Transcript of The Bakersfield Voice 9/18/11
ome people spend their lives wonderingwhen “someone” is going to do some-thing to help the homeless pets of KernCounty. Then there are people like Tere-sa Walker, who established No Paws Left
Behind Rescue and Transport, a nonprofitorganization that pulls pets out of local sheltersand transports them to northern California towaiting rescues.
Asked why she has chosen this action to helpsave pets, Walker said, “I volunteered at theSPCA and worked with two local rescues work-ing to save Kern County shelter dogs. I wasn’thappy with the number of animals I was able tofoster, spay/neuter, provide medical care andfind loving homes for. The need is so great, and Ifelt I was not making a difference. I decidedtransporting Kern animals to established res-cues would allow me to save a larger number ofthem.”
Thus, No Paws Left Behind was formed. Theorganization transports pets from Kern CountyAnimal Control as well as shelters in Shafter,Wasco and Delano to established rescues innorthern California such as Big Dog Rescue,Wing and a Prayer Rescue, Second ChanceCocker Rescue, Noah’s B’Ark Rescue and theMilo Foundation, just to name a few. No Pawsalso provides regular transportation for Woods
humane Society inSan Luis Obispo. Todate, over 200 catsand dogs have beenpulled from localshelters and drivenup north where theymay live in a safe andloving environmentwhile awaiting theirforever home. All res-cued pets are spayedor neutered beforebeing adopted andreceive medical careif necessary.
Every rescue trans-port is coordinatedbetween the sheltersholding the pets, therescues accepting the
pets and the people with No Paws who aredoing the driving. Before each transport, thevan used by No Paws has to be cleaned and san-itized, as well as all of the kennels used to holdthe animals during the drive. This in itself is anall day process. On transport day, the entire tripfrom Kern County to the Bay Area and back,typically with several stops along the way, takes
approximately 15 hours.Each trip carries around 35-40 animals,
though No Paws has transported as many as 54in one outing. No Paws utilizes a 12-passengercargo van that has had the seats removed tomake room for the kennels needed to secure theanimals for their journey.
When asked about the hardest aspect of coor-dinating the rescue transports, Walkeranswered, “Making sure everyone is where theyneed to be, when they need to be there, sothings run smoothly.”
All of the work No Paws does to secure newhomes for shelter pets is done at no charge tothe shelters or rescue groups. The organizationrelies on donations to its 501(c)3 organizationto cover the cost of gas, which typically runs$190 for each round trip.

he Eighth annual "Walk to Defeat ALS" willbe held Saturday, October 1, at the Park atRiver Walk in Bakersfield. The Walk willhelp raise money for local patient servicesand increase awareness of ALS, or Lou
Gehrig’s disease, in Kern County. If you or someoneyou know has been diagnosed with ALS, then thiswalk will allow you to get more information and meetothers with this progressive disease.
Over the past seven years, the Bakersfield commu-nity has contributed over $630,000 making the Bak-ersfield Walk one of the most successful events forthe Golden West Chapter of the ALS Association.This success is the result of countless people in ourcommunity working hard to improve the lives ofthose afflicted with ALS. The biggest thrill is seeingall those people, friends and strangers alike, parad-ing around the park in support of our cause. Onceagain, we call upon the can-do spirit of our communi-ty to help those in need.
The ALS Association has been there to help KernCounty ALS patients and their families through theirmost difficult times — from finding doctors to obtain-ing medical equipment, or providing a sympathetic
ear. The Walk has helped the ALS Association provide
the following services for Kern County:Locate and provide services for nearly 50 percent ofALS patients in Kern County;
Hire a Kern County case manager;
Monthly support group meetings;
Open a center for ALS Care at Cedars-Sinai MedicalCenter;
Sponsor an annual "Ask the Experts" seminars; and,
Created local equipment loan pool.Walk registration begins at 8 a.m. and is followed
by a 3-mile walk around the park. Sponsorshipopportunities are available, and we are formingteams of walkers now.
If this disease has affected your family or youknow of someone who has ALS, please considerwalking in their honor or memory.
