Inspired

I have been inspired many times in my life.  By people, by places, by things.  But nothing ceases to inspire me the way dogs do.  So I've decided to start a blog....and even if no one reads it, it will help me to express the way I feel about these dogs and the way they make ME feel.  And the way they make me feel makes me want to give back to them....


Dogs share love like no other being in this world.  They don't hold back, they don't worry about being judged, they just want to SHARE love and to BE loved.  So simple and refreshing and amazing.  


I work a full time job.  I have a family, kids, and lots of to-dos.  It's a lot, and it's stressful.  I also volunteer at the local animal control.  I could have volunteered at the Humane Society or many other organizations, where I know the dogs don't get put down, but that's exactly why I DO volunteer at animal control.  Because these dogs are at risk, every day, by people and by 'laws' and 'rules'.  So these are the ones that need help most.  And these are the ones who inspire me....the helpless.  They NEED us, they need me, and YOU.  


If people would open their hearts and be inspired the way I have been, by these dogs, the world (or maybe just our little city) would be a much better place.


Here are a few of my latest inspirations.


this is scrambler.  he went from being too scared to walk 
to being adopted out to a very loving home.  love him!

this is my sweet chester.  i got a call about a pit bull locked in public housing 
and the family had left (moved out).  he had been there for days, all alone.
although he was nothing but a baby for me, my family, and my dog,
he ultimately was put down at animal control.  rip chester.

 ohhh sweet baby krystal.  when i met her at the shelter she was skin and
bones, cowering in a corner.  just a tiny, tiny, baby.  luckily, she
was adopted and recovered from all her trauma!

leroy brown is one of my FAVORITE stories!  when i met this pup he
was so deflated, so dejected, but so open to any love he could get,
he was just pitiful.  luckily, we pulled him from the shelter at the 11th hour
and he too was adopted by an AMAZING family!  this is him now
he couldn't be happier!
