Dear Sirs,
My beloved dog, Baxter, passed away of a heart attack and I had just purchased many pills for him.
I would like to donate them to you, as you keep animals alive and I respect that so much. I know you have older animals and are in need of these meds, Please use them the best way you can for the most needed.
I am also enclosing a small check for whatever you need.
I hope it helps somewhat.
Thank you for caring for pets.
Sincerely,
Lorraine N.
P.S. If at all possible can you send me a receipt for the donation …for my tax records. If not, not to worry.

Precious will be arriving at Pets Alive on the 23rd.
This is such a touching story and so many special people reached out to try to help this poor assiduous soul. I wanted to share her story with you and to introduce you to a very special rescue person named Anita. Anita is the one writing almost all the below. She takes very badly damaged dogs into her home and works with them before sending them on to rescue. We have taken many dogs from her in the past. Unlike many rescue people, Anita is still so kind and so courteous and so very compassionate. She isn’t pushy and she doesn’t play the “guilt card”. She never lies to you about a dog. She is brutally honest about all their issues and what she has done to try to help them. Many rescue people are NOT like that. I am not beating up on rescue folk. God knows that their hearts and souls are so damaged and so wounded that all they can often think about is how to save that next dog and if someone would just give this dog a chance…and it consumes them and it keeps them awake at night. So I am NOT beating up on them, but most have been doing it for so many years that they become jaded and weary and willing to do anything to save the animal. I do not sit in judgment of them. I applaud all their efforts and I grieve with them over their failures. Yet once in a while you meet someone different. Someone that has not become bitter and someone who can still tell you about a dog with feeling and emotion and passion and deep love and understanding. My hat is off to this very special woman. Anita …..thank you for what you do and for who you are. We look very forward to meeting Precious and finding her a person to love her and give her a chance. Thanks for loving her and caring for her and seeing past her wounds and her damage.
