Battered and bruised, old and scarred, they have fought many battles and given birth amid the trash. Their offspring are trash to some, treasures to us. A Loving Touch transforms them, once again, into trusting and valued companions. With only love to give, they heal their physical and emotional wounds. For these, Loving Touch was created.
From the streets of the South Bronx to Broadway...
See how this senior junkyard dog won our hearts
and became our Beloved Mascot.

Mission Statement
Loving Touch is an all volunteer, non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization. Our mission is to help homeless animals find a better way of life and to help find new homes for pets that owner's can no longer keep. To prevent the birth of unwanted homeless animals by spaying/neutering every animal that we rescue. To provide medical care for each of our rescued animals. To educate the public in all aspects of pet care and responsibility. To provide a loving and safe environment for each of our rescued animals until a suitable home is found.
AN EXCITING UPDATE ON SAMMY:
Sammy was accepted to a Boarding/Training Facility in PA @leadyourK9. He has been there for several weeks now and has been making progress. This is a HUGE step in the right direction. We can’t thank @koreank9rescue enough for spending time with Sammy and suggesting this wonderful program to us in hopes of rehabilitating him so he can live a long and happy life in the right home. We also want to thank Mike @doggy_be_good for helping Paul transport Sammy to PA. It was hard to say goodbye, but we knew that this was going to be Sammy’s only chance to be saved.

Felicia Onofrietti
Background: I am a Massage Therapist and Reiki Master currently licensed by the State of New York for over 30 years - practicing out of my downtown NY apartment. I am also caretaker to two bossy but sweet companions; a 2-year-old Havanese named Gus, who loves people, and Emily, a feisty miniature parrotlet.
A little about Reiki: Reiki is non-invasive, hands-on natural healing using the universal life force. The term comes from the Japanese words "rei" meaning universal and "ki" meaning vital life force energy that flows through all living things. Reiki, an abundant, gentle spiritual energy is not tied to any specific religion or nationality.

Whiskers Holistic Petcare
Founded in 1988, our mission is to bring the benefits of holistic wellness concepts to the universe of companion animals through the education of pet care-givers, and to foster the research, identification and introduction of products and methods to further that aim.
At Whiskers, we operate on four basic principles:
The health and well being of your companion animal, and of all animals in general is our primary concern.
How that companion animal lived and ate in the wild is our model.
Nature is the only perfect system… and the best healer.
Your convenience and cost are major concerns because if it costs too much or is not convenient, you won’t do it.
Whether you are well-versed in the principles of holistic health care or new to the concept, one thing is sure, what we offer in the way of knowledge, products and methods works. We have thousands of success stories to back that up. In today’s world of hype, hysteria and general rip-off atmosphere, we invite you to test our beliefs and methods for your pet’s sake. The worst that can happen is that nothing happens. The best is that you will actively participate in maximizing the health and well being of those who love you without reservation, without the use of toxic, debilitating substances or invasive procedures.
