The Burton Fletcher Foundation for Animals officially kicked-off their second annual Animal Welfare Heroes Contest on the first of January, 2023. Animal advocates in South Georgia and North Florida were invited to tell about the incredible efforts made by people and organizations to preserve the lives of animals in peril. The response was exceptional. Epic tales were shared of the area’s incredible men and women who dedicate their lives to save animals from abuse, neglect, and homelessness. Through the tales of the unshakable heroes who defend the rights of the voiceless, readers were amazed.
