I could send an email every single day relaying a sad animal story, but
restrain myself.
However, when we get a case like Norton I feel like I have to shout from the
roof tops that we must stop the cycle of animal cruelty and neglect. This
is why PAL and other rescue groups exist.
Norton was a walking skeleton when brought to PAL. He was found on the side
of the road in Jasper County, so weak he could not walk. He was full of
hook worms and fleas. (No ticks since there was barely any blood for them
to survive!) He had bite/puncture wounds all over his body. We suspect he
was a bait dog. His is young and unaltered.
Norton (named by a volunteer) was placed in ICU after arrival at PAL.
Within hours his sweet spirit shined through. Yesterday he was much
improved after 4 days of food and fluids (and a flea bath). Amazingly, he
appears loving to everyone and his tail does not stop wagging. The
forgiving nature of dogs always inspires me.
When you see a case like Norton a piece of your heart is torn apart and your
faith in humankind is challenged. But the wonderful people who rescue and
nurse animals like Norton back to health and, of course, those who adopt
animals like him, all help mend your heart.
Please give animals a second chance at life. Think about adopting or
volunteering at PAL's Adoption Center. Although we have a facility full of
healthy and adorable kittens, puppies, cats and dogs, many have required
extensive veterinary/medical care which is a huge expense to the
organization. Plus we begin our "$9 for 9 Lives" campaign, adopting adult
cats for just $9 each--which means less money coming into PAL from
adoptions, but hopefully more animals finding great homes. So donations are
always appreciated as well!
Thanks for letting me vent. These innocent creatures rely on us to help!
