Saturday`s Child

Juliene went to his new home today. While emptying my inbox afterwards, I read this piece that was sent to me by a fellow rescuer. Its worth sharing because it explains why we do what we do in a kind and gentle way that all can understand.

ANIMAL RESCUER'S CREED

I'll never bring about world peace
I won't single-handedly save the rain forest
I am not a brain surgeon and I'll never transplant an organ to save a life.
I don't have the ear of a powerful politician or world power
I can't end world hunger.
I am not a celebrity, and God knows I am not glamorous!
I am not looked up to my millions around the world
Very few people even recognize my name.
I'll never win the Nobel prize or end global warming
There are a lot of things that I'll never do or become.

But today I helped place an animal!

It was a small, scared, bundle of flesh and fur that was dumped
at a shelter, or on the streets by unfeeling people who didn't care what happened to it,
but yet who were responsible for it having existence in the first place.

I helped find it a loving home.

It now has contentment and an abundance of love. A warm place to sleep and plenty
to eat. Two little girls have a warm and playful new friend who will give them
unending affection and teach them about responsibility and love.
A wife and mother has a new free spirit to cuddle, nurture and care for.
A husband and father has a furry friend to sit in his lap at the end of a hard day
of work and help him relax and enjoy life.
And a sense of satisfaction, that when he is gone all day at work, that there is a
gentle spirit in his home keeping watch over his family.

No, I am not a rocket scientist. But today, I made a difference!
And I'll do it again tomorrow.
