    Today I made a difference
    I have great admiration for all those rescuers who work with dogs and help find them homes, and give them love and attention things they have probably never had from their previous owners who just left them at the shelter to die...

    So here's a little tribute to all those who help dogs find homes, especially those who adopt the dogs and give them a permanent loving home.

    Today I Made a Difference



    I'll never bring about world peace. I won't single handedly save the rain forest. I'm not a brain surgeon and I'll never transplant an organ to save a life. I don't have the ear of a powerful politician or world power. I can't end world hunger. I'm not a celebrity, and God knows I'm not glamorous! I'm not looked up to by millions around the world. Very few people even recognize my name. I'll never win the Nobel prize. I"ll never save the rain forest or end global warming. There are a lot of things that I'll never do or become.

    But today I placed a dog!


    It was a small, scared, bundle of flesh and bones that was dropped off in a shelter by unfeeling people that didn't care what happened to it, but yet who were responsible for it even having existence in the first place.

    I found it a home.


    It now has contentment and an abundance of love. A warm place to sleep and plenty to eat. Two little boys have a warm fuzzy new friend who will give them unquestioning devotion and teach them about responsibility and love.

    A wife and mother has a new spirit to nurture and care for.


    A husband and a father has a companion to sit at his feet at the end of a hard day of work and help him relax and enjoy life. And a sense of security, that when he is gone all day at work, that there is a protector and a guardian in his home to keep watch over his family.

    No, I'm not a rocket scientist. But today, I made a difference!
