Verde Valley AZ (January 7, 2014) – Red Rose Inspiration for Animals, a non profit 501c3 organization in Sedona, is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of animals. Seven years ago, Tina Allegrezza, Founder and President of Red Rose, rescued a dog whose ear tips snapped off from frostbite due to exposure without protection. Red Rose has been collecting blankets and towels for animals that need extra warmth in very cold temperatures. We urge pet owners to take the proper precautions to safely care for their pet during the winter months.
