Those of you that know me really well know that when I talk about my passion, saving animals, my eyes get a little misty. I had put this burning desire to dive into the world of animal rescue on hold because of the overwhelming sense of hopelessness. After attending a conference in 2009 I left with mixed emotions. The attendees were not exactly what I had expected. Although I tried really hard to go into the conference with no preconceived expectations on what the other attendees would be like, I had hoped that they would have the same drive and passion as I did. I mean we all did pay the $300+ to attend this conference, so those 500+ people MUST really want to make a change right? Not exactly... Animal people can sometimes be.... well good with animals and not so great with their own kind :) In fact, most of the participants didn't even have an open mind and a lot of them had lost all hope of a day with no more homeless pets altogether. This was disappointing to say the least and in a way, devastating to MY personal goal to see the day that we have no more homeless pets.
By now you know that I let myself get in my own way of my goal. Now, two years later, I have broken through this shell shock and will take on the task of someday eliminating homelessness in pets. We CAN make this a reality and I WILL do everything in my power to make this happen. I know I can't do it on my own, and I know that it will take time, and as a result lives will be taken (I physically loose sleep over this at night). But I can no longer be selfish and turn a blind eye. Animals do not deserve to be put to death for what mankind has done.
Yesterday I purchased my website domane, Animallifelines.com, and started a facebook page, Animallifelines, both of which I will utilize to my best ability to make an impact. I am still in the beginning stages of planning my attach but you have to start somewhere :)
My quest to save the animals is back on track.
Bring it!
