My two Maine Coons approve :) I just love your work! xo Shazam Hi Colette,

Reading this (and drawing the ‘Wealth’ card with your oracle app!) inspired me to finally sign up to be a regular donor to the local animal hospital/shelter where I live. My two Maine Coons approve :)

I just love your work!

I rescue one or 2 at a time from the shelter.Usually the next to be put down.My most recent rescue was a very large bull mastiff/great dane mix. he was not very response to people and they had a do not handle on his cage.I had seen him on a Wednesday,and they said he had till the weekend....I went back on Sat.he was gone,cage was empty.The girl ran to the back and found Cosmo in the care room,shot on the counter and the guy slipping his gloves to administer the deadly shot.Cosmo is truly a rescue dog. he had less than a minute to spare.If I had gotten one more red light or even a phone call.it would have been to late. I never did get to officially meet this dog face to face until I picked him up at the vet the next day.He was 100 lbs and very underweight.I was very unsure whether or not I did the right thing.He couldn't come inside,I was getting scratched up because he didn't realized he was very large. Long story short he was here for a month and we became great friends he is a big cuddle bug that loves people and attention. When I looked into his eyes for the first time I seen the most thankful and loving gentle spirit.he was sooo happy to be alive.He now has a great home with a great family on a ranch not far from me.They paid 35 dollars for him because that is what it cost to rescue him from the shelter.and he was fixed and got all his shots too.The family has call twice to thank me for bringing them together. I'am currently waiting to see if the shelter is going to use donations given to the shelter to pay for a little dog to have his puntured eye removed so I can adopt him and find him a home.Thank you Collette for the push in the right direction.

I too love animals and am deeply saddened by the many animals waiting in shelters for a loving home. They depend on us so much. They have so much love to give. Some animals spend their lifetimes in cages at shelters. That is so heartbreaking to me. This article inspired me to donate money to an animal shelter. I have also adopted two cats from animal services. These cats are so sweet and affectionate that words can't describe it. How can I feel lonely with a cat on my lap hugging me with her front "arms"? Maybe that sounds wacky but they can hug! Animals are such blessings. What an eloquent and moving article.
