YOU KNOW WHAT I KNOW……
I know how you feel when desperate.
I know how you have your hands tied.
I know how your emotions are in panic mode
I have been there hundreds of times compared to most people when dealing with unwanted animals.
I am no different than you. I don’t have a shelter. I don’t have an army of people helping. I am begging people just like you are begging me to help.
I don’t blame people for reaching out to me because Paws is the ONLY program set as a resource for the citizens who find theirselves in these stressful situations. I am sick. I am exhausted. I cannot be everyone’s answer at the drop of a hat. I am sorry for that. I really am. I have put myself second hundreds of times compared to most people’s one time situation with unwanted animal(s) just to be their savior and the animal’s savior.
This week, I have been contacted by the cops twice because they don’t have other resources.
I have been contacted by 6 other people with their animal situations.
I have visited people’s homes after working a full day at a full time job to check on their problems.
My 40 minute peaceful ride home from a busy job is filled with people crying, begging, threatening, blaming, and being desperate. Calls I feel the need to address before getting home to manage a large family that is waiting for my attention instead of sharing it with strangers. Trust me when I say, I am sorry when I can’t do exactly what you are expecting me to do. I want to help. I want to be that animal’s rescuer but sometimes I just can’t. I am sick, I am tired, I am frustrated, I am mad. I just want to be able to take breath for a minute.
Please excuse any misspelled words and in-proper English. I am tired and would like to turn in for the night. I am sorry.
