TeamBretMichaels.com Pet Rescue Story: Couple Rescues Sheba Who Helps To Cope With Loss
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.

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.

Our Rescue Story…The Pinky Lee Nine. By Janna and Christine
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.

My sweet angel mom passed away from breast cancer on May 10, 2013. She was 80 years young. We were devastated, sadness lingered our home.

My son is doing an internship at a place called Animal House, which is where dogs and cats are sent from the pound so that they are not put to sleep.

My mom and I went down to Animal House to look at the dogs…
