Close to Home: Baypath’s Impact on Local Animals – Part 32

From Abby’s shy start, to the playful bond of Bonito and Benita, and Jenny’s unexpected foster fail—each a surrendered pet, each finding their way to love—these familiar faces remind us how every rescue story begins with hope and grows with heart.

Each week, we invite you to follow along and explore the impact of our work through the heartwarming stories of the animals we’ve helped.

 

Baypath is committed to helping local animals and our community members as rising challenges like lifestyle changes, housing loss, and overall higher costs lead to more surrenders and strays.

In the past two years, surrendered cats have increased by 26% and dogs by 85%, many with neglected medical

needs.

Your support is crucial in providing the care they deserve, and together, we can continue making a difference—one story at a time.
