Justin G. Bartlett was a local man, known for his kind spirit, who graduated from Wellington High School in 2002. Sadly, he was involved in an automobile accident that took his life in December 2008 just after his 24th birthday. Friends and family describe Justin as, “the kid who stopped to change a tire for a total stranger on the side of the road.” Justin was also known for rescuing countless animals found roaming lost, or along dangerous highways. Knowing how much Justin cared for animals, his friends decided to start something special in his honor. Justin is pictured below.
In 2012, a group of animal loving rescuers formed the Justin Bartlett Animal Rescue, an all-volunteer and foster based group. Through the success of the rescue, it became very clear for the need of low cost veterinary care in the community. In May 2012, the Justin Bartlett Animal Hospital was founded. Together they have performed thousands of medical procedures and spay/neutering surgeries for animals in need in their local and mobile units. To date, they have saved over 7,000 helpless animals and intend to keep going with the motto “Until there are none, rescue one.”
I nominated the Justin Bartlett Animal Rescue for my charity because of all the love they give. I follow them on social media and see countless stories of rescues happening even in the middle of the night. Without question, the volunteers and medical staff go to work to help save the innocent lives of these animals. Growing up an animal lover and being the proud mom of a rescue kitty, I know the importance of having wonderful people such as them when an animal is in need. Anyone who will take time from their busy lives to save an innocent life is a true hero and I’m proud to live in a community with those people in it. Thank you all at Justin Bartlett Animal Rescue for your kind, loving souls!
