It’s all in a night’s work for Suzanne Burry and Dennis Burns, the founders of Valley Isle Animal Rescue.
The couple started the nonprofit not long after they moved to Maui in 2008. At the time, the Maui Humane Society had suspended its after-hours emergency service due to funding cuts. Burry and Burns had previously run an animal rescue and sanctuary in San Diego, so they stepped up to fill the void.

Tommy Habeeb created and, for the first two seasons, hosted the ultimate guilty pleasure TV show: âCheaters,â in which a cheating spouse or partner was trailed, pretty much caught in the act and then confronted on camera.
These days, Habeeb is producing and headlining a very different syndicated series. âTo the Rescueâ profiles rescue dogs and the people who rescue them â and he recently brought his crew to Utah for an upcoming episode.
