Today, Iโd like to say a SUPER SPECIAL THANKS and HONOR ResQRevโs FOSTER MOTHERS!
These women have dropped everything FOR YEARS to find a place in their home and lives for an animal I couldnโt turn away.
Theyโve dealt with litters of puppies that s**t all over everything, unexpected childbirth from dogs we took in the week (OR DAY) day before, and New Intakes who are snappy, scared, confused and untrusting.
Theyโve housed them, fed them, loved them, and brought them back to life. And they endure the bittersweet heartbreak of handing over FosterBabies once we find Forever Families.
One of our fosters, โค๏ธ Cathy Yopp โค๏ธ takes on the Senior and Special Needs dogs that may require medicine every day, may be blind or incontinent, or may not have much time left. She cares for them as her own and then has to handle the passings of each. (She also takes the Biters who I have given up on and quietly hides them from me, hoping iโll forget about them. ๐ And I do)
โค๏ธ Janelle Yates will also drop everything for a needy animal, often saying โYesโ when I say โNoโ.
Sheโll take the rabbits and birds and patiently clean up after each. She has the behavioral training and makes time to work with pups who need more than I can give here at the rescue. One-on-one training to a pup with issues can be the difference between life or death. She has a heart of gold and still believes the best in people. When Iโm overwhelmed, sheโs the quiet voice of reason, saying, โDonโt worry. I got you.โ
โค๏ธ Angela Thibodeaux literally MOVED across the street to help me with the animals here. She takes on the majority of responsibility when I need to leave town, caring and cleaning for the fosters and my personal pets, also. (And who accidentally acquired a porch full of Community Cats who now expect to eat at both homes ๐ฑ๐คฃ)
โค๏ธ And last but CERTAINLY not LEAST, Carol Pellegrin, who was my Rescue Ride or Die for a decade โฆ who thinks she โretiredโ from rescue and was finally free of meโbut instead just got promoted to โMomโ and STILL had to deal with all my bulls**t. She rescued hundreds of animals before me, with me and still has a pinky toe in and helps as needed. They say โRescue is like the Mafia: You can never actually Leave,โ ๐คฃ
โค๏ธ Brittnie, Nicole, Renee, Mikie, Amelia, Lauren and fosterDads Kevin and Blake, this message of love appreciation applies to yโall, too, and anyone Iโve left out!
These people take time away from jobs and families, just for me. They end up using their own money on essentials the rescue should provide but havenโt had the money to.
โ- Most importantly, they KEEP ME SANE. They take my rants and harsh words and hopefully know I donโt mean them personally, Iโm just angry at the World.
These women are not just friends of the rescue, theyโve become my personal friends. They MEAN THE WORLD to me and I couldnโt do this without them, physically or emotionally. โค๏ธ
To all my other Foster Moms out there, I appreciate every second you give or have given to support our Little Revolutionaries. Youโve been the strongest link in the chain, spreading your time and love, allowing more homeless pets to come in and intimately find their Happily Ever After.
Proud to have you all a part of Rescue Revolution, prouder to call you Friends!
