April Saldivar & Frank Rizzo

I have always been raised with big dogs and always loved Saint Bernards fro as long as I can remember. I have been a huge advocate for rescuing animals since I was a child and once I became a homeowner I rescued my first Saint, Persephone. Between Persephone, Goliath (my other saint) and my 6 rescue cats, I was trying to figure out how I could help without taking in every animal I saw and I came across Sunny Saints who needed help. Fostering has been exceptionally rewarding for me as it helps me to add to my household but not permanently. I am allowed to help some dog that has not had the best life get on the road to a grand life. While it can be very difficult to let them go, seeing how you have changed the dog's life is amazing, and then you see how you have changed their new owner's life for the better and you know you have done the right thing.
