Rainbows Edge, set upon 100 lovely acres in Tillman, SC, just outside the Hilton Head, SC, area and not too far from Savannah, GA, is the long-time dream of Ray and Janis Suarez.
Ray and Janis, like so many animal rescue workers nationwide, didn't start out dreaming of providing a refuge to over 50 homeless dogs. In fact, they purchased their 100-acre oasis to get away from it all. Little did they know that a countless stream of homeless dogs would find their way into their lives, their hearts, and even onto their property.
It didn't take long when they saw the dire consequences of the pet overpopulation epidemic to realize that their special property would not only become their personal getaway. Their property would also provide a beautiful, serene, pristine refuge for endless dogs that had nowhere else to go.
When they easily could have retired given all their hard labor through the years, what could have been retirement became something else altogether. Putting their hearts and heads and finances together, Ray and Janis realized their new-found dream - to provide a safe haven for dogs that had nowhere else to go.
Often welcoming to their refuge the dogs that needed the most care, were the least adoptable, or were not adoptable at all, Ray and Janis began to pour their hearts and souls into providing a well-run, super efficient, and super sanitary locale for dogs many of whom for the first time discovered there is love and care in this world after all.
Rainbows Edge, a 501c3 non-profit organization, welcomes monetary donations as well as volunteers to help the organization provide the best possible care to the dogs in their care.
