Nearly blind at birth and legally blind today, I have dedicated my life to animal rescue and animal needs and made the decision to establish Irving House when it became apparent that animals abandoned to the streets because they had special needs surely faced unimaginable horrors.

 Naturally, no undertaking of such vision happens at the hands of just one person. Without the caring dedication of our veterinarian, nursing staff, lawyers, accountants, volunteers, and most especially our supporters, Irving House would have no hope of helping the animals who have no other hope.

For that, I sincerely thank you all!
