Affinity for Rescues
In May of 2011 co-Founders Melissa Cagle and James Firios visited a mobile pet adoption. It was their second visit that month but both had decided that they were only browsing and would not be leaving with a pet, especially since they weren't in agreement as to whether they were getting a cat or a dog. After visiting with several dogs that failed to interest Jim, Melissa begrudgingly headed towards the cat area. That's when Jim spotted a scrawny golden mix called "Fluffy"—it was love at first sight. Within 30 minutes Jim proclaimed that he had found his dog, the papers were signed and Fluffy became Sasha.  

"Adopting Sasha changed everything. She is the reason FamilyPetRecords.com exists. Before her we had no idea that a pet's records were that important. Within the first month we lost/misplaced her adoption papers and vaccination record four times.  I'd get frantic calls from Jim asking where the papers were because he couldn't take her to the trainer without them and two days later I'd be making the same call to him because I couldn't drop her off at daycare without proof of vaccination," remembers Melissa.

"My friends make fun of me, they say that I adopted one dog and suddenly I'm an animal activist, but I guess that's what happened," Jim shrugs. " Sasha wormed her way into my heart and now I can't bear the thought of an animal not having a loving home like she does—so I'm going to do everything I can to help shelters and rescue groups have the resources they need to get pets into great homes."
