Animal lovers Dale and Melanie DeAeth of Washington, Texas, who started the True Blue Animal Rescue organization, and their three children, Jessica, Cory and Colton, had their own home rescued by Ty and the gang in episode 15, in January, 2006.
The DeAeths are the first people the Texas law enforcement calls when they find abused and neglected animals. Their True Blue Animal Rescue organization provides a safe haven to horses, dogs and other animals that need loving care – and its run out of their own home!
While both parents have been working full-time jobs in addition to rescuing, nurturing and adopting out animals, they neglected their own house, which was literally falling apart! The DeAeth home’s foundation had shifted, the walls were cracked throughout, and termites had invaded.
Since they started True Blue Animal Rescue, the DeAeths have taken in over 90 dogs and 40 horses – many of which were living full lives in adopted homes as of show time. But they still had 30 dogs and 15 horses on their property and several cats that were in temporary foster homes. Between vet costs and nutrition, this family was in need of rescue themselves.
This family was so busy that everyone pitched in to help the animals in the evenings and on weekends, and each child had his/her own rescue dogs with their own special story. Melanie also helped take in and rescue animals left homeless in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and took horses and dogs back home with her to adopt out. In this episode, the “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” team headed to a Texas ranch to take care of the family who’ve worked hard to end animal abuse and neglect by taking care of so many of our furry friends!
While Ty and the gang, along with the hundreds of workers and volunteers and local builder Stylecraft Builders, Inc., transformed their house into a comfortable and safe home and animal shelter, the DeAeth family went on vacation to Palm Springs.
The design team for this episode of “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” featured team leader Ty Pennington, Tanya McQueen, Michael Moloney, Ed Sanders and Eduardo Xol.
