"Animals choose to come into our lives. They are part of our karma and we are part of theirs. Sometimes they are found "abandoned" or wandering, in the middle of a road or in danger in the heart of the night; other times they are found at the front door of the house, as sent by fate; other times they arrive from loved ones, neighbors or strangers.

Animals were already in our karma at least. In this life, as in the others. According to Brian Weiss, the same animal often incarnates itself several times during our lifetime, simply changing shape and coat, and being recognized by small gestures, details and subtle habits. This is clearly seen with cats.

When a "new" animal enters our house and knows exactly where to go, it's a sign that it simply says back. Many people, at the moment of death, receive the soothing vision not of a deceased relative, but rather of an animal. This means a lot. Because for our soul there is no difference between one species and another.

Animals are in our evolutionary path just like we are in theirs, for this reason we must respect them as sacred creatures and take the greatest care of them. They are part of us, in a different form of the universe."

No one ever said life was fair... but this unfair twist of fate is truly heart shattering.

After being called to come to the rescue of newly named Leroy, the vet was concerned about a cancer threat. On a sonogram today it was found that there was a huge mass on his liver and that the kindest thing for him would be to let him be free of his failed body.

Leroy, I am so sorry that your supposed family gave you away to people who hit, kicked and tried to stab you in the street... I'm more sorry that Adorabull didn't have the time to right all the wrongs for you.

Please know that our short journey together will be cherished and you have a family who loves you, you have us, forever.

It's at times like these that I am reminded that we are all just walking each other home.



Footnote added. Some people have been questioning why the decision was made to let him go so soon.
My name is Riaan, and I am a committee member of Adora-Bull Terrier Rescue. I am the one that was with Leroy last night when he left this world. I really think that your intentions might come from a good place, but clearly not thought out and comes across as callous. So let me give you the facts. We are PRO-LIFE, and will do ANYTHING to save a dog’s life. Our kennels are filled to the maximum the whole time. and we have several dogs in boarding kennels we as a charity organization have to pay for. Things in South Africa are progressively getting worse for animals. Not a lot of people are adopting, but backyard breeders keep on breeding. We have healthy 1- and 2-year-old dogs waiting to be homed. This boy had a cruel life. He had advanced cancer. Wouldn't it have been more cruel to put him in a kennel for a few weeks in the winter? Plus, he was very reactive to other dogs at the vet. They had to keep him separate while we ascertained his health status. He would have been stressed to the limits in a kennel. Who would foster him in a home for a few weeks? Not a lot of people step up. We do not make these decisions on our own, or for our own comfort. 2 vets confirmed that this course of action would be best. We also NEVER let a dog cross the rainbow bridge alone. I was with him yesterday afternoon. I played with him and gave him love, cuddles and treats. I held him, and loved him, and begged his forgiveness for what humans did to him as he went to the angels. I cried for him as if he was my own after only knowing him such a short while. I take this very personally! He, along others (like Rain and Gracie) will forever haunt me because we didn't get to them in time. So please, don't judge if you can’t step up! Here is my mobile number (+27-72-192 7777) if you want to speak to me personally or swear at me or judge me. But don't EVER question Adora-Bulls values and question their commitment to giving bull terriers their all.... To the last!

Discovering the Tosa Inu, this beautiful Japanese dog breed is a force to be reckoned with.

Surrendering dogs with a bite history and not disclosing aggressive incidents to a rescue organization is not only unethical but dishonest.

It has resulted in a volunteer being injured today and needing further medical treatment.

After a lengthly wait today at our Veterinarian for the surrendering owner to arrive because they were apparently lost, it turns out they couldn’t even load their own dog due to aggression.

After several excuses of car trouble and lack of directions the dog was collected and our volunteer bitten.

This will now affect their work responsibilities tomorrow something Rottweiler Rescue depends on.

If your dog has bitten someone, can not be loaded by yourself as an owner it is unfair to expect a rescue organisation to handle them.

The days of rehabilitation are over - there are not enough homes for healthy dogs let alone problematic dogs - that is the reality.

Do the right thing and have your animal sedated and put to sleep.

Stop endangering the lives of innocent people who did not buy, breed or create your problem.

Responsibility lies with you!
