Its official

I`ve been waiting and watching my snow patches disappear for days . And finally, my SnowDrops are blooming. For me, its a sign of spring, a time of rejuvenation, a time of rebirth and hope for the future. It all sounds so poetic doesn`t it? Well, can`t help how I feel these days.
Almost every phone call has been people wanting us to take in their pets. The reasons vary. Some are pretty lame and I`ve heard them before, like this one "I need to find a place for my 6 year old dog because my 5 year old son has allergies." It took that long to figure it out? I smile with my voice and ask the usual questions. And then I go pick the dog up. Why? Because its obvious that the dog will be thrown or tied outside for the rest of its life. This dog is no longer wanted by the family. If its let go, the pound will pick it up .
And then ....
Its a time for new beginnings and hope for the future for this dog. Life will get better for this dog.

I get calls from Cranberry and never hesitate to go for the dog or cat that needs us, regardless.
Yes, I`m too soft. Yes, we`ll get full . Yes, the vet bill will climb.
We will make room . We will call our rescue friends for help. We will beg for money.
I`m a Rescuer and thats what I do. 24/7/365
