QUOTE TO LIVE BY

Why should man expect his prayer for mercy to be heard by What is above him when he shows no mercy to what is under him? ~Pierre Troubetzkoy

Welcome To Our Blog

This blog has been started by a group of animal loving rescuers.

After many years of sharing animals on Facebook only to be limited to what you are allowed to post without running into issues with Facebook standards (which by the way are a joke) we have banded together to share the good, the bad and the ugly of the shelter and rescue worlds that many of these animals become victim of.

This blog is not intended to cause harm or humiliation to anyone, but rather to entice others to research the people they so freely hand these animals over to, and so freely donate their hard earned money to.  Sadly, not everyone in rescue is in it for the animals.  Many are in for greed and their own financial gain while hiding behind a facade of being an animal advocate.  Through the kind hearts of many, some of these people know just how to manipulate and prey on these people to further their own selfish needs and the animals fall to the wayside.  The majority of people in rescue are good people.  As long as you are researching where your money is going, and advocating responsibly, you should be fine.  But don't believe that everyone you meet on Facebook is as good as you may be.   You only hear and see what they allow you to hear and see, which is a huge fault with Facebook.  And it leaves many of these good people lost for ways to help forewarn others and protect these animals.

This is where our page comes in.  We will be sharing stories and allegations of rescue issues and individuals.  We ask that you all share with us your concerns, and that when submitting information that you send any documentation you have to support your claims.  Otherwise our hands are tied.  We do not intend to tarnish reputations, and if you are mentioned on this blog, please email us as well and we will share you responses with our readers to.  We want to tell all sides of the issues if possible while making everyone aware of both sides, and not just one sided attacks like Facebook is known for.

Our goal is to protect the animals and urge others to be diligent and proactive.  Do your research and remember a rescue is only a rescue if the dog remains safe.   Rescue is not pulling a dog from a shelter or an abandoned back yard and sending them to an adopter without making sure that it is in fact a good home.  And making sure you are certain the animal is safe for the remainder of their precious lives.

Thank you all and Welcome!
