Keep in touch
After hearing from Handsome Harry, I thought I would offer this gentle reminder to all who have adopted a rescued animal from a shelter or rescue. Please keep in touch.
Many of us in the rescue world come in contact with hundreds of animals and often wonder how their life is after they have left our care.
We are all busy, I know, but please drop a line via email or even snail mail to the place you adopted your family member from, especially if you don't live close enough for a visit and send pictures.
When we have had a really bad day, or week, or month, these little catch up notes sometimes give us the strength to continue this emotional work and find even more homeless animals a permanent place to hang their hats.
It will only take a minute and will bring lots of happiness to the people who were involved in the animals care.
