Unsung Heroes of Rescue

Unsung Heroes
 
 
 
In the rescue world, there are more heroes than most people know about.   Of course, there are also those who everyone does know about.   They do a good job of marketing their efforts.   However, at German Shepherd Rescue of OC, we have one group in particular who I consider heroes and the backbone of this rescue.  
 
 
Today, it is going to be 100 degrees outside.   Most people will stay inside where it is cool.   But as you pour yourself a second cup of coffee, there is a group of 20-25 people who are getting ready to make a drive over to a kennel to pick up a dog.   This is not just any dog.   It is a dog that someone else threw away.   It is a dog who would not get any attention if it wasn't for this person.  This dog wouldn't get to go on a car ride today.  She wouldn't get brushed and loved.   She wouldn't get to be out of her kennel for 5-6 hours today stretching her legs, making friends and HOPEFULLY, HOPEFULLY finding her home.    That is what this group is doing today.   Giving these dogs hope.  Giving them a chance.   You can bet that they fall in love every Saturday.   And you can bet their hearts break a little every Saturday, too.  
 
 
You see, after standing in the heat all day, dousing the dogs with love and ice water...they have to take the babies back to the kennel and drop them off.    It is not easy.   Truth is, it rips your heart out.   But these heroes do it every weekend.   They give up every Saturday to do the work that no one talks about in rescue.  They load the dogs into their own cars, surely getting hair and who knows what else all over their cars.  They buy treats.   They open their hearts for this day, for this dog.    It isn't glamorous like pulling a dog from a shelter and whisking them off to safety.   It isn't placing a dog in a home and taking the Happy Ending pics as the dog rides off into the sunset.  
 
 
This is the heart hard work.   This is hero work.

  2. It is no secret that I have a very deep and personal relationship with God. I have pushed and resisted that relationship this past year through all the bullshit I have had to go through living with Herpes but once again, God is bigger than my stubbornness and broke through that outbreak cold sore and all I had Genital Herpes. For me personally, hearing over and over how I am not good enough has really invaded my mind in the worst way possible. I completely shut down and I was just waking up like is this how life going to end this temporary herpes outbreak “fuck everybody with herpes if you know what I mean” but let's be honest here...
    It is a cowardly to say no to herbal medicine. It is fear based. And it is dishonest to what my heart wants. Don't build a wall around yourself because you are afraid of herbals made or taking a bold step especially when it's come to health issues and getting cure. So many young men/ women tell me over and over that Dr Itua is going to scam me but I give him a try to today I feel like no one will ever convince me about herbal medicine I accept Dr Itua herbal medicine because it's cure my herpes just two weeks of drinking it and i have been living for a year and months now I experience outbreak no more, You can contact him if you need his herbal medicine for any such diseases like, Herpes, Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity Syndrome Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic,Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob,,Lyme Disease,Epilepsy, ,ALS,Hepatitis,Copd,Parkinson disease.Genetic disease,Fibrodysplasia disease,Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Men/Woman infertility, bowel disease ,Huntington's disease ,Diabetes,Fibroid. disease,Lupus,Lipoid Storage diseases( Gauchers disease),Polycystic Disease.,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Cirrhosis of Liver,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis,Alzheimer's disease,Adrenocortical carcinoma.Asthma,Allergic,HIV, Epilepsy, Infertility, Love Spell,. Email..drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com then what's app.+2348149277967.... My advice to any sick men/women out there is simple... Be Always an open book. Be gut wrenching honest about yourself, your situation, and what you are all about. Don't hold anything back. Holding back will get you nowhere...maybe a one way ticket to lonelyville and that is NOT somewhere you want to be. So my final truth...and I'm just starting to grasp this one..
