“Ten years ago, Mary Dietterle was sitting at her desk on a crowded New York trading floor in the midst of the financial crisis thinking she would rather be walking dogs for a living. Now, as the new Executive Director at Animal Rescue Coalition, she isn’t literally walking dogs for a living, but she is promoting ARC’s mission to reduce the number of unwanted dogs and cats finding their way into shelters by offering free and low-cost resources to pet owners and local rescues.”“Animal Rescue Coalition (ARC) is a High-Volume Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic located in Sarasota, Florida whose mission is to end the killing of adoptable dogs and cats by making spay/neuter accessible to everyone. ARC believes that by reducing the number of unwanted pets in the community, homeless animals will have a better chance to find a forever home. ARC has performed over fifty-three thousand spay/neuter surgeries since 2002.”
