Miranda’s Rescue was started in 1995 by Shannon Miranda, who was born and raised in Ferndale. With his passion for animals, Miranda created an organization that rescues all animals, big and small, to find them homes or to keep them at the sanctuary in Fortuna. Miranda’s Rescue does not turn any animal away and is a no-kill organization. They have pet adoption appointments available for cats, dogs and any animal listed on their site. Miranda’s Rescue CFO, Dean Paris, helped the organization grow throughout the years, incorporating Miranda’s Rescue thrift stores and outreach programs, including pet therapy! The rescue always appreciates donations to the animals. To learn more or donate, visit www.mirandasrescue.org.
