BIO:
Michele and Jeff Allen are life long animal advocates. They have a small farm in Burlington County, New Jersey that has been home to many foster and rescue animals through the years.
Identifying a real need for help for homeless dogs in shelters needing hospice placement, the Allens got to work trying to find a better, more efficient way to help. After the loss of their beloved dog Monkey, they went into high gear with the plans. Their 2 car garage and 2 other rooms are now being used to help with this endeavor.
Still in the early stages, many dogs have been helped to date. "We are thrilled at the way things are moving forward. We have met some incredible people along this journey and are so very appreciative of their help. Each and everyone of the dogs is extremely precious and has added something to Monkey's House. Monkey would be thrilled, we know he is at the Rainbow Bridge greeting his friends as they join him."
