lonnie was born here, she’s only ever known kindness.
