WAY TO GO MIDTOWN!!!!!!
We are no longer taking Pit bulls of any kind
We have been swamped with call wanting us to take pit bulls. We are unable to take them at this time. What we can handle are a few smaller dogs under 50 pounds. Our space is very limited.
Our First Rescue
We had our first official rescue.
We were sitting down for a a peaceful lunch with a rescue worker from the city when the phone rang and the lady on the other end was frantic. She was needing our help getting 2 dogs out of the swimming pool. She was unable to get a hold of the fire dept. and didn't know what to do. When we arrived Delana began to strip down to her undergarments so she would be able to get into the pool if needed. When we got to the back and saw what we were dealing with we were surprised to see 2 beautiful labs that were full grown. The pool had been partly drained of the water, but the deeper half was full. There was no way they could have gotten out because it was way to slick for them. We found a rope and Margaret tied it to the ladder then we made a human chain. Denise held on to Delana then Susie held on to Denise and Margaret was on the end of the chain. When Denise yield PULL , Delana grabbed the collar of the first dog and up he came and then the second one. They were so grateful to be out of there. After it was all over the fire dept. came. We told them they we a bit to late. I just love happy endings!
Our Latest Rescue
We had a call from Good Year to come out and get a dog that had been on the plant site for about 2 weeks. She was living in a tin horn. Some of the people were feeding her and others were kicking at her trying to get her to go away. She was so scared of people. It took us almost 2 hours to get her. We knew we could not leave without this little girl because a snow storm was coming our way and she was going to have puppies! This was on a Sun. We took her to the vet Mon to find out she was going to have 7 babies, but all looked good. We got her the shots that we could and Delana took her home. A week and 2 days after the rescue I am proud to say we have 7 wonderful puppies.
UPDATE: They where all adopted out to good homes when we had the Fair!
Who We Are
Let me introduce myself. My Name is Denise and the two other ladies who are resposible for this rescue is Delana my sister and a good friend name Margaret.
We were founded quite by accident. We started out by helping a few ladies, find homes for abandoned and abused animals.
Countless number of animals are thrown away, or put to sleep, because of ignorance. It was going to be just a part time things but the three of us got together and decided to start our own rescue.You have to truly love animal to do this. There is nothing easy about it. The hours are long and the pay is none except for the love these little guys show you and for that we are truly rich.
Without each of us encouraging the other and without Benji to inspire us, even though it was for a short time, that's all it took. We were on our way.
We can't save them all,but we can try and save as many as possible.
Please spay or neuter your pets, and if your willing to adopt an animal, keep in mind, it could be from 1 to 12 years or longer. So if you're not truly committed, please don't unless its for keeps.
Our goal is to STOP KILL SHELTERS, and find as many homes as we can, where dogs can live a long and happy life. Wee Bee Benji Come Home Rescue Ink is a nonprofit organization.
Special Thanks
I would like to take this time to thank Dr. Hanye who believes in us and has helped us a lot!
Carol and Elizabeth who are dynamite ladies who's courage is beyond belief.
The Meers Volunteer Fire Dept. for all there help with the water. Please remember to donate to your local Fire Dept. They are a great group of people!
The Story of Benji
The story of Benji.
While at camp a stray little dog came up to my sister. He had the most beautiful eyes you have ever seen. He would hold his paws up for you to hold him, just like a child needing comfort from there momma. This poor little guy was so messed up. His neck had a big open wound as well as other cuts. You could see it was infected. We took him to the vet where Delana had him treated and given meds. for her to give to him. We tried to find who owned him. We took him to the shelter. We decided to call him Benji. He was on the road to recovery when one night someone stole him. We look for this little guy with no avail. Three day had past and on one of the coldest night he tried to make it back because the next morning he was found in a pile of hay where he had died. Delana went down and bought him a casket and we buried our beloved Benji at the shelter with a cross to market his resting place.
When I get discouraged all I have to do is go to the grave site and I remember why we are doing this.
Thank you for taking the time and reading this.
Pet Friendly
We would like to thank the Meers Store for being pet friendly. They have wire pet carriers outside for you to use when you come and eat. They are under a shaded pavilion. If you will let them know you have your companion there they will even let you use a lock and may even give you a rib bone for your friend.
If you know of any place that is pet friendly please let us know so we can get the word out.
Prayer for Animals
Hear our humble prayer.O God,for our friends the animals,
especially for the animals who are suffering;
for animals that are overworked, underfed and cruelly treated;
for all wistful creatures in captivity that beat their wings against bars;
for any that are hunted or lost or deserted or frightened or hungry;
for all that must be put to death.
We entreat for them all Thy mercy and pity,
and for those who deal with them we ask a heart of compassion
and gentle hands and kindly words.
Make us, ourselves, to be true friends to animals
and to share the blessings of the merciful.
Amen.
By: Albert Schweitzer
