I started rescue one day when I passed by a convenient store that was closed for the night and saw several litters of kittens searching for food. I spent the next month trying to catch these wild kittens, getting them healthy, socializing them and finally, finding them all new homes. Last check to make sure I didn’t miss a kitten, I found another litter….so I had to repeat the process. Then I noticed how quickly the feral cats kept reproducing….
Being a volunteer at Last Hope I am proud to say we have rescued Homer! Homer is estimated to have been born 4/30/14 and was found in July severely bruised all over his body from apparent abuse. He survived a horrible infection of Cellulitis from puncture wounds. Now he is recovering from a 2 hour long surgery he underwent 10/9/14. He was neutered and had one of his bad eyes removed that ruptured, but it was decided during surgery that…
2 years ago I rescued I adopted a puppy from the humane society named Max. A few years later, long story short I got divorced and moved out of the home leaving max behind because I didn’t want to take him out of the only home he has ever known. Fast forward to last year, Max who is now 11 was the only one home when the house caught fire and his Dad was in hospital after falling off a…
My fiance was in the middle of our street talking with neighbors when a tiny kitten of about 8 weeks walked up to them and started crying. They all bent down and petted her, but when it came time for the group to break up, she followed him home. When he let her in to show her to me we noticed she was blind in one eye and had worms very badly. The next day we took her to the…
This year marks the 6th year we have had our furbaby Jasmine. I thank God for her everyday. In 2009, my husband and I were going through a rough time and weren’t really communicating much. It was our anniversary,and a friend who knew we wanted an animal found out through a mutual friend that someone had a dog they didn’t want anymore. Jasmine has helped us not only communicate better with each other, but she saved my life and my…
We’ve shared the posts and photos of Bret’s many rescue stories, but we have a few of our own. Over the years we’ve rescued some cats and dogs, too. Stray dogs, and a few cats, are an issue in many parts of the country, but especially in the semi-rural area that we live in. We live on one of those roads that makes it easy to leave a dog and hope that someone takes it in. It seems that we…
Anyone who has ever loved and lost a pet knows how difficult it is to let go. Last August I lost my Siamese kitty Versace. It broke my heart when she suddenly passed away. It took a few months, but I decided it was time to get a new kitty this year. I was open to adopting an adult cat, or kitten. I kept my search open for a few weeks, checking the various websites daily. Then in March, I…
