Welcome

Grab a cup of coffee and stop by each day to read our stories of love, hope, inspiration and education. Just maybe you'll shed a tear or find yourself laughing. We do what we do because every animal deserves a place to call home.

Food for Thought...

This was written by a woman about fostering shelter dogs...really put things into perspective for me.

Where my dogs came from isn't as important as where they are going. With rescues, sometimes we know. Often we don't.

Every dog was once a puppy. Any number of things could be factors in getting them to where they were the day before they came here but those were yesterday. Now we concentrate on today with an eye towards tomorrow.

We're not going to repeat history because WE don't have a history. Yet. Eventually our todays will combine and we will have a history but it will be OUR history. Our history will provide a predictability that we can build upon. A trust.

What happened when a dog was 6 weeks old, 8 months old, or 2 years old impacted him - has an affect on who is standing before me, but what's important is where we go from here.
