Get-A- Life Pet Rescue volunteers, including our Board Members, play an active role in finding the animals a safe and happy home. All our pets are given a full veterinary exam. They are vaccinated, spayed/neutered, micro chipped, put on heartworm/flea & tick prevention medication as well as dental & grooming services as needed. Donations are very critical as they assist us in giving each pet full medical treatment, physical and behavioral rehabilitation and the necessities that allow them to thrive in their "forever home". Because Get-A-Life Pet Rescue doesn’t have a facility to house the pets as they are rescued, each pet is matched with an appropriate foster home in the Tri-County area. With individual fostering, we are able to provide interested applicants with details on the pet's personality and provide a needs list to allow the pet a tranquil transition.
Our volunteers promote responsible adoptions and lifelong relationships with the adopter’s new pet. We educate all adopters and provide them with all tools necessary to have a balanced and happy lifelong pet. Our ultimate goal at Get-A-Life Pet Rescue is to increase humane awareness through education, resulting in the humane treatment of animals, and reduction of the over population and abuse problems of today.

The story of Lil’ Lucy the “Frenchie†(French Bulldog) begins in a South Florida puppymill, where they practiced the “anything goes†type of breeding (interbreeding relatives, and any other random combination of dogs, just to make a profit). This creates congenital problems; the most common being Luxating Patella, skin problems, heart and renal problems, as well as various diseases. All Puppymills and breeding facilities are different, but usually hold the same philosophy: Feed and vet the dogs as little as possible to cut expenses, and give them just enough to continue breeding. Often, several dogs are crammed into a small area or crate, and forced to fight for what little bits of food and water are given. It is common for the dogs to survive off of their own waste, which results in rotting gums, decaying teeth, and numerous infections. These dogs are usually euthanized when they can’t produce puppies, or die of inhumane causes.
