“It’s easy to see why dog rescue is a mushrooming culture. Turning a troubled person’s life around is difficult, but rescuers with commitment and time, and a few dollars can radically alter the fate of a dog. And there are millions of dogs – nearly 10 million in the shelter system, many others mistreated in private homes – in need of rescuing. – Jon Katz
“Rescue does not mean damaged. It means they have been let down by humans.” – Anonymous
“You can’t change a dog’s past, but you can rewrite the future.” – Agnes Carass
“A dog doesn’t care if you’re rich or poor, smart or dumb. Give him your heart…and he’ll give you his.” – Milo Gathema
“It’s rewarding beyond words to rescue a dog from the shelter and have that dog become part of your family.” – Jenna Morasca
