A gost is in the shelter!!!

I went out of the shelter yesterday to attempt a meeting called " Northcoast networking" (women in business). Nice to meet and listen to peoples story🙏
I think i would like to share on my page the same thing that i offered at the meeting, since some Cabarete buisness owners maybe could be interested:

PAY IT FORWARD 💜

Im trying to grow a YouTube channel for the rescue animals i have here at the shelter in Los brazos.
We are making small videoes in different locations. If you are a buisness owner we can come to your location and film a episode, getting your buisness name on camera for free, all you need to do in return is to share that episode on your social medias. Wich means, free publicity, grow of the YouTube channel, more abused animals can be saved 🙏

Borrowed text:

If you're thinking of getting into animal rescue, here's something you need to know:

You need to build armour, not just for the hard work, but for the people.

You’ll need more than compassion. You’ll need resilience. You’ll need to remind yourself daily why you started, because the world will test you.

People will cheer you on when you post a happy rescue story. But when you say no, because your rescue is full, your funds are low, or you are exhausted, those same voices will criticize you.

They’ll forget the animals you saved and focus on the one you couldn’t take.

Don’t let it change your heart.

Some people will praise your care, your process, your kindness, until they want to surrender a pet, and you ask questions or try to help them work through it. Suddenly, you’re the worst person for them.

That’s part of the job.

You’ll lose relationships. Some friends won’t understand why you fight for animal rights. Others will be cold to you when you’re being too dramatic for them after spending the night with a dying rescue.

Let them go.

People will call you every hour, message you at 2am, expect you to be available around the clock. And when you finally pause to breathe, they’ll say you’re fake, you don’t care.

It’ll sting, but keep breathing anyway.

Other rescuers will criticize how you operate, even if they’ve never set foot in your rescue. Some will help. Others will just talk.

Focus on the work, not the noise.

You’ll see things you can’t unsee. You’ll witness cruelty. And sometimes, no matter how fast you get there or how much you spend, you’ll still lose the animal.

Those are the nights you’ll sit and cry alone, and no one knows that.

But even in that pain, you’ll keep going.
Because despite all of it, the judgment, the burnout, the loss, the work matters.

Every life saved is a reason to continue.

Rescue is beautiful, heartbreaking, and unforgiving. But if you’re in it for the right reasons, you’ll find strength in the heartbreak and purpose in the pain.

Just don’t lose yourself in the process.

From the streets of Ukraine, this abandoned rescue dog had known only fear and loneliness. But with love, compassion, and care, a second chance began. Today,...
