Please consider it a privilege to post in the Rescue Section to help these innocent, living creatures. If the rescue forum turns into something else for any members, we can disable access for you (at your request or at our discretion) so that the work to help animals can continue peacefully. THANK YOU.
| There have been so many wonderful stories posted in the Rescue Forum over the past few years that I have been a member of YT. May Yorkies have been saved by rescues all over the country by a group effort of YTers. Everyone is always welcome to join in and help find a solution for a good outcome for some of the saddest stories that turned into happy endings. It is always heartwarming when you see a thread take off with that passion of trying to save "just one more". Even if we cannot save them all "just one more" help to make it to the next day for many of us~knowing there is another little one that found its way into a safe haven.
I believe THAT is what the rescue forum should be about. My Bogey came from the RF and I will be forever greetful to JackandJill for posting his cute little face. He will forever know what love is. Truman was also posted in the RF and came to live with me until his final days. His story played out on YT as well. Teagan was also in the RF posted by a breeder looking to sell him "as is". He went to YTNR and is now a beautiful little man that is able to WALK again. His story generated HUGE interest on YT~many member of YT donated to the rescue that helped make him whole again.
I guess the point that I am trying to make is that IMO the RF not only saves pups but it is also bringing awareness of WHAT rescue is and should be. It's not a place to fight and squabble about how many posts that someone makes and if you are in a rescue posting stories about a dog that was saved. That is just craziness~if a little ones story brings even a little awareness to the members of YT what rescue is all about them why argue? If we can let someone know that a pup or "rescue" is not legitaimate and open someone's eye about how slimy some breeders~isn't that what we all are trying to achieve~better knowledge to safe pups?
I do think it is a privledge to post in the RF and do not plan on losing that priveldge any time soon. I always use care in my posts as I do not want to ever unintentionally push a post for a pup down that needs our help. It's not a game that I want to partake in now or ever. :(
If ever I posted something that distracted from the urgent needs of a pup in need I would hope that some type of repricussions would be in place. This needs to be very clearly outlined so there are NO MISUNDERSTANDING when that line is crossed. I think this is an excellent idea as I believe that it takes dedication and love of God's creatures to be a volunteer for a rescue. There is a LOT of good going on in the Rescue Forum and a lot of wonderful dogs have been saved. I for one am PROUD to be part of this effort. |
