Animal Rescuers Creed
I am an Animal Rescuer. My job is to assist
God's creatures. I was born with the need to fulfill their needs. I
take in new family members without plan, thought or selection.
I have bought dog or cat food with my last dime. I have patted a
mangy head with a bare hand. I have hugged someone vicious and
afraid.
I have fallen in love a thousand times and I have cried into the fur
of a lifeless body. I have Animal Friends and friends who have
animal friends. I don't often use the
word "pet."
I notice those lost at the road side and my heart aches. I will hand
raise a field mouse and make friends with a vulture. I know of no
creature unworthy of my time.
I want to live forever if there aren't animals in Heaven, but I
believe there are. Why would God make something so perfect and leave
it behind? We may be master of the animals, but the animals have
mastered themselves-- something people still haven't learned.
War and Abuse makes me hurt for the world, but a rescue that makes
the news gives me hope for mankind. We are a quiet but determined
army, and making a difference every day. There is nothing more
necessary than warming an orphan, nothing more rewarding than saving
a life; No higher recognition than watching them thrive. There is no
greater joy than seeing a baby play who only days ago, was too weak
to eat.
I am an Animal Rescuer, My work is never done,
My home is never quiet. My wallet is
always empty, but my heart is always full In
the game of life, we have already won.
