M'Shoogy's Famous Emergency Animal Rescue

M'Shoogy's operates under a strict no-kill policy, providing a home for several hundred dogs, cats, and other animals of various ages and sizes. The cost of care is approximately $50.00 per month per animal, not including medical expenses, with a total daily operational cost of around $500.00. Over the past 19 years, M'Shoogy's has saved more than 15,000 animals from imminent death. Founded by Gary and Lisa Silverglat, M'Shoogy's has benefited from their unwavering commitment to animal welfare. In nearly two decades, they have only taken four days away from the sanctuary and have never drawn a salary, dedicating all their efforts and resources to the animals without seeking financial compensation. In addition to the Silverglats, numerous volunteers and staff members contribute to the care and affection provided to the animals. The sanctuary also features several acres designated for wildlife rehabilitation. Here, animals receive medical treatment and nourishment until they are ready to be safely returned to their natural habitats. During the spring and summer months, the sanctuary sees a significant influx of raccoons and opossums, along with foxes, owls, deer, squirrels, and ducks that temporarily find refuge at M'Shoogy's. Additionally, M'Shoogy's offers educational tours and presentations to groups, emphasizing the importance of treating animals with dignity and respect. The organization has also played a crucial role in advocating for permit laws and legislation aimed at combating animal abuse.
