I started this blogging thing a few weeks ago with a fun blog for my dogs. Its more of a silly and goofy spot where I can share stories and photos (being that Im a photographer I take TONS of photos) of the adventures of Grayce and Danger. One day I hijacked their blog to post photos of a few rescue dogs I did petfinder photos for and it gave me the idea to start another blog just to share the stories of my experiences working with rescue.
I hope this blog will inspire people to help in whatever way they can to help. Whether it be adopt instead of buy a dog, spay and neuter a pet, foster for their local rescue, volunteer at your local shelter once a month, transport a dog or just become more aware of why rescue is so important and help to educate others. You may think there is not much you could do- but trust me there is A LOT you can do!
I will probably share a lot of happy ending stories but there will be times I share stories that may not end so happy- but that is the reality of rescue and I want this blog to be true to life- not sugar coated.
I will start this blog off with one of my favorite rescue stories from this past year. As a photographer I get the wonderful experience of meeting so many of our rescues dogs and trying to capture their story in pictures. I have had the privelage of of following Busters story right from the beginning. I got a phone call about a severely deformed puppy in VA that needed our rescues help while I was out with some friends. I will never forget that night bc while I was outside on the phone trying to arrange details for Busters transfer into our rescue someone stole my wallet from my purse! It was all worth it- Buster's story is one with a happy ending that people all over the world donated and helped with. He's a wonderful example of what can be done when a lot of people pitch in and do a small part and in the end accomplish something huge.
This is the story of Buster (get out the tissues).....
Buster is just one of many...
