“I am involved in animal rescue:

My wallet and gas tank are always on empty,

My house is never quiet or free of fur, nor is my car,

My ‘In Box’ is always full of ongoing despair and misery,

But my heart and soul are constantly being replenished with the

Unconditional love, loyalty, and joy that come from a rescued animal.”

 

Anonymous

 

 

Besides rescuing homeless animals from the mean streets

I always enjoy picking them up, from the animal hospital

In a matter of a few short days, they have been transformed

From their agony and despair, to the joy and wonder of it all

 

They always greet me at the animal hospital with such joyous tail wags

And, most of them soon shower me with endless kisses during the ride

They cannot believe, how their lives have changed, in a few short days

They always know that a grand adventure awaits, as they sit by my side

 

They are always so extremely attentive, as we now journey along together

Delighting in every sight, sound, and smell on their way to their new home

They always seem to instinctively know, that their days of misery, are over

That they will no longer be hungry, homeless, or ever again, so horridly alone

 

Sometimes, I bring them to my own home, where they become part of our pack

Other times, I transport them to a wonderful foster home, filled with other waifs

And sometimes I deliver them to a very kind-hearted person, who is adopting them

When we arrive, the new bond between orphan and adopter, is always so very great

 

The Picture Above is Joyous Jackie,

In My Vehicle, A Few Weeks Ago;

Today, I Will Be Picking Up Sweet Rosie,

Who’d Been Living Like Garbage In The Cold.

 

 

“I am involved in animal rescue:

My wallet and gas tank are always on empty,

My house is never quiet or free of fur, nor is my car,

My ‘In Box’ is always full of ongoing despair and misery,

But my heart and soul are constantly being replenished with the

Unconditional love, loyalty, and joy that come from a rescued animal.”

Keep helping Ed . You reap what you sow!. Bless you for being so helpful and kind. Last Sept , my son took me to the animal shelter and I was able to find and bring home a lttle dog . HE is a wired hair terrier who we named Buddy. His names fits perfectly. He is my constant companion and bestest friend. What a big difference he has made in my life by filling a big void....M

Beautiful Joyous Jackie and Sweet Rosie to have crossed
your path of sweet joy in rescuing beautiful animals.

There is nothing more wonderful than this job...
It gives us some satisfaction knowing we have helped
yet another poor waif that was discarded into the cruelty
of mankind...

This warms my heart, thank you I needed this after the past week..

Love and Light

Mr. Ed,

You are the voice of the animal world. The world needs more like you. I worry about the animals being out in the cold. I have a precious dog and he's always in the house. I'd have it no other way.

Many blessings,
Linda+
