Well....what needs to be said again (I have said it before) is that I am not unique. There are many, many foster homes that are doing just what I am doing. You just don't see them! You see me because I am here and posting updates about some of the pups that I have.
Additionally, there are so many people of like mind....just look at all of us. Each of you does have a part of me in you and I have a part of you in me ....we all have the same goal and that is to help the little pups who cannot help themselves. Whether we pray, foster, shop, or donate .... or whatever we do to help them!
Not everyone can foster. It takes so much more. No rescue group can survive to help the pups without the support of people just like all of you. That is why, on the donor page, that YHR says that donors are rescuers...it is so true!
Some people cannot afford to donate....they send emails, they pray....they support in the way that they can! Some of them choose to shop using our links...everyone has to shop at some point. Using our links helps the pups.
So, that is why I find it embarrassing.....I don't want to minimize what I do because yes, I do totally love the pups and have dedicated myself and my retirement to helping them; but I am certainly not the only person doing it!
To me, the most important thing in the scope of all of this letting people see the precious gems that get dumped on a daily basis. Many people think that pups in shelters are damaged goods and that kills me. I have had nothing but rescues as pets and each of them has been/is very, very special. When I take them out and people meet them, they are often shocked to hear that they were rescued.....it is a message that needs to be told over and over and over again....the pups discarded by people who should never have had them in the first place are not damaged....the people who did not appreciate them are.
