Better Than Dead Rescue

The first program under CCRVI's human-animal relations division, Better Than Dead Rescue is a domestic pet (primarily dogs) rescue program run by Linda Rollins in Shelburne Falls, MA.

Linda created Better Than Dead Rescue about 12 years ago and became a part of the CCRVI family in 2009. A one-woman operation, Better Than Dead has saved and re-homed 155 dogs. Doing home-based, one-at-a-time rescue, Better Than Dead has rehabilitated dogs that have been severely abused, horribly neglected and some just plain unwanted, thrown-away dogs.

Linda joined the Humane Society of the United States in the weeks following Hurricane Katrina, going to New Orleans to assist in rescue operations. Post-Katrina, she joined the Humane Society Veterinary Medical Association-Rural Area Veterinary Services (www.hsvma.org) which brings veterinary care and instruction to impoverished areas of the world.
