For those of you who don't know how this journey got started. This guy right here! ❤️ This was Mr Ludo. An abandoned soul who was left to fend for himself in the brutal cold in the middle of January. He was picked up by an elderly woman and stuck in a wire kennel in her front yard for about 4 days while waiting for somebody to claim him. I couldn't stand the thought of him being cold and confused like that, so I brought him home. Sketchy at first but he was an instant best friend. Instant soul bond. I loved that dog so much. He was killed by a passing truck right in front of me several months later. I have forgiven that man now, but I smelt the alcohol on him that evening, I was right there trying to get his attention, trying to stop the man. He didn't see either of us. It was instant. Mr Ludo did not suffer, but I did. Tremendously. I didn't even know what to do with myself once he was buried. About a month later I came across another abandoned dog, and then another, and then 2 more. It just wouldn't stop. My ideal was to pick them up, get them some food and water and call the shelter. With each new homeless dog came the same problem. No room in the shelters for them. No rescues could help. I called and called and emailed and messaged and begged and pleaded for a safe place for these dogs. I finally realized that I was that safe place. So what I did next was start getting them fully vetted and started looking for forever homes for them. Although it wasn't easy, it was worth it. I soon became buried in debt, I kept going. They needed me. Things just started working out. It's never been easy, but nobody gets left behind. Nobody. I'm still playing catch up with my finances and my sanity and it's August of 2025 now, 2 years later, and I am now in the process of getting fully licensed so I can continue this journey. Not for myself, but for The Love of Ludo and all the dogs who have nobody else to count on. ❤️❤️
