some happy stories
i volunteer at a rescue, and while there are sad stories, i like to focus on the happy ones. i also like to tell these, since it educates and encourages adoptions.
-we rescued coral, a pitbull mix, a few months ago from the pound. she was up for euthinasia, but the staff at the pound called us, begging us to take in coral in our program. coral is about the sweetest dog ever, and when they had her up, ready to be euthinized, she put both her covered her face with both of her paws. the s

Anci Lampe said… - Hello Many!
Read your comments about people who have animals and cant afford veterinary care. And felt I had to write to you and say: Keep it up! I go mad with this people. Me myself have not much money. But my pets are insured (its that the word?) and before I get an animal I calculate what I can afford if this or that happens in the future. When I was VERY poor, I had a couple of friends who told me they would pay for veterinary care, if I could not afford it. Otherwise I would not have bought the horses. (It was a short period when money was a huge problem) It is no use to take an animal to help it, if you not can give it what it needs. You always have to think what will happen if you loose your job or get sick. And prepare for that. If you cant, you cant take an animal.
It is hard, but that how it is.
I admire you for telling people this.

Linda W said… - Sorry Mandy:
Thought you were annoyed about my NOT accepting your position about people NOT having animals if they are not financially prepared to care for them PROPERLY and my disagreement that your version of PROPERLY can be affected by circumstances they simply may not have imagined. I also could of sworn it was in comments to Nikki which it ISN'T! SO maybe my DRUGS are even better then I thought they were.
Many very committed animal protectors are finding themselves out of work/in foreclosure and frankly 'under the gun' as we speak and they are eating lesser quality food themselves, and unable to afford medical help for themselves...so it stands they are BY NECESSITY subjecting their animals to the same. Not by choice but by dire necessity..maybe the comment was to Renee' and not nikki.... I just felt bad that you thought I was just taking the opposite pole out of lack of respect for your position..which I am NOT. That is why I quoted my reply to you that diverse positions here on this board serve the purpose of helping the confused, uninformed or even the just plain ignorant of enough information to deal with the particular issue they are currently dealing with. It is important and your opinion is as/or more valuable as anyone's.

- mandy:
I was very sorry to see your comment to Nikki regarding my negativity regarding your preference to see people NOT adopt animals that they have no future guarantees they will be able to provide idealistic food/medical/shelter conditions for, in case of unexpected circumstances.
Once again, I sincerely did NOT believe I was putting your input down nor condemning your right to express your opinion. OR for that matter..even demeaning your rationalization.
Some how I must phrase/make statements that are misinterpreted by an answering poster as I have seen this happen before but it is usually because they have not taken the time to read my entire contribution.
My post closed with the following comment, publicly for all to see:
QUOTE:
I try to not add any more guilt, pain or remorse to those whose only crime is caring beyond their capacity to provide the necessities when tragedy occurs....BUT you are also right there are those who take it too far. Hoarders for example. The elderly, I must admit I am MORE forgiving of (Obviously at 69...I ARE ONE) and the pre/teen and young adults are often very idealistic and also don't always think or plan for times changing.
Thank you the clarification of your position. We NEED all of our opinions on this board in order for the users to glean the best advice for their personal situation and I for one, welcome another rescuer with open heart and mind. UNQUOTE
Your comment reveals that you may not feel my comment was genuine and I am sorry that is the case, because although your opinion did NOT change my commitment, it did convince me of the integrity of your beliefs. Linda W

I understand YOUR personal position but also you need to realize old sage sayings don't hang around long enough to become 'old sage sayings' if they don't hold a grain of truth..
Like: Tis better to have loved and lost, then Never to have loved at all!
AND that is the basis of people who take or have animals knowing they have no financial means to provide for the extraordinary..the same way low income people often have too many children to make sense ... It is sad but it is human and their pain, fear and frustration is no less valid then is yours or mine....and I too am a life long Rescuer. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO BE and should I absolutely have no other recourse for a seriously ill animal..in the end, I would opt for humane euthanasia rather then to have left that animals..days/weeks/months or years ago without my love care and shelter..'and like marriage...Until death do us part!
My elderly sister-in-law once said to me, while her brother (my husband)was dying painfully BUT socially acceptably..."We are often times kinder to our animals then we are to our LOVED ONES and It Is True......

You're still here Liddy? I thought you were banned??
You're incredibly boring. Your threats and foul language are simply no longer entertaining. You should be quite proud of yourself.
I'm sure it wouldn't be the first time you've been wrong about something.
i totally agree that all dogs, whatever the breed, should be on a leash. i had a german shepard for 13 years and he was a gentle giant and very well trained. i had a pure pitbull for 10 years and she also was a gentle, sweet dog. i now have a pitbul…
