If you've come to this rescue page it is probably because you're interested in dog rescue. I support ending puppy mills, (click the link at the bottom of the page to find information about puppy mills in America.) I also support rehoming dogs when they have lost their owners. The poem below is actually a song sung by Garth Brooks (please don't sue me anyone, I know it's not mine) and I feel that it embodies what rescue is about. No, maybe we can't save every animal out there but if we don't try...well it's a tragedy. People breed dogs for whatever reason and if they are not responsible then someone has to pick up the pieces because the dogs don't deserve to die. They did not ask to be unwanted and unloved. Find a responsible breeder if you're looking for a purebred dog. Don't support puppy mills! If you're not looking to spend a lot of money or you don't care about breed go to your local animal shelter. These dogs need good loving homes. They will give you more love than you can ever give to them!

The Change

One hand

Reaches out

And pulls a lost soul from harm

While a thousand more

Go unspoken for

They say what good have you done

By saving just this one

It's like whispering a prayer

In the fury of a storm

And I hear them saying you'll never change things

And no matter what you do it's still the same thing

But it's not the world that I am changing

I do this so this world will know

That it will not change me

This heart

Still believes

That love and mercy still exist

While all the hatreds rage and so many say

That love is all but pointless in madness such as this

It's like trying to stop a fire

With the moisture from a kiss

And I hear them saying you'll never change things

And no matter what you do it's still the same thing

But it's not the world that I am changnig

I do this so this world will know

That it will not change me

As long as one heart still holds on

Then hope is never really gone

I hear them saying you'll never change things

And no matter what you do it's still the same thing

But it's not the world that I am changing

I do this so this world we know

Never changes me

What I do is so

This world we know

That it will not change me

There are a lot of good rescue organizations in the United States. If you live in Kansas or the surrounding area and are looking to rescue an animal from a local shelter organization I would urge you to look at www.critterconnection.com They have pictures of animals at the Lawrence Humane Society, Independence, Wayside Waifs, and others!

If you're looking for a rescue papillon I suggest going to the PCA site
