This was written by Shannon who recues many of the dogs our rescue receives from Alabama shelters. I think it really captures what us foster families feel..................
I am the bridge, between what was and what can be. I am the pathway to a new life. I am made of mush, because my heart melted when I saw you, matted and sore, limping, depressed, lonely, unwanted, afraid to love. For one little time you are mine. I will feed you with my own hand. I will love you with my whole heart. I will make you whole. I am made of steel. Because when the time comes, when you are well, and sleek, when your eyes shine, and your tail wags with joy, then comes the hard part. I will let you go, not without a tear, but without a regret. For you are safe forever--A new dog needs me now.
I would just like to add.......you are on your way now to your forever family and a wonderful new life.
About Me
- Cricket
- I'm Cricket. I am a rescue dog from a shelter in Alabama that found my own family in 2008. I was adopted from Fluffy Dog Rescue, Hartland, WI. With this blog, my family hopes to share information about the foster dogs that we care for while they are waiting for a family of their own. The pups are found on petfinder.com, Hartland, WI.....My mom loves taking pictures and meets all the transports to take new photos of the incoming dogs. She upkeeps several blogs for other foster parents helping their dogs find homes too.
