LOVE this: " I’ve learned that rescue dogs will love you in ways that dogs bought from shops can’t. They also require care, patience, and love far beyond what you think you should have to give. They have seen the worst in life, but they’re willing to forget it, if you give them just the right care." I hope you meet Rhonda Kay, author and resident of southwest Virginia, where animal abuse and neglect are so epidemic, she now devotes almost all her time and money saving animals in the 501(c)3 operation she established. Vet bills, dog food, all out of pocket, unless generous donors come forth.
