Last week two best friends were slated for euthanasia at a pound (not a Humane Society) in Ste. Agathe, Quebec. A group of wonderful women from Kingston drove down to Montreal and rescued these two dogs along with a number of other dogs and have brought them back to Kingston. These dogs are now all in foster homes awaiting adoption to their forever homes. The two best friends are very bonded and need to be adopted together. One is a Rottie Mix and the other a Husky Mix. One Neutered the other is not. They are both gentle and have obviously been well cared for. Obviously it is harder to place two dogs together but these 2 dogs really need to stay together. If you can help please contact Christine who’s number is listed below for more information.

To you, from all your rescue dogs…

I would’ve died that day if not for you.
I would’ve given up on life if not for your kind eyes.
I would’ve used my teeth in fear if not for your gentle hands.
I would have left this life believing that all humans don’t care
Believing there is no such thing as fur that isn’t matted,
skin that isn’t flea bitten, good food and enough of it, beds to sleep on,
someone to love me, to show me I deserve love just because I exist.
Your kind eyes, your loving smile, your gentle hands
Your big heart saved me…
You saved me from the terror of the pound,
Soothing away the memories of my old life.
You have taught me what it means to be loved.
I have seen you do the same for other dogs like me.
I have heard you ask yourself in times of despair
Why you do it
When there is no more money, no more room, no more homes
You open your heart a little bigger, stretch the money a little tighter
Make just a little more room…to save one more like me.
I tell you with the gratitude and love that shines in my eyes
In the best way I know how
Reminding you why you go on trying.
I am the reason
The dogs before me are the reason
As are the ones who come after.
Our lives would’ve been wasted, our love never given
We would die if not for you.

I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter…the cast-offs of human society.
I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness, and betrayal.
And I was angry.
“God,” I said, “this is terrible! Why don’t you do something?”
God was silent for a moment, and then spoke softly,
“I have done something,” was the reply. “I created you.”
