Who We Are
Me and Mo.
A movement built on 18+ years of rescue work, a belief that technology can save lives, and a dog named Violet who started it all.
The Origin Story
It Started with Violet.
Violet was pulled from a kill shelter with an untreated broken leg. She was hours from being euthanized. Saying yes to Violet changed everything — and set Lynda Menge on an 18+ year path of rescue, advocacy, and building systems that help animals survive.
Me and Mo was born from that moment. The name honors every animal who needed a second chance and every human who showed up to give it. Mo is the spirit of every rescue dog, cat, horse, and creature who deserved more time.
Lynda spent nearly two decades guiding teams through change — and she brought that same skill to animal welfare. She built Second Home Rescue to connect fosters, transporters, and shelter workers with the animals who need them most, before time runs out.
The Mission
Technology Meets Compassion.
We are building the Me and Mo Animal AI Platform — an urgent-alert system that flags animals nearing their euthanasia deadline and connects them with people who can say yes. Every tool we build points to a real animal someone can help this week.
Urgent Alerts
AI that surfaces animals running out of time — before it's too late.
Family Support
Helping families keep their pets when life gets hard, instead of surrendering them.
Giving a Voice
The PAWerful Podcast amplifies the fosters, transporters, and shelter workers who rarely get thanked.
On the Air
30-second rescue alerts on RadioKAIR — real animals, real deadlines, broadcast throughout the day.
