What Is Rescue? by Mitzi

Imagine you’re a dog in the shelter. Your time is running out. What kind of a dog are you?

Are you the healthy pure breed that knows you’ll get a home? Or are you a little sick and just need time and love to get better? Are you a confused 7 or 8 year old – You’re a good dog, practically baby sat the family’s kids while they grew up; you’re well behaved, but one day, because you were “older” they dropped you here. Are you the mixed breed that no one takes the time to get to know? Or are you shy, you’ve been hurt before and growl because you don’t know who to trust?

There’s someone coming, they look nice. They’re looking this way.

“Ask for me. I’ve got a little eye infection, but after a tube of eye cream I’ll be as good as new.”

“Ask for me. I always mind. I’m house broken. I’m a good dog. I loved my owners for eight years. I can love you for many, many years to come.”

“Ask for me. I’m ‘so ugly I’m cute’. When you walk me and play with me, you’ll get as much attention, maybe more, as if you had a purebred.”

“Ask for me. I have heartworms, but the medicine can cure me. It doesn’t cost much.”

“Ask for me. I’m playful and I’m healthy and I’m smart as can be. I can love you lots and lots if you’ll just notice me.”

“Ask for me. I don’t bite, I’m just scared. All I need is someone kind I know I can trust.”

What is Rescue?

Ask For Me.
