Mary founded Lending Paws A Hand (LPAH) in 2013 with a mission to help pets in need while supporting Lee County and the surrounding communities through education and awareness in responsible pet ownership. From the very beginning, her husband Ed has been her “right-hand man.” Together they spend countless hours transporting animals to veterinary appointments, delivering fosters to potential adopters, and collaborating with rescue partners to find loving homes for dogs and cats from the Lee County shelter. Their dedication goes beyond rescue, they respond to community calls for help, advocate for animal welfare, and work tirelessly to improve the lives of pets and the people who love them. To learn more about how LPAH got started, check out Our Story.
