If you choose to rescue animals, I am going to give you some sound advice - Grow thick skin and don’t care what people think of you. Compassion fatigue is real, but nothing is worth your life. No pet. No rescue. No person’s opinion. Nothing.

In rescue, that person that tells you what an angel you are and how wonderful you are every time you pick up a stray pet thrown at their door will also be the first person who tells people how your organization is worthless when you don’t have space to pick up the 30th pet thrown off on their property. It’s ok.

In rescue, the adopter that leaves you the five star review about how wonderful everyone has been will change that review quick when they return the pet even though you have spent hours trying to keep it in their home. One star reviews are ok.

In rescue, your friend will be your friend until you deny their application for a pet because they are a great friend but a terrible pet owner. That’s ok too.

In rescue, you will answer 143 calls in a day (yesterday to be exact). But if you miss 6 calls in a row while you are in the shower, you will be the one who “never answers their phone”. It’s ok.

In rescue, other rescuers and random trolls will judge everything you do but never have time to pitch in a hand to help when they see something needing more attention. They will, however, have lots of time to talk about how they’d do it better while they harass and judge you. It will be ok.

In rescue, you will have to involve animal control and the police department sometimes. The people who you take pets from will hate you - and I mean REALLY hate you. Trust me, it’s ok.

In rescue, pets will be put down and pets will die at the hands of abusers. We can’t save them all - and that’s ok. We save the ones that we can and pray for peace for the ones we can’t.

*** SHARED, because those of us who do this, are the only ones that know what it's really like ***

Conner and Boomer.
Seniors.
They have been living at a facility for about almost decade!
They are loved there but the facility management has made new rules and they are no longer supposed to be there.
They are plain brown wrappers and older at that.
They have been fully vetted with recent dentals.
On the slight chance there is a home that can accommodate this pair of buddies we ask that you reach out via email.

Swirl
Approximately 6 months old.
Female pit mix
Remember her?
Found in the middle of the road by me (Sandy)
Knew the shelter would turn her away and I did try and was refused.
Didn’t have room for a dog much less a pit.
The day I had her in my car to send to another rescue foster I made one last call to her and her other pit foster was just placed so she told
Me to bring her over❤️
Applications for this beautiful girl are available by emailing [email protected].
Let’s find her a happily forever after❤️
