Her journey to those humble beginnings officially began in 1996, when she moved to Brewster County and just started taking in stray animals that needed a home. To date, she says she’s taken in over 1500 animals in total. “When I started this, I was just taking in animals from Marathon, but that grew to taking in animals from all over Brewster County and even some from Fort Davis,” Hensley said.

I was told to treat it again recently.
