HOMETOWN HERO
Nominated and written by Allyson Bootes
|
|
For years, Beth Turek has dedicated her life to helping homeless pets find their way home. Through fostering kittens and being a strong and enthusiastic advocate for H.A.L.O. No-Kill Rescue, Beth is the epitome of a Hometown Hero.
When H.A.L.O.’s Vero Beach Adoption Center was forced to close due to COVID-19, Beth threw all of her efforts into helping H.A.L.O. transition. She assisted staff in helping kittens find homes and of course, brought her own litter home to foster.
Always stalwart in her effort to find homes for the precious babies she fosters, Beth brings them to the Main Shelter in Sebastian to meet potential adopters unconcerned about her own health and safety. She also puts together “Welcome Home” kits for adopters including all the essentials a new pet parent needs so they do not have to go to the store.
When H.A.L.O. launched the “Art from the Heart” campaign, Beth once again stepped up to the plate to help and offered to paint pet portraits to raise much needed funds.
As a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty, Beth effortlessly balances her professional life and foster life and always goes the extra mile for the rescues. Always caring for others, Beth's kind and knowledgeable approach to everything she does is clearly evident. Whether Beth is connecting clients to homes or families to their new kittens, all you have to do is look at the smiles on the faces of those lives that Beth has touched and there won't be any doubt in your mind why she is a Hometown Hero.
