About

Welcome to Bogey’s Buddies Rescue, where passion meets paws-itively playful rescue work! Founded by Jo’El, after a stint in fostering, meeting and adopting Luna, opened her eyes to the challenges of rescue. Our journey began with a serendipitous meeting at Drowned Valley Brewing. Jo’El, known for bringing foster pups everywhere from town to dog-friendly spots, crossed paths with Samantha, mourning the loss of her beloved Bogey. Their conversation sparked a friendship fueled by a shared love for four-legged friends.

Named in honor of Sam’s cherished Bogey, our rescue—officially Bartow Rescue and Resource—embraces a spirited approach to saving lives. Our team of four fabulous ladies brings sass, sarcasm, and a whole lot of heart to every rescue mission. We celebrate the victories, big and small, and tackle the tough stuff with a sense of humor and unwavering dedication. Join us in our quest to make tails wag and hearts swell—because at Bogey’s Buddies, every day is an adventure in wagging tails and winning hearts!

At Bogey’s Buddies, we’re not just about rescuing pets; we’re committed to keeping families together. That’s why we actively engage in community outreach, working to support pet owners and prevent unnecessary separations. From providing resources and guidance to organizing educational events, we’re dedicated to fostering a strong bond between humans and their beloved pets.

To achieve our mission, we rely on the support of volunteers who share our passion for animals and our commitment to making a difference. Whether it’s lending a hand at events, assisting with administrative tasks, or helping with pet care, volunteers play a crucial role in helping us extend our reach and impact. Join us in our journey to create happier, healthier communities where every pet and their human can thrive together.
