The end of 2011 is quickly approaching and every year at this point, I like to take a moment to reflect on the past year and all that has happened. This past year was filled with many memories good and bad, but more of the former than the latter.
The idea for RRR started with the arrival of Etta in July we have rescued and rehabbed over 50 dogs and pups. Many of these have gone on to new homes, others are still with us waiting for their happily ever after, some will live out the rest of their lives here.
I have learned so much, not only about dogs but also about myself in the time since this started. The journey has at times been hard, frustrating, exhausting and emotionally draining, but every moment has been worth it.
With the new year, we will be changing direction a bit. Heading more toward our original goal of training dogs to be service dogs for those who need them, but we will still take in a limited number of rescues once those here find their happily ever after.Mainly I want to say thank you to all of our wonderful fans and supporters.
First, I want to say thank you to those at PRM and Sasha's Legacy (Anna, Michelle, Jeannean and Rosine) who made it possible for Etta and Wiggles to be a part of our life and who entrusted me with the rehab of Whiskers. Those three dogs inspired us to create RRR and make it what it has become.
Secondly, a very special thank you to Denise and Stacey for all of their help, ideas, input and work to make RRR a success and help us share our stories.
Third, thank you to those in my life who have believed in this crazy journey and who have put up with the countless hours on the road, thousands of dollars spent and the time I have had to take away from my personal life for the dogs.
As we move forward into the new year, I want to assure everyone that in some way, shape or form, we will continue changing lives for the better, one paw at a time.
Thank you!
