Sharing the passion

I have been working with homeless animals for almost 8 years now. It is heartbreaking to work with rescue, but it is also so rewarding when we see the poor animals find a forever home.  There are millions of lost and abandoned animals just waiting for someone to come to their rescue. They have no voice.  They are tossed out by their owners and left to die in remote areas,  they are tossed out of cars on the side of the roads of America, and they are dropped off at animal control facilities constantly with no one to come to their aid. That's why I have decided to start this blog.   I hope some will find it and be moved with compassion to do something to save them.

I have had so many of them come in and out of my door.  They have looked at me with thankful eyes, and they have put their warm heads in my lap as I have stroked their heads telling them that no one will ever hurt or abandon them again.  I hope I have been able to keep that promise.  We adopt them out week after at our local mall.  We try very hard to screen the adopters, but people can pull the wool over your eyes;  that we have found out the hard way.

 I have so many wonderful dogs to write about.  Some have passed away years ago, some have found a forever home, and some are lying at my feet at this very moment as the winds rip through the mountains here in North Carolina.  While they are here, content and warm, others are out there alone freezing with no love and no shelter.  I have cried a million tears over these dogs  I have said countless prayers.  I have begged strangers to help them. I have started a rescue website, but it is never enough.

I guess I will go back to the beginning as I write this, and tell who ever is out there about all the dogs I've loved before.  Are you there?   I hope you will invite your friends to read this and to do something for "the least of these."
