A Local Hero To Animals

Bob Reina is the man who recently helped save Bindi, the stray dog who lost a leg to a gator and wandered alone for days. Reina adopted Bindi after meeting her and being won over by her appreciation. But, according to Tampa Tribune and The St.Pete Times, Bindi's new owner didn't stop there. He asked what he could give that would make a difference at Hillsborough Animal Services. The answer was beds, and Reina delivered 325 Kuranda beds to the shelter at the cost of $18,000, so that dogs no longer have to lay on hard concrete floors.

Now, Mr. Reina is on a campaign to eliminate the need for euthanasia at HCAS. He plans to use the video marketing company that he works for, Talk Fusion, to increase donations and sign up volunteers. A website will be created, where users can easily sign up to make donations or volunteer. Care Crew, a non profit organization, will be helping HCAS with marketing. Reina would also like to create a group of veterinarians who would go into communities offering low cost spay/neuter services. Imagine what could be done if more people were this enthusiastic and commited to a cause like ending the need for euthanasia.
