Dinner hours of September 7th MisFit ResQ encountered one of the most devastating losses any rescue could ever encounter. A house fire in one of the homes that housed seven of our dogs.
There was some kind of fire in the kitchen that likely occurred from lightning and the horrible storm that we had this afternoon according to the fire inspector. Sadly the kitchen is no longer recognizable the refrigerator is melted and it's a blessing that the dogs didn't actually incinerate. They did, however, pass from smoking inhalation and my heart is beyond repair from this horrific loss. I have encountered a lot of tragedy in my life and a lot of loss more loss than most people should have to encounter and I try to look at the bright side of things if I can it's the only thing that keeps me from going into a deep depression and that is that we had four dogs in there two nights before that I moved because they kept jumping the fence, and we had four kitties that we had moved to get spayed. I also was supposed to move two dogs back into that house yesterday after we had removed the other four and I didn't because I had a meet and greet with one of our dogs. In spite of our tremendous loss there was a saving grace.
This little self-funded rescue is my whole world these animals are my whole world everything about these guys are my blood sweat and tears. They are my lifeline they are what keeps me going everyday and with the loss like this it just feels almost impossible. I have felt numbness before but nothing like this.
I asked that you keep us in your prayers and if anybody can make a donation to us it would be extremely helpful we have seven cremations we have to do which I wasn't expecting and they are all private. Zelle is [email protected]... we have venmo and cash up and I can't even think of what their handles are right now anything would be greatly appreciated but in the meantime I would like very much for anybody and everybody to say a prayer not only for us and my employees but for the babies that we lost.
