They come to her. They find her instinctively ... the strays, the abandoned, the traumatized, the lost and the wounded.
It isn't because of the sign on her door, but the love in her heart. She's a rescuer, a friend to animals and people.
It's her calling from above to make it safe and love them whole. And she does. Jody Doty

DID YOUR DOG FIND A RABBIT’S NEST? Not sure what to do? We have you covered!

It’s actually a very common situation. Rabbits frequently make their nests out in the open. They are simply shallow depressions in the ground covered with mom’s fur and dead grass.

It doesn’t take much for someone’s dog to sniff out what’s going on. Once your dog knows where the nest is, your pet is going to have a hard time leaving it alone.

Baby cottontails only need 3 weeks to become old enough to make it in their own. Wild rabbits generally DO NOT do well in rehabilitation. The best bet is to keep them with mom. If your dog has discovered the nest, but hasn’t caused harm to the babies, there is a way to keep everyone happy and safe!

Simply stake down a laundry basket over the nest before you let your pups out. Once they have had their fun (or finished doing their business) remove the laundry basket so mama can access her babies. She does this only twice a day.

It’s only for a few weeks and it can save some precious, adorable, little lives! Please spread the word! We know this is a common problem.
FYI. The bunnies pictured are very close to. Being on their own.

If anyone can help with the domestic animals we are caring for. We are in need of cat food (any brand), cat litter (any brand), laundry soap (any brand) and hay for rabbits.
I've had multiple car repairs that have left funds tight.
Here's our Amazon link.

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS
AT RAINBOW BRIDGE

'Twas the night before Christmas, at Rainbow Bridge too.
We were thinking as always of you.
We'd seen how the holidays weren't bright this year,
Heard you whisper so often, "I wish you were here!"

We know how you wish you could just stay in bed
And sleep through the holiday lying ahead,
When all celebrate with their loved ones so near...
Unless they have loved ones on this side this year.

But we're no less alive here, on the other side.
If you could just see us, you'd've laughed and not cried.
The dogs all in harness, pulling the sleigh.
The cats all in Santa hats pointing the way.

The pet birds all flying back over the rainbow,
Bound homeward in spite of Earth's darkness and snow.
All the pets that you've lost, pets for whom you've cried,
Flying home on this Christmas to be by your side.

If you feel warm fur brush you when no pet's around,
Hear a soft bark or purr, just a ghost of a sound,
We're trying to tell you we're visiting this way,
And our visits, even rainbows, can be on any day.

But for Christmas we have something special to do,
A sleighful of happy dream visits for you.
On doggy, on kitty, on winged friend and ferret!
The love that you lavished, we mean now to share it!

We're fetching that love home, the way we once played,
With the closeness we shared and the memories we made.
Our Earth lives with you were too short for us, too,
And on this Christmas Eve we have so much to do.

So all through this night as you sleep in your beds,
Sweet visions of furbabies dance in your heads.
This one special night we can bring you Home for a while,
Your true home in Heaven, where again you will smile.

Over the rainbow you'll fly, for a short while this night,
Hours that you'll be happy, hours that will feel right,
Hours to cuddle and hug us, to run and to play,
Before the return to Earth in our magic way.

And when you awaken and face Christmas Day,
We pray you'll remember your trip on our sleigh,
But in case you forget, just remember our love.
Remember us watching you, your angels above.

Sending love wrapped in rainbows, shining and bright,
Love that will guide you through the darkest night,
Love found in each memory unwrapped through the year,
Replacing dark sorrows with Christmas cheer.

Leave the toys to St. Nick, we Bridgekids bring dreams,
Sweet visits to remind you all is not as it seems
When you look all around you with tired Earthly eyes.
If you saw as we do, there'd be joy and surprise.

There are furangels waiting by those Christmas trees,
Always there for you and hearing your pleas.
We're never more than a thought away from your home,
You're never forgotten, you're never alone.

Nor are we alone here, with our Rainbow Bridge friends.
We know only joy here, the celebrating never ends,
And after our reunions with you Christmas Eve,
We Bridgekids will party like you'd never believe.

But we'll slip away often to be by your side.
Sitting there watching you, eyes open wide,
Praying you'll be able to catch a glimpse of us, too.
But whether or not you see us - Merry Christmas to you!

Poem from a Feral Cat 🐱

I may never be a lap cat,

or one who comes when called.

I may resist the hand that tries to touch

and some may think I’m flawed.

I may prefer my freedom

to your warm and cozy house

I may reject a bowl of finest foods

for the chance to catch a mouse.

But the box you put out for me,

Feels safe and warm and dry.
And I raise my eyes to thank you

when I see you walking by.

I eat the food you give me

I listen to your voice

I may never be a lap cat

but thank you for offering me the choice.

One day I’ll see the winter,

one day I’ll feel the rain,

I may grow old not knowing

there is freedom from this pain

I know you’ve tried to help me

and although my days will end

I may never be a lap cat

but I know you are my friend.
🐱❤️🐾

Happy Halloween

Poison always hurts more than it's intended victim and makes the problem worse.
Poison builds up in the victims body and kills predators. There are far fewer predators than prey.

You can see here, cats walk on their toes. When a cat is declawed it’s an amputation to the first joint. Basically the toes are amputated. This changes the way a cat walks and over time causes arthritis to multiple areas of the cats body. Declawed cats often avoid the cat box because of pain in the feet and arthritis in the body….. Please consider other options before declawing your cat 🐾

If a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better than humans. Animals are nothing but living beings, worthy of our compassion, respect, friendship and support.
