It is difficult to believe, but someone dumped a black cocker spaniel mix at one of Anthem’s public parks. She was an old dog and sick – seriously sick. Her condition could be summed up with the following words: AFRAID. HUNGRY. IN PAIN. HELPLESS. HOPELESS. Unfortunately, these words also describe other dogs and cats in Anthem. Barbara Ward-Windgassen began Anthem Pets in 2005 to help pets like these. She invested everything that she possibly could and with the help and generosity of the community, Anthem Pets has become what it is today: A 501 (c)(3) volunteer rescue with many years of valued and trusted service in Anthem. Anthem Pets currently provides coverage within the areas of Anthem, Arroyo Grande, Arroyo Norte, Anthem Parkside, Anthem Country Club, and Tramonto south to Dove Valley. Over the years, Anthem Pets has rescued hundreds of abandoned or lost dogs and cats in the area outlined above. The number of rescued pets includes the elderly black cocker spaniel mix that was abandoned at a park. Anthem Pets began giving the cocker the veterinarian care that she desperately needed as soon as she was rescued, but her recovery was uncertain. We strive to do more than just alleviate the suffering of a few dogs and cats. Our primary goal is to implement a well-rounded animal welfare program that provides education and resources to the community, as well as promotes responsible pet ownership so that pets aren’t abandoned or neglected in the first place. We are happy to say that since 2005 Anthem Pets has grown as an organization and made headway toward this goal. Our passion for helping pets in Anthem is now deeper than ever.
