Our Mission
Statement
On the day my very
best friend Chip left for Rainbow Bridge, I made him a promise to
always look after (and seek out) any dog or dogs in need. I also
made a promise to help in any way I can. That's what sites like
this are really all about!!!
Here is a poem I recently found. It pretty much explains the
commitment we should ALL have toward our beloved Pets and how they
should feel under our care.
Please feel free to Share it with others, Often!!!
Here
in this House....
Here
in this House....
I will never know the loneliness I hear in the barks of the other
dogs 'out there'.
I can sleep soundly, assured that when I wake my world will not
have changed.
I will never know hunger, or the fear of not knowing if I'll eat.
I will not shiver in the cold, or grow weary from the heat.
I will feel the sun's warmth, the coolness of a summer shower, and
be allowed to smell all that can reach my nose.
My fur will shine, and never be dirty or matted.
Here in this house...
There will be an effort to communicate with me on my level.
I will be talked to and, even if I don't understand, I can enjoy
the warmth of the words.
I will be given a name so that I may know who I am among many.
My name will be used in joy, and I will always love the sound of
hearing it!
Here in this house...
I will never be a substitute for anything I am not.
I will never be used to improve peoples' images of themselves.
I will be loved because I am who I am, not someone's idea of who I
should be.
I will never suffer for someone's anger, impatience, or stupidity.
I will be taught all the things I need to know to be loved by all.
If I do not learn my lessons well, they will look to my teacher
for blame.
Here in this house...
I can trust the arms that hold and the hands that touch ...
knowing that, no matter what they do, they do it for the good of
me.
If I am ill, I am doctored.
If scared, I am comforted.
If sad, I will be cheered.
No matter what I look like, I will be considered beautiful and
thought to be of great value.
I will never be cast out because I am too old, too ill, too
unruly, or not cute enough.
My life is treated as a responsibility, and not an afterthought.
I will learn that humans can almost, sometimes, be as kind and as
fair as dogs.
Here in this house...
I belong, I am Family, I am home.
