Welcome to Bogey’s Buddies Rescue, where passion intertwines with dedicated rescue efforts!
Founded by Jo’El, whose journey into Rescue started with the fostering of and subsequent adoption of her Soul Dog, Luna, illuminated the challenges of rescue work, our organization was born from a fortuitous encounter at Drowned Valley Brewing. Jo’El , who is known for often bringing foster puppies to various dog-friendly local spots, met Samantha, who was grieving the loss of her beloved Bogey. This conversation ignited a friendship rooted in their mutual love for four-legged companions.
Named in honor of Sam’s cherished Bogey
our rescue—officially known as Bartow Rescue and Resource—embodies a spirited commitment to saving lives. Our Rescue, which is led by a board of five remarkable women, infuses every rescue mission with sass, humor, and heartfelt dedication. We celebrate both the significant milestones and the smaller victories, approaching challenges with resilience and care. Join us in our mission to make tails wag and hearts soar; at Bogey’s Buddies, every day is an adventure filled with wagging tails and heartfelt connections!
At Bogey’s Buddies, our mission goes beyond just rescuing pets; we are dedicated to keeping families united.
This is why we engage in community outreach to support pet owners and prevent unnecessary separations. We provide resources and guidance while organizing educational events to strengthen the bond between humans and their cherished pets.
To fulfill our mission, we depend on the support of volunteers who share our love for animals and our desire to make a positive impact. Whether it’s helping out at events, assisting with administrative duties, or caring for pets, volunteers are essential in helping us broaden our reach and influence. Join us in our endeavor to build happier, healthier communities where every pet and their owner can thrive together.
