Proverbs 12:10 Animal Rescue

Helping "HIS" Helpless

Proverbs 12:10   King James Version

A wise man regards the life of his beast.
 
Proverbs 12:10 recently helped Cheatham County Animal Control by rescuing about 24 dogs from the many who were surrended by a family.  Here is one of the worse cases who is doing great.  He is enjoying all of the one on one attention he is getting and the wonderful homemade food Lavonne, our director, has been preparing for him. He will be cared for one on one until he is healthy.

Adopt instead of Breeding
 
Proverbs 12:10 Animal Rescue is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization comprised of a group of dedicated animal lovers who feel it is our job to care for God's "helpless" creatures. Our Staff consists of all volunteers.
 
We are dedicated to finding "forever" homes for all our pets and have taken even those "less desirable" pets who need vet care and lots of attention to include those "found or surrendered" pets no one else will! Many times this requires hundreds or even a few thousand dollars in vet bills before they may be adopted to a loving family.
 
Proverbs 12:10 Animal Rescue does not have a facility. Our organization chose to have an adoption day once a week at the Bellevue, TN Petco and keep our pets in Foster Care. Please read more about Fostering on our Foster Page.
 
Animal Rescuer

I AM AN ANIMAL RESCUER
My job is to assist all creatures
I was born with the need to fulfill their needs
I take in new family members without plan or forethought
I have bought dog food with my last dime
I have patted a mangy head with a bare hand
I have hugged someone vicious and afraid
I have fallen in love a thousand times
and I have cried into the fur of a lifeless body

I have "Animal Friends" and "friends who have animals"
I don't often use the word "pet"
I notice those lost at the road side
And my heart aches
I will hand raise a field mouse
And make friends with a vulture
I know of no creature unworthy of my time
 

We may be master of the animals,
But the animals have mastered themselves
Something people still haven't learned
 
War and abuse makes me hurt for the world
But a rescue that makes the news gives me hope for mankind
             

We are a quiet, but determined army
And we are making a difference ever day
  
There is nothing more necessary than warming an orphan
Nothing more rewarding than saving a life
No higher recognition than watching them thrive
There is no greater joy than seeing a puppy play
Who only days ago, was too weak to eat

I am an Animal Rescuer
My work is never done
My home is never quiet
My wallet is always empty
But my heart is always full!

In the game of life, I have already won!

I RESCUED A HUMAN TODAY
Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her. I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn't be afraid.
As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident I had in the back of my cage. I didn't want her to know that I hadn't been walked today. Sometimes the shelter keepers get too busy and I didn't want her to think poorly of them.
As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someone's life.
She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship.
A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well. Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms. I would promise to keep her safe. I would promise to always be by her side. I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes. I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor. So many more are out there who haven't walked the corridors. So many more to be saved. At least I could save one.
I rescued a human today.
