Dog Rescue

I got involved in dog rescue – when I found out that dogs were be put down via gas chambers, heartstick.  I had moved south for a job offer.  I started out by transporting shelter dogs to rescues.  Arranging transports – from the WV shelters to rescues in Pennsylvania, Maryland.  Then I started fostering dogs – for Rottie Rescue in North Carolina.  My very first dog that I adopted out – was so hard!  I wanted to keep him…but I can only help other dogs – if dogs are adopted.  I am self funded – me – but I get great joy from seeing the happy endings.

Horse Rescue

Once I learned – that horses were being sold – by the pound to kill buyers – then sent in a crowded truck to the Mexican border  – there…they stayed in crowded conditions with minimal food, water – and eventually – sent across the border to be slaughtered – I had to help!

Started out just donating…..but we were having trouble finding rescues for the horses.  So I rescued one…..to keep…and one …to rehome.   My rescue is small…I have to pay for board on my rescue horses -and that adds up very fast.  Horses teach us alot.  Alot of horses that come from the auctions – are not sound to ride – but just precious in temperament.    They take longer to find homes.
