ENERGIZER BUNNY and SUPERMAN to the rescue!

It never ends, as long as people are uncaring and as long as breeding remains un-regulated. If it was not for special members, we would go absolutely out of our minds. A true giver in every sense of the word has now been with us for almost 2 years and has rescued all our small, to tiny dog breeds, including 2 cats, 2 horses and several large breeds as well. She is shy and private and does not like for us to mention her name, as we did in our last newsletter, so we just call her "Energizer Bunny" One of her rescued dogs is a Beagel mix. She is old and was treated for heart worms. The severity of her case left her with congested heart failure and her lungs filled with fluid.

Hopefully God will provide a miracle towards her recovery, as He did for our Vice President, who was diagnosed with an Aneurysm. (After many prayers and believing in the power of healing, the third test revealed no evidence that there had ever been one in the first place.)

Another honorable mention is ROD! We spoke of him before and ROD is the opposite of being shy. After sharing a kidney with his son, he is now almost back to be his ownself. Sometimes we think Rod isnSuperman". His devotion to Pit bulls and every suffering creatures is endless. He does everything to stop suffering and pain and does this without selfish motivation. He is now busy helping Catherine T deal with her 65+ rescued dogs, while our "Energizer Bunny-is right by his side.

And not to forget, Mike, the one who is in charge of everything around here is as good as Gold. He supervises, trains, feeds and waters and when there is no other help and trust me, WE ARE ALWAYS SHORTOF HELP, he even picks up poopy.

Luckv Dogs!

Soon many little rescued doggies will be bound for Arizona, where everyone is busy preparing for their arrival. Those that are staying here with us are Monika, a F chocolate Lab, Dixie, a F yellow Lab, Copper, a medium size, short haired, sweet "Who knows what" dog and a mixed German Shepherd. There is also a Great Pyrenees Pup, who was found lying in a ditch, unable to walk and in much pain. It turned out that he had a severe bladder infection. It took about 7 days at the hospital for "Noah" to get well and he is now shacking up with "Bruno", the old Saint Bernard who is very happy to have finally found a companion as gentle as he is himself.

A different kind of Organization

I often wish that we could get more help, as other organizations do, but instead, we give help to almost everyone who comes to our place. Such as helping others with food, medicine and first aid for injured or sick animals. Often pet owners are turned away by veterinarians, because they do not have the money to,pay up front for a sick or injured animal. This is a dilemma that was created by dishonest people and Veterinarians must make a living for their families and cannot always work for nothing.

When people bring them here, we call the veterinarian and promise to pay, in case the owner will fail to do so. Not once were we reimbursed. Not once did we receive a 'thank you" and the only gratitude we get is the knowledge that we stopped the suffering or certain death of an animal. Each time we tell ourselves that we must stop this practice, but then we have to remind ourselves that we are not here to make money or to make a name for ourselves, but to save lives. Thanks to people that care, thanks to those that donate food and make donations to do spay and neuters, we can make a difference for many creatures, great and small.
