About Us

OUR MISSION
M.O.A.R. is a community-focused nonprofit founded in October 2024 by Janet Guglielmi and Cindy Carrasquilla, committed to improving the lives of rescue animals in the Milford Animal Control Shelter.
Through collaborative efforts, fundraising, education, and compassionate care, we strive to ensure every animal in need receives the shelter, medical attention, and love they deserve.
By engaging volunteers in key areas such as event planning, animal care, outreach, and advocacy, we raise awareness, build support, and promote humane treatment.
Our goal is to empower volunteers, encourage lasting change, and unite our community in the shared mission of rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming all of the animals that come through the shelter.
