When a fellow animal rescuer dies, the loss is felt by every
person and animal touched. On November 13, 2008, longtime animal rescue advocate Ingela Levett passed away after a long battle with leukemia. After her retirement form the corporate world, Ingela devoted her life to animal rescue, creating Rawhide Rescue in 2001.
Based out of New Jersey, Ingela worked hard to create a phenomenal network of volunteers and foster homes across the state with the mission of saving homeless dogs.
The organization she created has re-homed thousands of dogs since it began. In addition to helping the animals, Ingela inspired countless people to become involved in animal rescue.
On behalf of everyone at Petfinder, we are honored to have known and worked with Ingela.

I volunteered with Ingela at a local shelter many years ago. What a wonderful, peaceful person. We have lost a good soul. Right now I imagine she has gathered together with the animals who have left us! May she and her family be filled with love and light!
Ingela was an inspiration to so many. Our thoughts are with her family and friends.
I am so sorry to hear of Ingela's passing. She did so much for so many. My sincere condolences to her family and friends. I hope her work and accomplishments will continue through Rawhide Rescue.
Regards,
Janet Ratliff
