Zach loves animals and spends much of his free time playing and caring for the pets when he goes to his aunts, uncles, and cousin’s house in New Jersey. Since Zach travels so much for sports, he has never been able to have a dog of his own. Because of this, Zach decided he would start Peticure to help pets in need as many ways as possible.
Our organization is dedicated to improving the lives of animals in need through rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming efforts. We strive to provide compassionate care and support for pets of all breeds, sizes, and ages, and to educate the community about responsible pet ownership. We believe that every pet deserves a chance at a happy and healthy life, and we work tirelessly to make that a reality for as many animals as possible.
Being involved in a puppy-raiser is one of the most rewarding things you’ll ever do. Many feel it is so rewarding they do it over and over again.
Volunteers are key players at all pet charities. There are many jobs that need volunteers to assist with such as office help, puppy watching, puppy hugging, dog walking, etc.
Check back often for more pup-coming events!. Please click calendar above for details.
We will be setting up a Go Fund Me to support Peticure and other charities.
Cody a white dog that looked like a wolf, Cody was rescued in August of 2014 from Southern Jewel Dog Rescue. He was transported up to New Jersey on an 18-wheeler and when he was picked up by his aunt at a parking lot off of a highway, he was covered in urine and it was obvious he was kept in his crate for the 48-hour transport. As soon as he got off the truck, Cody greeted everyone with kisses. Cody knew he found his forever family. Sadly, in the summer of 2020, at approximately only 7 years old, Cody passed from cancer. Cody still lives on in our hearts and thoughts every day and we are so lucky to have shared 6 years with Cody.
. When Cody was lost to cancer, Timber was heartbroken from losing his best friend and daily playmate and he lost his zest for life. One day, he found was in the backyard just staring at the back of our home. It was obvious that another dog was need to break Timber’s depression. In July of 2020, Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter had just received 12 dogs and none were listed on the website yet. Zach aunt, uncle and cousin stayed with Jax until the shelter closed to ensure no one else could adopt him. Jax was cleared by the veterinarian the next day and joined the family. Jax was a street dog in the south, a shelter found him and he stayed in the shelter for 3 weeks. When no one came to claim him, he was transported to NJ. He loves everyone he meets, dogs and people of all ages and sizes.
Lola was rescued from South Carolina. Stories has it she was chained up outside and Home for Good Dog Rescue transported her to New Jersey. Lola was fostered for a week and adopted. She was adopted by Zach’s aunt in November of 2022. Lola craves love and attention. Lola spends her days play with the other 3 rescued dogs and is pretty relentless! She loves to watch the squirrels outside and runs from the doors to the windows to follow them. She is very smart and is now taking agility classes. Of course, Lola had no training when adopted, but Lola is working very hard on her leash skills, house training and basic commands. Lola loves to play with her toys, where she takes them all out of the basket at once. Hopefully Lola can learn how to clean up!
He just knew he found his forever family. After several baths and a luxurious hot oil treatment at our local groomer, we picked him up. He had only met us briefly and just by the sound of our voice, he could not see us over the 6 foot wall, he knew we were there for him and he gracefully leaped over and was forever bonded with us. When we brought him home it was clear he had never been inside a house. He ran from room to room, in and out of showers, etc. He was excited to bond with our very first dog, Rocco. As time went on, we knew there was something extraordinary with him. Wherever we brought him, he bonded with all and he was a magnet to all people. He was soothing. I saw an article in our local newspaper about pet therapy and knew this was the job for Cody. Without any training, I took him to get tested to be a certified therapy dog. He earned a 97% (and he only needed a 75% to pass!), and that is how the story began. Cody, my daughter and I spent countless hours at nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, schools for children with disabilities, centers for adults with traumatic brain injuries, local schools and libraries and the list goes on. Everyone loved Cody and the therapy he provided was magical. Sadly, in the summer of 2020, at approximately only 7 years old, he passed from cancer. He still lives on in our hearts and thoughts every day and we are so lucky to have shared 6 years with him.

When I told someone about it, they said I should call the seamstress and tell her to go to Dr. I thought she would think I was crazy. I called her a few days later and she told me she was in the hospital and needed a stent put in her heart. Crazy!
