Our Organization and Mission Statement

Beare Garden Plantation Animal Rescue’s mission is to ease the pain, hunger, abuse, as well as to provide shelter and help to find forever homes for the creatures God entrusted to us. By acting as a resource and educating the community about issues pertaining to animals, we feel that we can move toward the prevention of over breeding of animals. By facilitating adoptions of homeless and neglected cats and dogs, we will be able to provide a short-term home for more unwanted or homeless cats and dogs. Beare Garden Plantation Animal Rescue is a Charitable Fund of The Community Foundation of NC East, a 501 (c) 3 Organization www.cfnceast.org.

Words can not express how much of a blessing BGP, David Edwards, and BGP supporters have been to my family. We had a tomcat show up at our home that was very friendly but had a severe leg wound along with various other injuries from cat fights. Over 50 wounds the vet counted. What started as a desire to help a stray cat turned into a quest to help my husband. My husband and Fathead shared a special bond and understanding…they both have had their own struggles to overcome as my husband is a Veteran that has fought through depression. Animals have a unique way of healing. Fathead brought so much love and joy to my husband. Fathead’s leg wound was not healing and needed more medical care than we could provide. I started networking to find resources and David Edwards with BGP saw a post asking for help. Mr. Edwards contacted me and took the lead in helping to fundraise for needed medical care for Fathead. From the outpour of support that we received from Mr. Edwards, BGP, and other BGP supporters, it is obvious that they have a true heart to help others and animals. Very quickly arrangements were made for Fathead to see a veterinarian as well as ongoing treatments were covered. Without this support, Fathead would not have received treatment. Their support extended beyond helping a stray cat, it helped to give my husband a loving companion. Beare Garden Plantation Animal Rescue is a wonderful organization dedicated to helping animals. Please help support BGP through financial contributions, volunteering, fostering, spreading the word, and through prayer so BGP can continue to help others in need. Fathead has made a special place in our hearts and we thank everyone with BGP for making this possible!
