"A PLEA FOR ANIMAL RESCUE"

 HEY GUYS! 🐾

HERE IS A COMMENTARY FROM MY MOM!

I FREQUENTLY LOOK AT THE FACEBOOK PAGES OF VARIOUS SHELTERS, LOCAL AND OUT OF STATE. RECENTLY, I READ A POST ON THE FACEBOOK PAGE OF "FRIENDS OF NORTHERN OCEAN COUNTY ANIMAL FACILTY" WRITTEN BY "TRINA & FRIENDS K-9 RESCUE", ENTITLED:  "HEATBREAKING REALITIES OF 2023: A PLEA FOR ANIMAL RESCUE".

THE POST IS AN INSIGHTFUL LOOK INTO THE WORLD OF ANIMAL RESCUE AND THE CRISIS THAT HAS BEEN BUILDING OVER THIS PAST YEAR. IT TELLS OF THEIR CHALLENGES AND FRUSTRATIONS IN LOSING COUNTLESS INNOCENT LIVES. THIS IS DUE IN PART TO THE LACK OF EDUCATION REGARDING RESPONSIBLE PET OWNERSHIP, ALONG WITH HUMAN INDIFFERENCE. THEIR BATTLE IS ONGOING TO SAVE THOSE THAT CANNOT SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. THEY NOTE, “THE WALLS OF SHELTERS OVERFLOW WITH ABANDONED SOULS, THEIR PLEADING EYES SILENTLY BEGGING FOR A SECOND CHANCE". 

ALL TOO OFTEN I SEE PICTURES OF DOGS IN DIFFERENT SHELTERS THAT ARE POSTED AS "TIMESTAMPED:" OR GIVEN A "EUTH COMMAND". THESE DOGS ARE ON DEATH ROW FREQUENTLY DUE TO LACK OF SPACE, OR MEDICAL ISSUES, OR BEHAVIORAL ISSUES. I LOOK AT THEIR PICTURES AND I SEE HOPE IN THEIR EYES WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO COME FOR THEM. SADLY, ALL TO OFTEN NO ONE COMES AND THEIR LIVES ARE LOST. THIS IS TRULY HEARTBEAKING.

SO, PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT AND GO TO “FRIENDS OF NORTHERN OCEAN COUNTY ANIMAL FACILITY’S” FACEBOOK PAGE AND READ THE POST BY “TRINA & FRIENDS K-9 RESCUE”. IT MAY TUG AT YOUR HEARTSTRINGS AND FILL YOU WITH A SENSE OF EMPATHY, AS IT DID WITH ME. I BELIEVE THERE ARE MANY UNSUNG HEROES IN ANIMAL RESCUE THAT DESERVE OUR GRATITUDE. HOPEFULLY, WHEN YOU READ THEIR POST, YOU WILL BE INSPIRED TO UNITE AND SUPPORT OUR RESCUES AND SHELTERS BY VOLUNTEERING, ADOPTING, OR FOSTERING.  BUT MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL, PLEASE SHARE THEIR MESSAGES ACROSS SOCIAL MEDIA TO BRING ATTENTION TO THOSE ANIMALS IN DESPARATE NEED!  REMEMBER, "IT TAKES A VILLAGE"!!

 THANK YOU!

CHEWY MAN'S MOM 🐶
