Rescue Reality...I've had some questions that were genuine and if one person has a question, chances are others have, too.
Why don't you pull more dogs?
In short, I operate on my own and have to be certain I can properly care for and tend to every dog. I have very few people who foster, and I am ok with that because every dog deserves the best and not everyone is cut out for the population we focus on, which is also ok.
Every dog has been rescued, so every dog is free here. They are not confined to crates or kennels because I don't believe that is rescue in any way.
What does a sanctuary do differently than a shelter?
I can only speak for ForeverMore. Our dogs are seniors and/or dogs with special needs. Often times, intakes are hospice pups. These dogs live here until they pass. It is hard on the heart, but the heartache is worth the rewards that come with saving a life, restoring hope, and watching dogs feel safe, secure and free to be who they were meant to be.
There have been exceptions when I have had space, such as Gummy, who was returned to the shelter and needed a soft, quiet place to decompress. Moses was at risk for euthanasia because someone did not handle him with kindness and he was reactive. He is a young lad but I could not stand the thought of him being put down because humans failed him and made him feel vulnerableand unsafe. I now believe Moses has a vision impairment that adds to his uncertainty, so he may be a forever dog, and that is ok.
Would I like to save more dogs? Absolutely, but I will do it in a responsible way.
