I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter.....
The cast-offs of Human Society.
I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal.
And I was angry.
"God", I said, "This is terrible! Why don't you do something?"
God was silent for a moment and said softly,
"I have done something, I created YOU..."
WHO WE ARE
We are a home based, not for profit rescue dedicated to saving as many homeless, neglected and abused dogs as possible. We work with local kill pounds and certain rescues to ease the burden of over population and caring for the sick or injured. After volunteering at a local rescue, we could no longer stand by and wait for someone else to step up and help those in need. To see the faces of all those scared and homeless dogs that don't understand why their family would just leave them alone with no bed to sleep in and no one to love them when they are scared. It truly is heartbreaking. We believe every dog should be able to live inside the home with their family and not tied in the yard or to a dog house. Adopting a dog is the same as adding a new family member.
Please take care of your animals, if you find yourself in the situation where you can no longer care for your dog please do not dump them along side the road or tied to a tree somewhere. And never give away your animal. Do you know that research labs will pick up the FREE animals for research purposes? That is no place for a family pet, or any pet to end up at.
We do have dogs that will never be able to leave the rescue, our home, due to health issues or age. We will provide these dogs with all the hugs and kisses they can stand.
Thank you for considering a shelter pet, THEY will love you for it!!!!

A BIT OF HUMOR!
The family's dog was bought to guard, Chained to a post in a chilly backyard. House in a shed that was airless and dark. And every few weeks had a run in the park.
When boredom set in with no fun and no work, One day it broke loose and went quietly berserk. Paw couldn't fathom just why it went wild, As it flattened his wife and the bit his child.
The police were called in to sort out the mess, And the whole sorry tale was revealed in the press, The Rescue Society was really annoyed,
So, the dog was re-homed and the owners destroyed...
