Rescue is not a "service". We are not obligated to do it. We are volunteers, not paid employees. You are not doing us a "favor" by adopting one of the dogs we rescued and rehabilitated, we are entrusting you to take care of that dog that we have cared for and loved and we thank you ♡
Please don't make demands, we take time away from our families, our animals, our paid jobs, our lives, ALL THE TIME, to do what we are so passionate about.
Our families complain. Sometimes our responsibilities are not prioritized. Please be patient. We wish we could respond to you faster. Rescue is not only about passion, but time and money. How do you think the dogs get to the vet? To adoption events? Who do you think feeds them, buys their food, products, toys, and bathes them, cleans up after them, cares for them and shows them affection? Who has sleepless nights while caring for the sick, then start the day all over again?
How do you think we pay for vet care? Please don't balk at an adoption donation when we put our ALL into these dogs, making sure they are healthy, and doing our best to find them a forever home, such as yours. Don't try to guilt us into doing more. We are NOT responsible for everyone else's messes. We already do more than we can or should, trust me. After all, we are human, just like you, trying to do the best we can, with lives and bills and problems just like everyone else. Work with us. Help us when you can. Crosspost, volunteer, foster, donate .
