They come from all over.
Blue Lake, Ca.
Waikoloa, Hi.
Malang, Indonesia
Joliet, Fl.
Hillsboro, Ga.
Adelaide, Australia

Bogota, Colombia
Oklahoma City, Ok.
Knoxville, Tn.
Springville, Al.
They come with names that are kept or that are changed to more suit their new surroundings. Their new beginnings.
Some names are: Sox, Abby, Sharona, Baxter, Lucy, Adolfo, Diamond, Daisy, Lily and the list goes on and on.
They come as seniors or feral. They are one-eyed, mangy, deaf, stray, heart worm positive, pregnant, underweight and of three legs. They are survivors of puppy mills and fight rings. They have been physically abused, thrown from cars, spent years in shelters and just plain given up.
Then they were adopted.
To a warm home, a loving caress, a soft bed, fresh water and food served in bowls just for them. Sunny spots for napping, room to run, car rides! Our voices speak to them with all the love that we can possibly contain without bursting. We feel deep respect for their courage and ability to give love as well as receive it, even if so,so warily at first.
Every curve of the Earth holds people who rescue these special animals, from the shelter worker to the actual physical rescue from puppy mills and disaster areas. The foster families, the cage cleaners, those who give hourly feedings. And the adopters. Opening their homes to provide safety and security for those who either never had such things or had them and circumstances removed them from such a place.You let your hearts break wide open for this animal because it is just what you do.
We applaud these diligent and magnificent people, for they are wonderful.
Here in my most beloved Western Massachusetts, our valley abounds with them.
Here is just a sampling of those who were saved.
