Everybody Loves Puppies!!
However, senior dogs are usually the first to be euthanized at shelters.
The average age of bulldogs in rescue is 5yrs old.
Why not consider adopting a senior?
Take a walk through your local shelter and you will see a sad sight. Row after row of senior pets actually dumped there by their owners. Chances of them getting adopted are very slim. In fact, we have actually witnessed people surrendering their senior pets and then walking out of the same shelter with a newly adopted puppy.
Imagine the sadness and confusion that senior pet goes through. We hope through our rescue program that some of these forgotten souls will find loving homes.
Maybe you are reluctant to adopt a senior dog because you fear that your time with your new best friend will be short, bringing that painful time of loss closer. But the privilege of loving a senior dog makes every single day special, as you and your companion share love, friendship, and a special relationship that grows stronger with the knowledge that you have given this old dog a second chance at life. The love that grows from this knowledge is stronger than the pain of eventual separation.
Your decision to adopt a senior pet will be rewarded with unconditional love and devotion..
To you, from all your rescue dogs...
I would have died that day if not for you.
I would have given up on life if not for your kind eyes.
I would have used my teeth in fear if not for your gentle hands.
I would have left this life believing that all humans don't care.
Believing there is no such thing as fur that isn't matted, skin that isn't flea bitten, good food and enough of it, beds to sleep on, someone to love me, to show me I deserve love just because I exist.
Your kind eyes, your loving smile, your gentle hands, your big heart saved me. You saved me from the terror of the pound, soothing away the memories of my old life.
You have taught me what it means to be loved.
I have seen you do the same for other dogs like me.
I have heard you ask yourself in times of despair, why you do it when there is no more money, no more room, no more homes.
You open your heart a little bigger, stretch the money a little tighter Make just a little more room...to save one more like me.
I tell you with the gratitude and love that shines in my eyes, in the best way I know how, reminding you why you go on trying.
I am the reason, the dogs before me are the reason, as are the ones who come after.
Our lives would have been wasted, our love never given, we would die if not for you.
