Let me give you something to start with before I begin throwing rescue-related posts out there.
You can call me RA, I am a young adult and I have been involved in rescue since I was a kiddo.
I am currently involved in not one, but four rescue-type organizations. The first, National Mill Dog Rescue, takes in dogs saved from puppy mills and gives them all the medical care they need and works to find them a new home. The second, Lucky Dog Rescue, is a rescue that takes on a small number of dogs at a time and focuses on training them in basic obedience, then finding them a new home. Occasionally they will take on more "special needs" or hard to place dogs as well. Rescue organizations three and four deal with transporting animals to their forever homes.
As if that wasn't enough, I also take in rescues of my own, mostly rats and fish.
About my "zoo":
I am owned by eleven rats, one cat, a Betta and an African Dwarf Frog. Every last one of them are rescues. Over the course of this blog I'll be sharing their stories along with many others.
What makes me qualified to write a rescue blog?
- I am very heavily involved in rescue and have been for 10+ years now.
- I was raised by a vet which has given me a view of the rescue world that others may not have.
- I am apprenticing under a master dog trainer (Angie Neal), which has allowed me to not only expand my knowledge but further help the rescued dogs I work with.
- Last but not least, rescue is my life. I grew up around animals and when I learned of the horrible things done to them I knew I had to help.
In this blog I will share:
- Stories of past rescues, I will not sugar coat them.
- Stories of animals I am currently working with to help them find homes.
- Thought provoking posts of my views on various animal and rescue related subjects.
- Feature rescues who are doing a good job.
- Rescue stories and other posts from readers.
- More that I'm sure I am not thinking of right now.
One last note:
Please bear with me if my writing is not the best. I am NVLD Autistic which, among other things, means I have a hard time both getting thoughts out of my head and on to a page; and explaining myself. If you need me to clarify what I have written please ask, I won't be mad.
