Rescue Angels
On my quest to find another dog for our family, I’ve met the most AMAZING people. Rescue Angels, I’m calling you. You work so hard to save an endless number of animals, and your courage and faith amaze me. What surprises me the most is how many of you there are!
From Jean’s sister, who helps in the Tracy, CA area ( Animal Rescue in Tracy) to Laila who put me in contact with the people at Animal Compassion Team in Fresno, CA, I am in awe of the network of people who help homeless animals. I learned of a group who help get shelter animals adopted by posting Instagram pictures. I found out that the Fresno area has so many small dogs, they work with other rescues and fly them to parts of the country where small dogs are scarce. The things you all do to help are wonderful.
It was when I came upon the Toy Fox Terrier Rescue on Facebook that I found the dog for us. When I saw her, I knew I had to have her. Her name is Milkshake and she joined our family last week. She’s made herself right at home and captured all of our hearts.
Thanks to Leslie and Patty from the rescue, and Carol who fostered Milkshake with such love, I know we’ve made the right match. She’s just so sweet!
She spends the day in the studio, right along with Chelsea.
And at night while we watch TV, she cuddles in the pillows.
She turned 11 at the end of September and she’s getting a little gray, but I happen to love the color.
She’s a rescue dog who has a new home. We love her like she’s been here forever!
A thank you goes out to each and every one of you who help these animals find new homes. Thank you to those who foster, those who transport, and those who work to coordinate. Without you there wouldn’t be cuddles on the couch, or happy endings.
Hugs,
Anne

Awww……she does have the sweetest little face and I adore those ears! Thank you for letting her adopt her. We’ve shared our home with 4 dogs and 3 cats over the last 48 years and every one of them cam from a shelter to adopt us.

Oh I am so happy for you and Milkshake. I love that you had the heart and courage to take an older dog. We lose them faster but there is a good feeling when you can give an older dog a wonderful love rest of life. Mine were from almost 8 years in a puppy mill. It’s a long road but what joy it is to see them, oh so slowly, learn to trust again. My hubby and I always say we will go to the grave with so many holes in our hearts from lost loved ones, but that’s ok, it’s a good thing to end up with a swiss cheese heart. That just means it was used up and used well.
Pet’s Milkshake, I’m happy for you!

I’m so happy that you were able to get your perfect dog so quickly. You are correct in that the rescue people are angels. The stories I could tell you about what my sister does would melt your heart and that’s just the tip of the iceberg of all the rescuers all over the country! I’m looking forward to lots of pictures!!!
