"The worst sin toward our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them: that's the essence of inhumanity."
-George Bernard Shaw

Foster Homes Needed! 

Sometimes animals need a little bit of extra TLC before they are ready to move on to their forever homes. It takes very special people to open their homes and hearts, and can be very challenging - but it is very rewarding as well. If you are interested in learning more about providing foster care to a cat, dog, or litter of kittens please contact us for more information.

 

A POEM TO MY FOSTER DOG

BY Diane Morgan

 

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 am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I
can do something. I will not refuse to do the something I can do."
- Helen Keller
