Rescuing animals has definately got its rewarding side. However it is also often a heartwrenching task.
Some of the rescues and rehomings we have been a part of will be ever etched in my mind.
Angel was a loved dog. She was bred by a greedy Michigan woman who pretends to care what happens to her animals but doesn't.
Her owner fell ill in her 60's and Angel was a bit too much to handle. Fortunately she loved her enough to wait out the perfect home.
I transported Angel to her new human in NC. , but the transition from her first home was far more emotional then I could stand. I have never felt so sorry for anyone before in a rescue situation.
Angel's human was bringing me to tears as we drove off.
The happy ending is, she loves her new home, has a male pal all day, and is no longer tethered outside by herself.
Both her humans keep in touch. Life is sweet.

Another tragedy caused by the economy, a horse farm foreclosure leaves 3 low content Wolf Dogs abandoned. Ohio based rescuer "Mallory" who lives a good distance away, spend the next 6 months commuting and taking care of them daily. Through brutal cold, her dedication to the 3 Amigos ended in late April 09 when a home came up for all 3 to stay together. This story too will bring a tear to a glass eye.
Adopter Joe works a solid week to prepare for the arrival. 1000 miles in a day we drive to Ohio and back.
These 3 dogs were bred by CHAPPARAL Kennels, the number 1 contributor of abandoned and abused purported Wolfdogs. In summer 2009, so far 11 animals from this breeder have come into rescue.

Logan was found running the streets of Logan County Ohio. He wasn't difficult to catch as he loves people.
He is one of a few happy ever after rescues. Logan was picked up at the shelter by our Ohio liason Lisa Wolf, who evaluated him, had him neutered and vetted thoroughly. His personality was that of a clown who loved to be dressed up in clothes. Logan is now at GENTLE JUNGLE in California taking Drama and we hope to see him soon on the big screen.
