Rescue an animal

The house next door to mine had a fire some time ago. One day while the construction workers were next door working there was a knock on the door. The workers found a nest of three big baby pigeons and asked if we could take care of them. I personally have no idea what the demands of pigeons are so my mom and I drove almost an hour away to the nearest wildlife reservation. They assured us that the babies would be taken care of and I bought a t-shirt to remember the day.

So far I have rescued one dog and 3 cats. My labrador retriever, Sky, was with me for 12 years after I adopted him from the Humane Society. He was scheduled to be euthanized on a Sunday and I discovered him the day before! It was surely divine intervention. He was the light of my life. The unconditional love we shared was nothing less than one of life’s miracles, and the love he shared with children and the elderly was beautiful. He was a beautiful soul.

This is how we obtained our rabbit. It was a “free to a good home” listing in the newspaper. I went to see her where she was very thin and kept in a shed. I immediately took her knowing we were about to enter the winter months and could bear the thought of leaving her in the cold. But this docile creature I first met has now turned into a chunky greedy monster. Her nickname is “Voldemort- the one who shall not be named”. We picture her talking with the voice of Roseanne and she grunts everytime you go near her food bowl. Even though she has ruined some carpeting, I love her and wouldn’t trade her. She’s a hoot!

It’s such an awesome feeling when you can do this!

I’ve had a cat from a rescue centre – she was lovely but got browbeaten by our existing cat and moved out to live next door a few months ago!

Unfortunately she got run over a couple of weeks ago but at least she had a couple of years of good fortune!

I am always rescuing birds and mice that our cat brings in – they all seem to survive!

Someone trapped a chipmunk in a cage! I got it free, and it turned out the landlords mom trapped it?

I treat most of them like people.
I rescued a baby dog from the streets once and she lived with me for a long time after.
I also pissed a lot of people in my life opening cages to let birds escape. If you have a bird in a cage, don’t let me come near… I WILL open the cage and free the poor thing.

There was a massive guinea pig rescue recently and many were going to be put down. I worked for days with a sorority sister and even ended up taking home two of my own. But they’re safe!
