On December 19th of last year we were called out to search for an emaciated boxer that was seen running on Lone Valley in Taylor County, a known dumping ground for unwanted pets. After several hours searching in the cold and darkness we came up empty. Day after day we made the trip to search again. On Dec 22nd while shopping in town I got a gut wrenching feeling that once again I needed to go look. We searched and searched and came up empty handed AGAIN. Loaded up in the van to leave, my gut and heart were screaming for me to try one more time. Angel went one way I went the other, We never did find that boxer girl but what we did find was a frightened 12-14 week old german shepherd mix puppy in a creek. She was cold wet alone and very very afraid. She growled and tried to bite us non stop for the first few hours. We brought that frightened girl home and sat with her for hours, reassuring her that she was safe now and would never be thrown away again. This dog is Gabby MY own personal dog now. Had it not been for Gabby being found when we did I would have just walked away. I was ready to throw it all away, (MY rescue and my spot as the rescue coordinator for the shelter) Rescue should NEVER be as hard as it has been this past year, finger pointing accusations and people running their damn mouths trying to ruin myself my rescue and the TC rescue efforts. I LOVE helping animals. People not so much. Thank you Gabby girl for reminding me always that its the animals that matter not the nit picky ass idiots that always try to condemn people instead of giving them a helping hand UP. Thank yous going out to every single person who has stood by me and what I believe in. And honestly I thank all the asshats that have caused crap this past year, without your petty ideals and finger pointing I wouldnt be as strong as I am today. And I guess if they are spending their time trying to tear me down they are leaving others not as strong as myself alone. :) THANK YOU all for the good and the bad! Below are pics from the day she was found, where she was found and the tears running down my face as I was able to finally hold her and let her know she was finally safe.
