For more than three decades, a local nonprofit organization has dedicated its time and resources to rescuing dogs in Marion County. Gail’s Pets Second Chance has long been taking in strays and pets that have been surrendered by their owners.
Gail Ross and Dena Sparks of Gail’s Pets were recent guests of the Talk of the Town on KTLO-FM. Ross says she actually started her mission further north, but her organization’s 501(c)(3) status didn’t come until she relocated to the Twin Lakes Area.

Gail’s Pets has had a number of volunteers and donors assisting with finding homes for countless pups. Ross says more volunteers are always needed, and they also need various supplies.

Gail’s Pets often collaborates with other rescue organizations and volunteers assisting in the preparation of transport of dogs to their forever homes. Some have gone on to become working dogs, including helping veterans and nursing home residents.
Fundraisers are often being held for Gail’s Pets. Sparks says January’s fundraiser will be held at Twin Lakes Playhouse in Mountain Home.
