****************************************************************
We realize, in a logical perspective, that we are not going to be able to broadly change the World..
But, we know we can be an advocate of change. .
We know that we can not rescue every animal in need, but little by little, we can help one animal at a time.
We know we CAN make a difference!
*****************************************************************
Nice Dog Rescue works cooperatively with 4 individual sister rescuers who rescue adoptable dogs from high-kill facilities.
All adoptable companion animals completely vetted, they complete a quarantine period of 2>3 weeks each to ensure their health is never in question, and then transported to pre-screened adoptive families &
no-kill shelters and rescues located from Washington DC to South Jersey. IF we can not find responsible homes for all those we rescue each month, we work non-stop to find no-kill rescue groups and shelters for those we still have available, to help us make room for those in emminent danger of being eithanized. Many of these rescued ones are dumped off in rural communities by their owners, or given up because of the current economic crisis or foreclosure on thier homes, or because they must go into a nursing home/care facility and can no longer care for them. Some are merely left behind when their owners move and do not take them with them... thinking 'someone will see them and care for them'. In reality, most are picked up by Animal Control after their neighbor reports that the dog has been abandoned.
This is nothing better than neglectful and is illegal, irresponsible and inhumane!
And so, this is where we come into the picture.
It is our mission in life to help as many of those who can not help, nor speak, for themselves as we possibly can manage. It is never-ending and overwhelming, but our spirits soar when we see them meet their new owners who open their hearts and homes to these wonderfully UNconditionally loving & resilient creatures.
