I am Rescue

I am Rescue

I pick up your castoffs and hold them in my arms;

I unhook with your permission your castoffs from their chains and abandonment;

I take your castoffs to be medically treated, altered and brought back to health;

I remind your castoffs of what commands they once knew or teach them what they should know;

I gently wash away the stench and smell and dirt accumulated on your castoffs and kiss them gently;

I foster your castoffs and try not to fall too far in love with them so that I can let go when that forever home is found;

I wipe away my own tears when the day comes that your castoff

leaves me to go live a forever life in a loving environment; and

... sometimes I hold that regal dignified furry head of your

castoff while he makes the final trip to the Bridge and tell him

that he is loved at this moment more than he has ever been

loved before. ...

 

I am RESCUE.
