I was there today I wish you were not
I hope I hope I gave you love
I hope I gave a home
I hope I made you safe
Please know you're not alone
I hope you know I 'm here
I hope you know I'll stay
I hope I gave you something, when you go on your way
I hope that you've forgotten
The past that you have lived
I hope the little time we've shared
Erases all of it
I hope you know because of you
I will continue on
You are inside my head and heart
And I'll try to be strong
Another "big boy" will enter here But never take your place
Cuz all of you are special
And need a special place.
You've showed me in your eyes
You've showed me in your wag
That's why I'll always rescue
And there will always be a place.
I hope that I can quit
I know that I can not
You might not understand
Understand you I might not
Accept me for who I am,
Because I will accept you
Now you know rescue
Now you know me too

Please dont look away, come closer, right by my side.
I silently wait for your eyes to meet mine.
I sit alone day after day, just waiting for you to notice me.
The days grow longer the nights so lonely.
I long for the simple touch of your hands, to ease my fears and pain.
I often wonder why so many look away.
Dont they see the love I have deep down inside?
Do they not see how lonely I am?
I have so much love to give, but I cant give it unless it is offered to me.
I close my eyes each night and fall asleep.
I wait for a new day to arise.
And just maybe when I wake you will notice me.
You will then hold my weary head in your hands,
and softly speak those words I long to hear.
And just maybe I will be home......
Dear Molly,you left my side on Friday, May 28th but please know you did not leave my heart..For you were a hero and an angel.I have heard all angels come in a disguise and this you did, for you were frail and one eyed , some-what crippled, but mostly unwanted by many. How sad they did not see what I was blessedto have.
Your life was so special you enjoyed the small things in life but most of all you taught me how to smile at the silly things you did. I remember when youtaught yourselfhow to open mycupboards to steala bit of foodonly to know you would be caught, but not to be punished but to make me smileknowing I would give you a treat after all.
You loved every-one momentin time and all you metunconditionally.Every moment on this earth you knew was a gift, Your courage and love will always be a lesson for those lucky enough to have meet you.
Every day I will thank God for giving me my angel in disguise....I hope you know in your last moments when I held you close that I tryed to pass every ounce of love to you that I had in my heart
Please know Molly that I know you shared your soul with me...you were my angel on earth but now you are an angel sitting in Gods loving arms, for he only picks the best.
Thank you for your love, courage and lessons...... if only every-one could be so lucky tohave an angel in disguise they would have been blessed as I have.....Thank you Molly for letting me be a part of your life, and when I gaze at the stars I will look for the brightest knowing once again you are shining........ for you were and always will be my angel in disguise.......DEB
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL WHO HAVE DONATED IN MOLLY'S BEHALF OR WHO HAVE WROTE A LETTER OF SUPPORT...PLEASE KNOW YOU HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE AND HAVE MADE OUR JOURNEY TOGETHER A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE ....GOD BLESS YOU ALL DEB AND MOLLY
"The Pup Nobody Wanted"
Would you have picked me?
They said I was ugly, didn't anyone notice my true beauty inside?
Take a look into my eyes, you will see my heart .
To bad nobody took the time to look.
To bad nobody thought I was worthy of showing them.
Nobody bothered to even take me out of my kennel.
Little did they know that I was sweet and gentle.
I would have stolen your heart if someone would have only offered it to me.
All the other pups my age made it out of here,
they were either adopted or rescued.
I stood alone and watched as they all left one by one.
But nobody even noticed me.
I never ever had a chance to show anyone who I was,
nobody cared to get to know me,.
They didnt think I was cute enough,
they called me ugly.
I never had a chance to be loved.
I died alone yesterday.
Why didn't anyone notice me?
By the time we called to rescue him, it was to late, We will meet him at the bridge and let him know we wanted him and that we thought he was beautiful, and the first thing we noticed was his heart....... Lisa , Deb & Jan
*******************************************************************************
I sat in animal control, cold , scared, and unwanted. I gave my family all I had, but I got old, and my vision became cloudy and my steps a little more slow.
I guess you didn't want me anymore, I want you to know that I still love you, even though, you left me here in my time of need People came, but passed my cell with-out a second glance For who would want an old dog like me, with cloudy vision and tumors Even you my master, did not want this When there are so many younger cuter dogs to snuggle with.
I want you to know Today some-one came to my cell, and held me tight I tried with all might, to show her how I could still love, just like the younger dogs And I know she felt this, because I felt her tear on my ratted coat. I tried to kissed her tears away, as I did yours so many times. She gently laid me on the table and I heard her whisper that she was sorry, and that she loved me, but sadly there were so many like me. Old, not cute enough, or with a medical problem that no-one wants to deal with.
She said she was going to take me home today, to a place where there is no pain or fear. As I felt the prick I looked in her eyes,and she hugged me as she cried. For a moment I felt the love once again that I shared with you, but it was not you It was some-one who truly cared I wagged my tail and thanked her for loving me in my last moment. Then I closed my eyes and died.

That approximately 25% of dogs in America's shelters are purebred animals. And that most animals in shelters and available from Rescues aren't "problem" animals.
That the number one reason given by owners for surrendering animals to shelters is "we're moving." (Followed closely by reasons that have to do with human children or "I don't have time for an animal.")
That many animals are given up because human children are "allergic," yet there is a high rate of "false positive" allergen test results in children and parents should always seek a second opinion. Also, a new study has shown that exposing children to cats at an early age may PREVENT a later onset of asthma!
