Profile Information
- What kind of dog(s) are you looking for?
- Born in Phoenix Arizona, 1941. Raised in Corpus Christi Texas. Got here as quick as I could in 1941 and been here ever since, notwithstanding ventures around the world a few times for various jobs and vacations. I grew up learning what poor was all about and I believe it made me the person I am today. I am a petlover to the core and find myself embedded in the fight for their well being daily. To me, someone who would mistreat a pet is a mentally sick individual. Sharing my food, kindness and resources with pets give me inspiration.

In My Heart Forever
She is my friend. I want her to live forever and it seems that she will; so indomitable is her spirit. When she was a baby, she was very ill. I nursed her along and all the while she had a ready smile and a happy heart. At the age of 1-1/2 years she had an accident that left her pelvis broken in six places. It was suggested that I let her "pass on." However, her love for me and mine for her would not allow it. And after several weeks of tears and hope, pain and prayers, and a trip to the orthopedic vets, she regained the use of her legs. Today you'd never know she was injured. She has a fierce drive to thrive, if for nothing else, to live so she can continue to be at my side, through all the good and bad, the years and circumstances toss at us. Her devotion and loyalty to me are unwavering.
I've learned more about the human condition through my relationship with her, than with any other thing I've ever encountered. Her life force and her heart are like beacons. And the light she radiates unveils the best and the worst attributes of my humanity. She helps me rise above my baser self; enriching my life as I strive to be more like the loving being her spirit exemplifies.
I can’t accept that my eyes may never see her, that my ears may not hear her, that my hands couldn't gently touch her. Or, that my arms couldn’t lift her up so that I can nuzzle her ear and tell her how deeply I love her. I cannot reconcile these things for she is there, in my mind all the time, residing in my heart, warming my spirit, and touching my soul. She is so much a presence within me that surely she will never be absent from my tactile world. Can it be I will never hear her sigh, or hear her breath in sleep? Or look into her eyes, always brimming with love for me? The soft shuffle of her feet at my side as we walk -- gone someday? The bright and happy little girl who loved me beyond any human capacity to do the same. She is my family, companion, and friend.
I want so to see her ever-wagging tail, her brown loving eyes ever waiting for the queue to check out things for my safety…forever.

This is a rescue network...crossposters, transporters, pullers, vets, techs, supporters of all kinds. Invite anyone and everyone that you belive will help. Some people want to donate money. GREAT! We need it. Some people will pray. GREAT...we need them. Bring them in, because this is gonna be the place of all places that will be saving the dogs and people will be touched in the process.
