'Rescue Homeless Animals': Martinez Heroes

MARTINEZ, CA— When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented and changing times.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these heroes making a difference in their communities. Together with Ring, we’re working to let all your neighbors know about these outstanding people and their stories.

This one comes from Martinez resident Sally Morgan Welch, who nominates local volunteers who rescue homeless animals.

Relationship to nominee: "Work with them in network."

Reason for recognition: "These selfless people rescue and recover homeless and abandoned animals."

One thing to know: "People doing rescue spend their own time and money to help homeless and abandoned animals in their neighborhoods."

Thank you for all you do, rescuers!