That an animal is euthanized in the USA every two seconds, and that 61% of dogs and 75% of cats are killed in shelters. That amounts to millions of animals per year - in fact, some major metro shelters don't record numbers killed, they report tonnage disposed of.
That seven puppies and kittens are born for every human born.
That an unspayed female cat and her first seven offspring can produce a total of 420,000 cats over 7 years.
That an unspayed female dog and her first average litter can produce a total of 67,000 dogs over 6 years.
That the USA & Canada are two of the few countries in the Western world which still allow puppies & kittens to be sold in pet shops, and that most pet shop stock are ticking timebombs of genetic, medical and behavior problems?
PLEASE HELP EDUCATE THE PUBLIC AND YOUR LEGISLATORS
I saw your photo today,
I have not stopped thinking about you since I saw your sad lonely face.
Your legs are bent from malnutrition.
Your face and ears are scarred and torn.
Your nose is slit so deeply that you are breathing through the unnatural opening.
Your head rests on the leg of the shelter worker,
your eyes have a sadness that runs deep into your soul.
You have never known kindness and love.
You stand there quietly as if you have no feeling at all.
You are so far away from me,
and you are a breed that is not considered except-able for me to rescue where I live.
I feel so helpless as I stare at your photos.
I reach my hand to the computer screen and touch your photo.
I close my eyes and make a wish that somehow you can feel me in your loneliness and pain.
You have no name, your fate is a horrible death with never knowing love.
You are in my heart my precious one,
I hope you know that someone out there is thinking of you
and would be honored to meet you someday at bridge.
I will call you "Angel" Love Lisa
As you look at our site or walk through a shelter, please consider the black dog, the homely dog, the special needs dog or the senior dog. These are the special ones that are usually passed by.
In a shelter they sit in there cage, hoping desperately that some-one will take them out of there prison and give them a chance. But most people walk by them without a second glance. They tend to look for the beautiful or young dogs.
Since rescuing I have found it is these special dogs that are truly beautiful and loving, they tend to give back 150 percent. WHY? Usually because they were never given much attention or love.
When we get a dog in our rescue we ignore the age, the looks, and the handicaps, but look into there soul. We have had a new foster recently adopt a dog that she brought into her home, of course he was passed by he had one eye, was 8 yrs., a homely mix. But when she brought him into her home she saw his true beauty and she just could not give him up.
My dream is for some-day for people to read what is said and forget about the look of an animal. If you do, you will find your dream dog, and I'm betting he will be the one that was passed by, or the one sitting in a rescue that no-one e-mails about. Trust me I have had many here and it is the special ones who have truly touched my heart. So Please take a chance, make a difference, and do not turn your back on these special angels I have a feeling you will not regret it.
Thank You......Deb
Dear Charlie,
I saw your photo today. I haven't been able to look at it since you have been gone. Our journey together is still fresh in my mind. I sometimes struggle with wondering if you knew that I tried so hard to save you. I treated you for heart-worms and I remember lying by your side, crying as you struggled with the pain. We made it through the HW treatment just fine, but that was just the beginning of our walk together.
You see the pain of the treatment was easy for you, compared to the scares you carried inside. You were severely abused, the cigarette burns on your ears were just one of the many visible scars you had. You began to sleep standing up when we were awake; you laid down at night but quickly woke to every sound. You constantly watched to make sure nobody would hurt you.
You tried so hard to be loved, and give love but your mind just kept reminding you of the past. In our long walk together, I noticed that the baggage that you carried was just getting to heavy to carry, you would not allow anyone to help. You struggled more and more each day with anxiety and fear. I had a talk with you and told you about a wonderful place where you would never be scared or hurt ever again. It’s a place where many of my friends have gone. I asked you to join them and wait for me at the gate.
I have no doubt that you were ready to go, I stayed by your side and sent you on your way. I whispered I love you and then you left for the bridge. I still think of you, I know that you are at peace and that you are waiting for me. Although our journey was not long enough, it was a journey that touched my life. I hope that you took something special with you that you found in our time together. And I hope for a time the baggage that you carried was bearable, and I hope you finally felt love. You are in my thoughts sweet Charlie.......Love Lisa
So many times I hear from people how wonderful we are to do what we do for these special animals. Each of you can do your part in making a difference to. You don't have to take in any dogs to make a difference.
What I am going to ask you to do will not always be easy, and you may say I cant handle it. Please try. All I ask is that you don't turn away from looking at these animals in need, walk through a shelter, take a good look at all of the homeless wonderful deserving animals that have no home. Look deep into the eyes of the scared and abused dogs sitting in the corner. Just look, don't push it away because it is not easy to see. Cry if you need to cry, get angry if you need to be angry.
There is no way we can change anything if we cant look at it. We cant fix it if we cant see what needs to be fixed. Take what you see and educate others. Do not turn your back completely, we can all make a difference by making ourselves and others aware of how sad it is that there are so many unwanted animals. Tell them to spay and neuter their dogs. Please use your voice for the voiceless, if you do this I guarantee you will make a difference.... Thank You......Lisa
Approved applications are required before we will consider any adopter. If you would like us to consider you for future rescue dogs it is advisable to have an APPROVED application on file. All approved applications will be first to be considered. Thank You...
We see more and more dogs come into rescue that are Heart-worm Positive. Please take a look at this graphic photo and remember to have your dog tested yearly and put on Heart-worm preventative . Please don't think for a moment this can't or won't happen to your dog! Thank You....
