I am extremely sorry for the loss of Mikey. He would have never known love and affection if it weren’t for the caring rescue (SFF~ Carolyne), and the other loving hands who took care of him. He touched all of our hearts, and will Never be forgotten~

That is nice thing. Everyone should understand animals feelings. People should take care of animals or they should stop to cruelty upon animals. You are done great job.

Comment on Your First Step In Choosing a New Veterinarian by Cooper Helo

I add to the above by saying…if the Vet shows no interest in your dog/cat, other than clinically treating the problem…walk away..

If he/she shows no compassion when treating your dog/cat, is rough handling them….walk away and go someone else….this has recently happened to me when we moved to this area…we no longer go to that person…

Comment on Shelter animals sold to research labs~ Is your local shelter allowing this? by Jenny Smith

I cannot believe that horrific animal testing still goes on in our so-called civilized country. This is so barbaric, and there are much better alternatives with our advanced technology. I’ve read many times that animal research actually HINDERS our advances in science because animals are not made up the same way people are. And for cosmetic companies to continue testing on animals is completely immoral and unethcial. They do this all in the name of potential lawsuits! We have enough cosmetics; we don’t need any new or improved items. I don’t understand while these animal researchers can’t just put themselves in the animals’ position and realize (and care) that animals feel physical pain, as well as fear, confusion, loneliness, sense of abandonment—just like humans do. And for states to mandate that dogs and cats who aren’t adopted from shelters be sold for animal research is difficult for me to comprehend. It is WRONG!!!

Comment on Update On Mikey by Andrea Counts

I’m super excited and grateful to say that I’m Mikey’s new mom. We’ve had him for about a month now and things couldn’t be better. I’ve never met a dog who is so happy, sweet and loving all the time. There’s no such thing as being in a bad mood when Mikey is around. Everyone who meets him falls in love with him in about 2 seconds. He has given me a new lease on life. I’m so grateful to SFF and all of the volunteers that made Mikey’s new life with us possible. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very well written–all rescues/shelters try to take in what they can, but once you get deeper into rescue, you learn of the horrors of abuse, gas chambers and heartsticks. These items are not fun to watch on Utube and most people do not realize that this is what could happen to the family pet that is not wanted anymore. Not all animals are offered a dignified death when you (a former pet owner) release them.

To those releasing animals, everyone is suffering through hard times and I personally don’t have a lot to offer, but I still foster on top of my own! Yes, it is personally hard, but is there something else that you could give up to ensure the animal has food?

To Saving Furry Friends: Thank you for what you personally do to add to people’s happiness of finding the “purr-fect” pet. For those on the outside of rescue, it is very sad for animals to be handed over to a shelter/volunteer rescue. This animal suffers because it doesn’t understand why you are releasing it from what was once a loving, safe home. We cannot take your place; we offer love and support but that animal has a scar on its heart, just like a human would. If you ever contemplate removing your animal from your home, please contemplate another item you could give up before asking a rescue/shelter to take it in. Or, if it truly comes down to where you cannot, please consider donating, even if it is just your time to help aid in the adoption of animals.

Very well said and written!
Thank you so much for the work you do! It is a wonderful thing you are doing and more people should do things to try and help animals. Donating even just a few dollars, a blanket, dog bed. Even the smallest of things would help.
It is a lot of stress and frustration when you are trying to help so many animals. Especially if you don’t feel appreciated. Most all rescues are stretched to the max, but they keep trudging forward. And thank God for people like that and like you.

Thank you for helping the shelter dogs… I would hope that people understand this. It amazes me that people think shelter/rescues get things for free (shots, boarding, spays and neuters)… or complain about the adoption donation. If one dog comes in and needs to be up to date on everything, then feeding, and the time you spend on that one dog it costs more than the adoption fee. Never mind if it has a broken leg, abscess, etc. All these people see is a healthy dog…not the condition it was in when it got to the rescue.

All I have to say is keep up the good work and to all random people out there SPAY/NEUTER/ADOPT/DONATE!!!!!!!
