it's seems to be just one of those weeks here, a lost dog was found another went missing. Though we know she will make her way home

Another frustrating day, when an owner flat out tells you a lie. How do you prove neglect when an animal doesn't physically look neglected? Does it really have to get to that point? With next to no humane laws in a state that considers your pets property it makes it feel near impossible to help the paws in need! Just one of those days in rescue world i guess.

♥ Those of us who volunteer always leave a big piece of our hearts at the shelter ♥ we love these animals! I guess the sayings true one mans trash is another mans treasure! ALl these animals are treasures and i just dont understand how any one could ever consider them trash! But it happens all the time! With the shelter over its limit my heart breaks every time i leave the shelter doors, i think ...of each dog sitting in their runs young and old wagging their tails, looking at us with those big soulful eyes begging us to take them out ...even if just for a short walk so that they can show how capable they are of loving! SHELTER ANIMALS ARE NOT BROKEN, SHELTER ANIMALS ARE NOT TRASH, SHELTER ANIMALS ARE NOT IN JAIL, SHELTER ANIMALS ARE WAITING TO FIND THE PERFECT HUMANS TO SHARE THEIR LOVE WITH AND START THEIR NEW CHAPTER! Please spay, neuter and ADOPT, DONT SHOP! ♥

When things happen to animals...negative things we tend to blame ourselves and become down and out about all the could haves, should haves and why didn't we's? This is to all my fellow advocates, remember to look in to the eyes of those we have helped and are helping and know its all worth it...even through the coulda should of would of's....WE DO MAKE A DIFFERNCE WITH EACH PAW THAT WALKS THORUGH OUR DOORS! remember this when the next set of paws walks through the doors YOU are making a difference in this animals life! Animals first, Humans second*

It's one of those situations today where we know someones going to get mad when something is said to them about their interactions with the dogs &cats in our care. We just have to remind our selves that it is for the safety and benefit of the animals so no matter how mad this person gets they're gonna have to deal beause here at A.A.R.T. It's Animal's First, Humans Second* if you don't like it don't let the kennel hit you in the t**h on the way out.

Pitty stories seem to be at an all time high,the stories break our hearts,it's a horrible decision when you have to look into a dogs eyes & turn it away.The dog owners think we don't care but in reality where these dogs end up or could end up is constantly running through our minds,it's days like these that make us feel defeated.Then we walk in back & look in to the faces of those we have saved and remember why we do this &never forgetting those we couldnt help.Animals first ,Humans second*

Today was a Ruff day@ A.A.R.T,As we stated before we can't save everypaw, but every paw we save counts.We met a dog today that was full of life and love you could see it inthe pups eyes feel it w/the pups tounge and experience it through the pups tail, an amazing dog wecan only help so much,we're hoping for the best. Here at AART we wish we could help every dog &cat we come across but we know we can't.A piece of our heart goes with each dog & cat we have and each dog and cat in need that we meet
