Our Rescues Our Lives

What makes a pet worth saving? What makes an animal worth saving? What makes a life worth saving? What makes any life worth saving? What determines a creatures worth? Human or animal; who decides our worth? Who are we to determine another creatures worth? Who are we to sit and stand idle, while lives need saving?

Save, save, save

God put us here for reasons we may never know. We can however be as kind and loving as he would expect us to be. We can help those who cannot speak or help themselves to obtain a happier and better life. We are here to protect and serve; whether it is in society’s careers or volunteering to help those less fortunate than ourselves. We are here to save the forest, to save the land, to save the animals, to save the earth, and in the end to save ourselves and humanity. Our purpose here is forever changing, but our needs are constant, and do not change.

We always need to save ourselves, but who determines our worth? Saving is what we do and is always in constant motion. Prioritize and help all those in need, help those who may need it the most and always move forward. Moving forward and continuing to pay it forward, may not change the world. But for that person or animal, you changed their world. One by one we can change the worlds of those who need us to speak out against crimes against people, animals and humanity.

For all our known and unknown deeds we will be rewarded appropriately and God will bless us with more chances to help save those who need it the most, this proving our actual worth to Him and share our humanity with others. Why are we here, if not to help each other survive and live on helping others every day?

All we need to do is to watch the news and witness the evils that plague our countries. Children murdering other children for no real reason at all other than to see what it would feel like. They torture animals or even other children that are simply unlucky enough to be smaller, weaker, and crossed their path on a day that they were simply bored, seeking sick entertainment. Being bored, really? Being bored is not a reason to TORTURE anyone or anything! Blaming it on society; if that is the reason, then society needs to step up and make a change.

Society needs first to show these children that these behaviors will NOT be tolerated and they will be punished (not with a slap on the wrist). Secondly we need to show then; yes get out there and practice what we are preaching. Go save an animal or feed the hungry, show our children that we mean what we say and action is the only way for them to know that we do mean business. Third, stop being a jackass about other parents trying to help you raise or even just to educate you on things that did or did not work for them. This is called ADVICE use it or don’t but it usually comes with the expertise of someone who has been through it. We all know that teenagers are the smartest of us all and listen to no one. However, if we SHOW then through ACTION we might break through and they may actually hear us, listen to us, and absorb the information and they may even take action of their own.

When I save my first rescued dog, it was her sad lose of hope that shot out of her eyes and into my head and broke my heart. It took years for her to trust us, but it was worth it. In return she loves me, protects me and makes me smile every day. http://bethevoice4thevoiceless.blogspot.com/2014/11/ritta.html

The second one was not a real rescue, but we saved her from being sold to just anyone who had the money.

The third was a dog that might have been fostered forever simply because he was a dark haired pit-bull mix. He was also born into the dog fighting world with little chance of ever being a normal dog; he started off with two strikes against him. I am here to tell you that he IS a Great DOG and I am glad that we were BLESSED to be able to adopt him! http://bethevoice4thevoiceless.blogspot.com/2014/07/jack-jack-aka-willie-wonka-rescue.html & http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/26/dog-fighting-recovery_n_5717823.html?1409087278

The fourth rescue (the saddest of all) a kitten left in a box, only weeks old and no way to help itself, we found and named “Lucky.” Lucky learned that some people could be nice, because my daughter saved him that night. We were heart broke to discover that the vet could not save him, after three days with us he died happy and pain free. http://bethevoice4thevoiceless.blogspot.com/2014/07/kitten-in-box.html

The fifth rescue was an old cat that just needed to be adopted, she is always hiding and just recently allows us to pet and love on her (then goes back to hiding under the bed).

The sixth rescue was a kitten about 5 months old that was left in a material pet carrier on the sidewalk of an extremely busy intersection, again my daughter saved his life and he is lucky Louie.

Not every dog or cat will have an insane story that makes the news or makes it to an FBI agent’s desk, but to each and every one of them have a story that defines their behavior. Given the chance we can make them all have happy endings.

My home is full, but if we save any more lives we will have to turn to the local shelters to take them in. But we will continue to save, because we know and believe that God gave us these chances to show that we are good and deserve the life that he has given to us. To the waste of a life that hurt and abandoned these helpless animals, karma is your enemy and God will serve you something SPECIAL.

A life is a life and my humanity decides that it is worth my time and effort to help and save another life. My heart says that we need to help anyone being that is in need and we all deserve a chance to live a happy life. God created us and He created all the creatures around us. They deserve to be noticed and given a chance at living a life. Love, help, and live always knowing that even saving one little animal could end up saving yourself and us all.
