THRIVE ANIMAL RESCUE WAS EMBRACED BY GEORGIA SPOGLI, (fourth from left) WIFE OF THE FORMER U.S. AMBASSADOR TO ITALY. SHE TOOK ONE TOO MANY TRIPS TO SHELTERS, AND DECIDED SHE HAD TO DO SOMETHING. THRIVE, for her, was born the day she took home a dog and fostered it until she could find it a home. Then there were more dogs, more foster homes and on and on.

What sets THRIVE apart is that it pays all medical bills and insurance for the animals to the foster families for the life of the dog. It's irresistible and so are the doggies.
