this is why I rescue animals

An email I received from one of the families that adopted one of the pups from the litter I had in march. They would have all been shot. I am so happy they got a chance at life. These kinds of emails make my day.

"Hi there Shanti –

We thought you may be interested in seeing some pictures of one of the puppies you rescued back in March. We adopted one of the males you had, and he has added so much to our family since then! He is the perfect combination of family friend and protector. He has finished two levels of obedience school, and will start his third in January.

Wherever we go people comment on what a beautiful, well-behaved dog we have – and we always say we are grateful to a very compassionate young lady from Windsor Park who gave him a shot at a good life.

Enjoy the photos,

Rob Sherrard and Lori Porter"
