MURFREESBORO — An
MTSU graduate who spends a lot of her spare time chasing dogs will be the guest
on the next edition of the “MTSU On the Record” radio program.
Host Gina Logue’s interview with Miranda Caffey-Vogeler will
air from 5:30 to 6 p.m. Monday, July 7, and from 8 to 8:30 a.m. Sunday, July
13, on WMOT-FM (89.5 and www.wmot.org).
Caffey-Vogeler and her husband, Neil Vogeler, founded Short
Mountain Dog Rescue in 2008 at their home, which they have moved from Short
Mountain to a location near Dowelltown, Tennessee. To date, they have placed
more than 120 dumped and abandoned dogs in homes with caring owners.
“A lot of times they get shot,” Caffey-Vogeler said of the
discarded animals. “A lot of times they starve to death. What really spoke to
me, and what really started this for me, is when we would see the dogs not want
to leave the spot where they were dumped because they thought their owners were
coming back.”
Caffey-Vogeler holds a bachelor’s degree in outdoor
recreation and works for Good Gracious Café and Catering in Readyville,
Tennessee. Neil Vogeler holds an engineering degree from the University of
Illinois and works at Cosma Die Technology in Smithville, Tennessee.
