In January 2014, two mothers joined forces with like minds and similar stories. Elissa Aten and Jackie Blake each have a bright, well-adjusted daughter who happens to also be dyslexic. For both, the journey to a dyslexia diagnosis took years. Both spent countless hours researching reading disorders and learning about dyslexia. Both searched for testing and tutoring resources. Both learned the importance of advocating within the school setting to ensure that their daughters received support needed to succeed.

Pawfect Life rescues homeless and unwanted dogs locally and from rural southern towns and high kill shelters. We fully vet, transport, and isolate all dogs. We review adoption applications and complete in-depth screening of each individual/family who applies. This includes email and/or phone correspondence followed by an in person meeting, a veterinary reference check, and personal reference checks. A home visit may also be conducted if deemed necessary. We work to match the best individual/family with each dog to ensure it’s a good fit for both the individual/family and their new furry friend. When adopting, individuals/families make an adoption donation and sign an adoption contract. All adoption donations go back into the rescue to pay for the care of our dogs.
