CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) â Tamara Lackey always has had a soft spot for the vulnerable and voiceless in the world, and sheâs made it her mission to do what she can to help those in need.
That has meant raising money to renovate bathrooms in an Ethiopian orphanage, taking pictures to document the stories of homeless boys, or rescuing sick animals from shelters.
Now, sheâs taking those efforts one step further with an ambitious plan to address North Carolinaâs high animal euthanization rate.
Tamara and her husband, Steve Lackey, are building Beautiful Together Animal Rescue and Sanctuary on 83 acres in Chapel Hill to house animals â those that would otherwise die in shelters â until they can find foster or permanent homes.
