Why Rescue?

I'll never bring about world peace. I won't single handedly save the rain
forest. I'm not a brain surgeon and I'll never transplant an
organ to save a life. I don't have the ear of a powerful politician or
world power. I can't end world hunger. I'm not a celebrity, and God knows I'm not glamorous! I'm not looked up to by millions around the world. Very few people even recognize my name. I'll never win
the Nobel prize. I'll never save the rain forest or end global
warming. There are a lot of things that I'll never do or become.

But today I placed a dog!

It was a small, scared, bundle of flesh and bones that was dropped off in a shelter by unfeeling people that didn't care what happened to it, but yet who were responsible for it even having existence in the first place.

I found it a home.

It now has contentment and an abundance of love. A warm place to
sleep and plenty to eat. Two little boys have a warm fuzzy new
friend who will give them unquestioning devotion and teach them
about responsibility and love. A wife and mother has a new spirit
to nurture and care for. A husband and a father has a companion to sit at his feet at the end of a hard day of work and help him relax and enjoy life. And a sense of security, that when he is gone all
day at work, that there is a protector and a guardian in his home to keep watch over his family.

No, I'm not a rocket scientist. But today, I made a difference!
