I promise I will take your unwanted animals. I will heal their wounds, their diseases, their broken bones. I will give them the medical attention they need and deserve. I will nurture their starvation, and give them a warm place to sleep. I will spay and neuter them vaccinate them against the diseases that can harm them. I will treat them and honor them. I will buy them toys, blankets, balls, and teach them to play.
I will speak softly to them. I will try to teach them not to fear, not to cry, not to fear, and not to hate. I will whisper sweet, kind, gentle words into their ears, while gently trying to stroke their fear, their pain, and their scars away. I will face their emotional scars and give them time to overcome them. I will socialize them, potty train them, teach them to be obedient, show them dignity, and hold their paws, and stroke their ears if they have endured too much and walk them over the Rainbow Bridge, but most of all I will teach them Love.
"Baggage"
By Evelyn Colbath
Now that I’m home.
Bathed, settled & fed,
all nicely
tucked in my warm new bed,
I’d like to open
my baggage lest I forget.
There is so much
to carry-So much to regret.
Hmm. Yes
there it is, right on the top.
Let’s unpack
Loneliness, Heartache and Loss,
and there
by my leash hides Fear and Shame.
As I look
on these things I tried so hard to leave
I
still have to unpack my baggage called Pain,
I loved them, the others, the ones who left
me,
But I wasn’t good enough-for they
didn’t want me.
Will you add to my baggage?
Will you help me unpack?
Or will you just
look at my things-And take me right back?
Do you have the time to help me unpack?
To put away my baggage, to never repack?
I pray that you do-I’m so tired you see,
but I do come with baggage-Will you still want
me?

Recently our Rescue Organization was left a bequest from the
estate of the late Mr. Albert Contento in loving memory of his mother Mae
Kraemer Contento, his Aunt Augusta Enders & also Albert Contento. They were
all devoted lifelong friends of animals & we & all our four footed
second hand babes thank them so much & know they are now reunited with the
animals they loved
God Bless you for making it
possible for us to do even more for the animals
