Laraine Russo Harper is the Founder of Symphony Animal Foundation. Determined to create a safe haven for domestic animals who suffer from abuse, neglect and/or abandonment, she created this non-profit 501(c)3 corporation and named it in memory of her two original St. Bernards; Beethoven and Mozart.
Being a former brothel Madam, she is also the author of "Legal Tender; True Tales of a Brothel Madam" and donates all of the proceeds from her book to Symphony Animal Foundation.
Her out-of-the-box, cutting edge approach to animal adoption proves to be a key component in helping to accomplish the Foundation's mission of "No More Pound Bound Animals".
Laraine Russo Harper started her career in casino management before moving on to become a Madam. After leaving the brothel industry, she has focused her attention to the creation of Symphony Animal Foundation.
