Sometimes no matter how hard we want the outcome to be happy it isnt. Rescue folks deal with this more than they like. Many times it is a rescue that was abused, neglected or abandoned by their families. Those that come in healthy and balanced are few and far between. That is why it is so important for us all to support each other in our endeavors. Those who have done it for years will find these statements familiar. Im so tired and discouraged all the time. I feel like Im on duty 24/7 and never get a day off. The harder I work, the harder they want me to work. Nothing ever gets better, it seems like it only gets worse. The dogs dont stop coming no matter what I do. I have days where my hands shake just thinking about picking up the phone to call another owner who wants to dump their dog. I can hardly bring myself to do it anymore. When I do, I just want to scream at them. My bills are all past due, I owe a fortune to the vet, theres no food in the fridge, Im using the charge card to make ends meet and Im over my credit limit again. I dont know how Im going to buy dog food this week. Sometimes I grieve for the life I had before rescue. Its been so long, I hardly remember the fun I used to have, hobbies, trips, friends. I miss them so much! I want to quit so badly but I cant. The dogs are depending on me to save them. Thinking about quitting makes me feel guilty and ashamed of myself. But I cant go on this way much longer. I really wish someone would rescue me! Dont let this become you, take the time for yourself and take a break every now and then. If you dont you will either get out with a bad taste in your mouth or lose everything and face the consequences.
