WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO!
Ever felt lost, hopeless, abandoned and scared? Ever wished that YOU could have a second chance?
That's the way a lot of homeless dogs and cats feel. Some say animals don't feel the same emotions that we do. But they do! Dogs and cats need to feel loved and cared for. They need us to provide for them and understand them.
Unfortunately not all dogs ad cats have wonderful homes, some do not even have a place to call home. Some live in homes that are not kind to them and their owners really don't want them. Many dogs are sold to laboratories and puppy mills.
Have you ever or could you ever imagine seeing the horrors of uncared for or abused animals? Have you ever looked into the eyes of a dog whose owners decided that they did not have time for it anymore and attached a note to the collar and set it out far away from home.....Have you ever helped a lost and injured dog to find his family who very much missed him....Many of us have!
Many of us have devoted our lives to the rescue and care of dogs and cats. Many go to great lenghts for even one animal in the hope that we may save one. Rescue is not always pretty, and sometimes we have to face the reality that we can't save them all.
But we will hold in our hearts forever the great feeling of the ones we can.
In a perfect world there would be no need for people like us, but we don't live in a perfect world. We are a throw away society; and unfortunately some people in our society throw away dogs and cats.
One of the biggest rewards of rescue is to place a rescued animal in a new home and see that animal grow and prosper. To often our hearts are filled with sadness as we recieve individual rescue cases. But with our loving care and commitment we are able to turn many sad situations into extremely happy situations.
