We Did It – 2,000 Dogs Rescued!
Dear Friends,
When we first started Cherished Tails, I held on to a tiny hope. A hope that if we all did our part, we might change a few lives. Maybe a few dozen. Today, that fragile hope has turned into a miracle. Two thousand dogs saved.
Every single one had a name. A face. A story. Some were broken and sick. Some were tossed aside like they did not matter. Some were old and forgotten. And yet, because of you, they were loved, healed, and given a future.
I think about the nights a foster sat on the floor with a scared senior, whispering that it was safe now. I think about the transporter who drove hours in the dark so a dog could wake up in a soft bed instead of a cold shelter cage. I think about the adopters who sent us photos of their new family members curled up on the couch, finally home.
This milestone is not numbers. It is a patchwork of sacrifice, heartbreak, and joy stitched together by you - our supporters, donors, volunteers, transporters, and most of all, our fosters who never stop saying yes.
We have had to make hard choices. There were days we said no when every fiber of us wanted to say yes. Money was tight. Space was gone. Still, someone always stepped up. One more gift. One more ride. One more foster. And because of that, two thousand lives now have a second chance.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of this family. Thank you for making “one more” possible. This milestone belongs to you. And tomorrow, together, we begin again.
With gratitude and hope,
