What is the purpose of the MCE Animal Foundation?
The MCE Animal Foundation is a specialized Non-Profit that Rehabilitates (physically and emotionally), Rescues, and Re-Homes dogs in the US and other countries to new families in the US. We do this via our own resources and by working with various rescues in the US and other countries to find healthy dogs that are at risk of being killed and transport them to new familes.
In addition, we also act as a "halfway house" for Dogs in order to acclimatize them to being around humans (as opposed to humans that have hurt them) which, in addition to rehabilitation, insures once they are placed, they don't return to the "rescue/shelter" system. This allows rescues to focus their efforts and resources towards saving dogs from poor/hazardous conditions while we focus on their physical/mental state.

He's passionate about dogs (and cats though cats seem far less passionate about him) and strives to find ways to protect them. He prefers his salary in paper for coin form instead of the usual kibble.
Di-DiDirector of Security
Di-Di is our director security and usually the first greeter when a new arrival comes in, both him and Mei-Mei are the main introduction team. Di-Di hands out discipline with an iron paw which helps other dogs understand the rules. He's been a volunteer for a while, but has done so well, we have promoted to him. Fortunately for us, he works for kibble otherwise we could not afford his salary.
