Remy's Reign: Nurturing Hope for Homeless Animals

Written By Mallory Hardgrove

Tirelessly working to provide a lifeline for unwanted and homeless animals throughout Virginia, Lauren Todd founded Remy’s Reign. Remy's Reign extends a helping hand to animals in need by offering a range of essential services. 

"We help unwanted and homeless animals throughout Virginia by providing a foster home, medical care, and any necessary training to get them ready to find their forever home,” explained Lauren. Beyond sheltering animals, Remy's Reign also contributes to the welfare of the community by providing trap-neuter-return (TNR) services for community cats and free microchips for pet owners, fostering a culture of responsible pet ownership.

At the core of Remy's Reign lies a profound philosophy: that every animal deserves a chance to find a loving home. Lauren Todd passionately emphasized this belief, stating, "Every animal deserves a chance in life to find their forever loving home." This guiding principle serves as the driving force behind the organization's tireless efforts to alleviate the suffering of homeless animals and provide them with a brighter future.

Reflecting on her journey, Lauren recounts her early experiences as a teenage volunteer at a local horse rescue, which ignited her passion for animal welfare. "I started Remy's Reign so we could assist more animals in need," she explained, highlighting the pivotal moment that inspired her to establish the organization and extend its reach to help more animals in distress.

Despite the challenges encountered along the way, Lauren finds inspiration in the profound impact of rescue work. 

"My biggest inspiration is seeing the look on an animal's face when they realize they have been saved," she shares. The joy of witnessing animals find their forever homes serves as a poignant reminder of the significance of their mission.

In its commitment to serving the community, Remy's Reign organizes fundraising events to garner support for its cause, such as the recent paint night at Wine and Design in Fredericksburg, VA.

With unwavering dedication and compassion, Remy's Reign continues to make a tangible difference in the lives of animals and communities alike. As Lauren aptly summed up, "We can't save them all, but we matter to the ones we do save."
