NORTH MIAMI – It started with a trip to a farm with her 4-year-old twins six months ago.
“They happened to have a litter of homeless puppies just at the front of the farm in a box, and they were all overheated, and they all looked like they were dying,” Jordyn Tate Adouth said.
A long-time lover of all animals, insects and reptiles, Adouth asked the farm to hold the puppies for a few days until she could find them homes.
“I then reached out to a couple rescues,” Adouth said. “Nobody answered me.”
Until Jamie’s Rescue picked up. Together, they found the puppies homes, and Adouth started volunteering.
“Soon she kind of kicked me out,” Adouth said. “She’s like, all right, Jordyn, you got to go do this by yourself. Go figure it out. You got this. I have my hands full. Stop bringing me.”
So that’s exactly what Adouth did. She started a nonprofit organization, and three months ago she got the official stamp of approval from the IRS to operate as a tax-exempt entity.
