It is with great sadness I am letting all know, due to illness and financial difficulties, Rosholt Small Dog Rescue will be closing. All dogs in my care have now been adopted or placed in other rescues.
However, I still have cats needing homes. I will continue to post on petfinder until all the rescued cats in my care have found forever homes. Once that is accomplished, Rosholt Small Dog Rescue will close completely.
I want to thank, from the bottom of my heart, all the people who adopted from us and all those who helped with donations. With out you, the furies we rescued would never have gotten a second chance at a better life. It has been a hard decision to make, but it had to be done.
Once I am back on my feet physically, I will continue to help as many furies as I can get a second chance at life by helping other rescues and shelters in any way I can. I would still love to get updates on all my adopted "kids". You will always be able to reach me at judyrsdr@yahoo.com. Please feel free to contact me anytime with updates or questions.
Again,THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP, my "kids" thank you too!
A RESCUE DOG'S POEM
Once I was a lonely dog just looking for a home. I had no place to go, no one to call my own. I wandered up and down the streets in rain, in heat, in snow. I ate whatever I could find, I was always on the go.
My skin would itch, my feet were sore, and my body ached with pain. No one stopped to give me a pat or gently say my name. I never saw a loving glance, I was always on the run. For people thought that hurting me was really lots of fun.
Then one day I heard a voice so gentle, kind and sweet, with arms so soft that reached down to me and took me off my feet. “No one again will hurt you,” was whispered in my ear. “You’ll have a home to call your own where you will know no fear.”
“You will be dry, you will be warm, you’ll have enough to eat. And rest assured that when you sleep, your dreams will all be sweet.” I was afraid, I must admit, I’ve lived so long in fear. I can’t remember the last time when I let a human come so near.
As she tended to my wounds and bathed and brushed my fur, she told me about this “rescue group” and what it meant to her.
She said, “we are a circle, a line that never ends.. In the center of it, there is you protected by new friends. All around you are the ones that check the pounds, and those who share their homes with you after you’ve been found.”
“All the other folks are searching near and far, to find the perfect home for you, where you can be a star.” She said, “there is a family, they are waiting very patiently, and pretty soon we’ll find them, just you wait and see.”
“And then they’ll join our circle, they’ll help to make it grow, so there’ll be room for more like you who have no place to go.”
I waited very patiently. The days, they came and went. Today is the day, I kept on thinking, my family will be sent. Then just when I began to think it wasn’t meant to be, there were people standing there gazing down at me.
“I could tell they felt it, too, for a special dog like you.”
Now every night I say a prayer to all the Gods that be. Thank you for the life I live and all you’ve given me. But most of all, protect the dogs in the pounds and in the streets. And send a Rescue Person to them to lift them off their feet.
