Lady formerly Soldadera just dropping by to say Rescue sure looks good on me Don't you agree?
I went from being stabbed multiple times and dumped in the New York animal care and controls lobby to the emergency vet to be stabilized then transferred to another vet where I was treated and remained till I could heal some, walk and get around fairly well. Then off to my foster home for some recuperation time, and that's when my mommy saw me and applied to adopt me...and we all lived happily ever after as the story book endings go!! I was one of the lucky ones:) thank you PMAR foster momma Alison and my mommy for loving me and caring for me!!!

RESCUE by Anonymous Author

For animal lovers like me, animal rescue is one of the most incredible, rewarding jobs... in the history of ever.

At the same time... it's also the most heartbreaking... The truth is... You see a lot of things... you never thought you'd see. You witness a level of cruelty... you didn't think was possible. You feel a degree of helplessness... you never thought you'd know.

You stare at painful images... soon burned into your memory... that will haunt your thoughts forever. You try to pick up the pieces... so many pieces... of the damage you didn't do. You do everything in your power... but even still... you'll never reach them all.

You'll try to stay strong... but you'll mostly feel weak. You'll build walls to protect your heart... but they'll never keep you safe. You'll place barriers around your soul... but the pain will always reach you.

And no matter how hard you try to fight it... over time... here's the truth about what happens in animal rescue... The neglect changes you. The abuse hardens you. The suffering breaks you.

The ignorance angers you. The indifference disturbs you. The injustice destroys you.

On a daily basis... your faith will be tested. Your heart will be wounded. Your soul will be altered.

On a weekly basis... you'll question yourself. You'll question your strength. You'll question the world. On a monthly basis... you'll fall down. You'll get up. You'll go on...

On a yearly basis... you'll look back... You'll see faces... You couldn't save them all.

You'll learn to mourn. To grieve. To sob.

You'll learn to trust a little less. To do a little more. To fight a little harder.

You'll learn to try. To hope. To pray.

You'll learn to fail. To succeed. To accept.

You'll learn when to hold on. When to give up. When to let go.

You'll learn who you are. What you stand for. Why that matters.

Then... at times... you'll forget why you matter. You'll question what you're doing. You'll wonder if it's worth it.

But... here's the good news...

When you forget... When you question... When you wonder...

All you have to do... Is take a look around... And you'll see them. You'll see their faces. You'll see their smiles. You'll feel their love.

In their eyes, you'll see their journeys... You'll remember their beginnings... You'll know how far they've come...

You'll remember when they didn't know you... When they didn't trust you... When they'd given up.

You'll remember how you healed them... How you loved them... How they loved you, too.

And as you look back... You'll want to move forward... For them... and because of them.

In your darkest hours, you'll look around... To find the differences made... the hope given... and the lives saved... Because you existed.

In those moments, when you look into their eyes... every doubt will be erased. Every question will be answered. Every worry will subside.

Because in that instant... in each of your hearts... You both share the very same thought: "Every bit of pain was worth it... for this moment here with you." And honestly... no matter what else happens... Those moments hold all the strength you need... To keep going.

Rescue is pain. Rescue is joy. Rescue is worth it... because they are worth it.

Ralphie & Rosie (aka Sosa & lil Mama) rescued from the NYACC are both 6 months old and in pretty bad shape with their mange especially Rosie and they just broke out with Parvo whilst being treated for their mange.

Treating a pup with parvo is expensive and we need to treat two! PMAR is asking for help with donations to help us meet the unexpected expense of treating these two sweet pups who now have broken out with parvo.

Please donate if you can. No amount is to small. PMAR thanks you and so does Ralphie and Rosie!
