 SANDY LERTZMAN May 24, 1951- November 4, 2013



We sadly mourn the passing of our founder, Sandy Lertzman.



 Sandy Lertzman, for over 45 years was a pioneer in animal rescue. She woke every day to help all of god's beautiful creatures. She fed the deer, squirrel, raccoons, geese and what she called "Sandy's Safe Haven For All Animals" at her home. She has a sanctuary of beautiful cats that were to be murdered by Solon's animal warden. She fought for animal rights, protection of the slaughter of deer (when birth control is available), and laws to protect the animals. She was happy to see the "Goddard's Law" bill- which is a start to protect dogs in Ohio.

 The dogs that Sandy had were NOT puppies (the youngest was 8 years old). Sandy's dogs were all formerly abused dogs that no one wanted or could not be adopted. Blind dogs, dogs with severe disabilities, dogs who could not be socialized- all the dogs found her love and compassion. She obviously feared that upon her death, these abused dogs would be placed in harm's way. Sandy spent countless hours every day taking care of each dog and their specialized problems with her love that she offered.In a seperate shelter, she cared for the 10 cats- which will continue.

 None of us never ever know how we will react to adversity, pain, and stress. But we do know, that Sandra Marlene Lertzman was an angel on earth. She was a remarkable woman. Hundreds, maybe thousands of animals led a more dignified, loving, and beautiful life to our Sandy. We love her and will miss her everyday. We are sure she is in heaven, reunited with her animals and her son, Tommy.

 Animal Rights Foundation will continue, as strong as ever, in Sandy's memory. We will go on caring, supporting, and helping all animals in distress and supporting laws to protect our animals in her honor.

 Thank You for your kind support in this tragedy and time of sadness, we greatly appreciate it.

Much pathos ensues.

Will the hippies crying over trees please off themselves next?

From 'animal rights' supporter to 'mass animal slaughterer'. After all she's directly killed more animals than 99.99% of people will ever do in a lifetime.

Suicide by what?  Drugs, gun shot, asphyxiation????  

If it's not some animal rights wacko, or someone who goes off on a shooting spree, you can almost guarantee they are on the left.

So she killed dozens of dogs to prevent them from being euthanized.  Good thing she wasn't a child protection activist...

"Apparent suicide."

She left a suicide note, took a bottle of pills, and sat in her running car in a closed garage with thirty-one dogs.

We need to get some forensics on this before we jump to a conclusion.

I read in the raw story.com link that she had a lot of cats too, but she spared their lives and only killed the dogs.  If you're crazy, why not kill the whole kit and caboodle?

And that's very true.
