PRINCE LORENZO BORGHESE LAUNCHES ANIMAL

AID USAS NEW YEAR CARAVAN

Former reality personality and President of Animal Aid USA Prince Lorenzo Borghese

helped to create a better reality for dogs in danger as he launched the organizations

first animal rescue caravan of 2013.

On January 18th the New Year Caravan began a journey

to put 175 shelter dogs on the road to a brighter

tomorrow. The vehicles journey is part of a trek repeated

every 30 days by Animal Aid USA volunteers who travel

1,600 miles from New Jersey to Liberty County, Georgia

to rescue shelter animals from rural Georgia

communities. The dogs have been pulled from animal

control facilities across Georgia to be rescued, and most

have been brought to Animal Aid USAs Miracle Ranch (a

temporary transfer station and quarantine facility in Long

County) for care and treatment before forever homes can

be found for each of them.

Each moment an animal is about to be euthanized due

to its inability to find a loving home is an emergency situation to our group ofvolunteers. Im so happy to be a part of our first caravan in the new year in which 175

lives will be saved, said the season nine star of The Bachelor, who also donates five

percent of the profits from hisRoyal Pet Clubline of pet products and $2 for every

new Royal Pet Club customer to help Animal Aid USAs efforts.

When volunteers on the caravan arrive at Miracle

Ranch, they will be met by a dog who is a living

testament to the care that canines receive thanks to

Animal Aid USA. Currently fostered by an Animal Aid

USA volunteer, Asher an injured dog suffering from a

gangrenous wound to his neck was rescued from thestreets of Warne County, Georgia by the Okefenokee

Humane Society and is now on the mend due to the

diligence of the staff at Cedar Animal Hospital in

Richmond Hills.

Steve Dash of the Humane Society of Atlantic County

in Atlantic City, New Jersey, an Advisory Board

member for Animal Aid USA, will travel with the New

Year Caravan to join the many volunteers who came

together to save Asher when they meet the lucky miracle pup at Miracle Ranch. The

Humane Society of Atlantic County will be taking Asher into its program once he is

medically cleared for travel, which is expected to take a few months.
