Woofstock 24 was extra special for us this year. The organizers of the event chose to honor the life and legacy of one of our founding members, Rita G Warner Tucker, whom we suddenly and unexpectedly lost 10/10/2024.

Rita was a lifelong pet advocate with significant contributions to NELA pets in need. She helped organize the successful effort to outlaw roadside pet sales. She led the first OPAS Advisory Committee. She most recently helped launch new local rescue, Help Meowt Feline Rescue. She saved countless animals by fostering them until they could be rescued. She was an expert bottle feeder to orphaned newborn kittens, and she never turned away a kitten in need.

Yet to us, she was a loyal and dedicated board member in support of our cause to raise funds to build a new shelter. She came up with the name for our group, which has been become one of the most successful nonprofit groups in our community’s history. More importantly, she was our friend and will be sadly missed.

It was touching to see the newly-branded “Rita Tucker Animal Advocacy Award” presented to this year’s winner, Roxanne Smith. We were so honored that members of Rita’s family were on hand to witness the unveiling and presentation of this prestigious award.

We love and miss you Rita. We promise to make you proud.🐾❤️🐾
