Why We Rescue

Times have changed. Some of us remember when having a pet was simple. Feed them, let them out, play with them, and make an occasional visit to the vet. We weren’t concerned with how much exercise they got, their special diets, or how long they were left alone. In recent years behavioral research has made an enormous contribution to our understanding of animals. We now have an in-depth profile of the animal’s behavior, the dynamics of human-animal interaction, and the special nature of the interspecies bond that has profoundly changed the way people think about and treat animals. This research has paved the way for a more respectful attitude and a deeper relationship with our four-legged friends. Today, pets are considered companions. Cats and dogs have a special place in our lives and in our hearts. Whenever we encounter a lost, abandoned, neglected, or abused cat or dog, we feel it is our civic and humane duty to RESCUE and SAVE that animal. We recognize they are intelligent, sensitive beings that deserve a long, happy life. We make that possible every time we rescue a cat or dog. Knowing that they will be healthy and loved in a permanent home is the best reward.
