The FATE of a DOG
This
link
will take you off of our website but it is well worth it. This
scenario is repeated 1,000's of times a day, all over the country,
including right here in our DFW area.
Please consider the fate of this dog .. any dog .. and add this to the
list of good reasons to SPAY & NEUTER your pets. Shelters everywhere
are FULL .. there is no room .. not even for Albert.
So you want your kids to witness the
"Miracle of Birth"
Breeding dogs today is a serious matter. Before going any further, visit
your local pound or animal shelter to see what happens to the dogs that
were produced by people who thought it would be "fun" to have a litter.
"The miracle of death" by euthanasia is just
as educational as the "miracle of birth"! If
you intend to breed your dog, then you should be fully aware of what the
consequences may be.
Please read this
Open Letter ..
then make up your own mind. |
A
Dog Sits Waiting
By Kathy Flood
A dog sits
waiting in the cold autumn sun --
too faithful to leave, too frightened to run.
He's been there for days now
with nothing to do but sit by the road, waiting for you.
He can't
understand why you left him that day;
he thought you and he were stopping to play.
He's sure you'll come back, and that's why he stays --
how long will he suffer? How many more days?
His legs have
grown weak, his throat's parched and dry;
he's sick now from hunger and he falls, with a sigh.
He lays down his head, and he closes his eyes --
I wish you could see how a waiting dog dies!
May anyone
who has ever hauled off, dumped or abandoned a dog read
& remember this.

JUSTICE
The family's dog was bought for a guard.
Chained to a post in a chilly backyard.
Housed in a shed that was airless and dark,
And every few weeks had a run in the park.
When boredom set in with no fun and no work,
One day it broke loose and went quietly berserk.
Pa couldn't fathom just why it went wild,
As it flattened his wife and then bit his child.
The police were called in to sort out the mess,
And the whole sorry tale was revealed by the press.
The rescue society was really annoyed,
So the dog was re-homed and the
OWNERS DESTROYED!

Prayer for the Animals
by Albert Schweitzer
Hear our
humble prayer, O God,
for our friends, the animals.
Especially for animals who are suffering;
for any that are hunted or lost or deserted or
frightened or hungry; for all that must be put to death.
We entreat for them all.
Thy mercy & pity, &
for those who deal with them,
we ask a heart of compassion,
gentle hands & kindly words.
Make us, ourselves, to be true friends to animals, &
so to share the blessings of the merciful.

What will happen to
your Pet
if you DIE
today?
If you suddenly died or became
very ill & could no longer care for your beloved pets, what will happen to
them? Do not assume that Aunt Martha will take Rover because she
likes dogs or that your children will want to care for an aging cat with
various medical problems and an attitude to boot. Many of the
animals that come to us are innocent victims of this very same situation -
a loving home is instantly gone when an unexpected death or illness takes
the guardian out of the picture.
There are several ways you can
provide for the continued care of your beloved pets after you are no
longer able to care for them. By naming a designated Guardian or
Animal Organization to care for them & by providing funds for their
continued care in your Will or in a Trust, you can be assured that they will be
protected & loved. Make sure your pets will not be homeless when you
are gone. Consult your legal advisor or contact the Sanctuary for
help if you wish to name Animal Angels as the Guardian.

PROGRAM

***** Virtual Adoption is a
wonderful way that you can help to ensure that all of the needs of a
disadvantaged or senior pet are met. Even if you are not able to
actually take one of these angels into your home, you can help to provide
for her needs by making a monthly (quarterly, yearly) donation in her/his
name.
Many of our angels will live out their lives here at the
sanctuary - never adopted into private homes due to age, some physical
disability or maybe just because they are big & not very pretty.
We have lots of love to give to them but we would sure appreciate your
help with the $$. More about our
Sponsorship Program can be found
here. Please consider becoming an
Angel Sponsor.
They
depend on us.
Can we depend on you?

An Open Letter ...
Dear Backyard Breeder,
Only 1 out of 10 dogs
will stay with its original buyer for its whole life. 5 out of 10 will
change owners before they're a year old. The remainder of these dogs will
end up in animal shelters, abandoned and unwanted.
If your dog or bitch produces just one litter of
four pups who in turn each produce just one litter themselves and so
forth,
in only 7 years your dog will have 4000 descendants!
Consider how many of the puppies you have sold to
people who didn't spay or neuter and "backyard" bred. Or worse yet,
accidentally had a litter of mixed breeds. Where do you think they
ended up?
The decision NOT to
breed your pet is one of the most intelligent, educated and loving
decisions
you can make.
SPAY / NEUTER
It's the right thing to do |

We all have heard about
The Rainbow Bridge, where all the
beloved pets who go before us wait for us to join them. But
what about all of those animals who pass on without the benefit of ever
having a good home or someone who loved them? What happens to all
of the abused, abandoned & unwanted souls that pass on? There is
another chapter to the story.

Site
Dedication
We
would like to dedicate this web page to all those loving, faithful
friends who have gone before us. We miss their warm, sloppy kisses, and
their cuddly furry hugs. However, we take comfort in knowing that they
await our arrival at the Rainbow Bridge,
just as they faithfully awaited
our return when they were with us on Earth.
Many of their stories are on our
Memorials Page |
