Staff of Narconon Freedom Center Reach Out to Local Animal Rescue

Not only does the staff of Narconon Freedom Center, a non-profit drug rehab program, reach out to help those with addictions, but also help with a local animal rescue. Recently Narconon Freedom Center staff has joined forces with a local no kill shelter near Battle Creek, Michigan.

The shelter not only helps animals who have been abused, neglected or just “tossed to the side” but they also have programs designed for at- risk youth. In fact, they many program to help youth and animals and reach out to many in the community to help not only teens making a place for themselves in the world but also animals.

“I started off fostering for the local shelter and have now fostered three dogs,” explains Megan Werner Brennan, Public Contact Supervisor at Narconon Freedom Center. “The dog I am currently fostering, Abigail is a mastiff. When Abigail was available for fostering, I jumped on it quickly! I had always wanted a mastiff, but living in a town house at the time didn’t know. I did my research online and found out that they are actually very low key dogs” she laughs.

“After my first week of fostering her, I fell in love! Asked about the adoption process, moved to a house with a fenced in yard and couldn’t have asked for a better addition to my family,” adds Brennan.

Soon other Narconon Freedom Center staff of the center fell in love with “Abby” also and wanted to help out.  The Director of Security for the Narconon Freedom Center looked at the website and found the newest addition to his family, Zoe, a rescued German Shepherd. 

“Not only am I proud to have such a wonderful dog, but happy we were able to show others that rescued dogs also need good homes and love too!”adds Brennan. “And we can work to help in different areas in the community by helping not only those struggling with addiction, but animals as well.”
