Have you ever 'rescued' an animal from the shelter or abusive situation?

I do alot with the Animal Shelter where I live and it never ceases to amaze me how some people treat animals! It's horrible! People seem to think they are disposable! It makes me very angry. I have rescued 5 cats and 2 dogs from very abusive situations, as strays and from the pound. I was just curious if anyone out there had some stories they would like to share.

I once pulled out a dog who was stuck in a massive amount of mud after a flood, he was there for 2 hours and no one who passed by would help him, I eventually got tired and decided to pull him out and give a wash-up. Another time I took a cat off the streets, who was thrown on the roof of his owners house (my neighbor).

Oh my! I am so glad you are one of those people who just can't keep going and had to stop. Thank you so much! What happened with the dog? Your neighbor is definitely not a very nice person. Did you keep the cat? Thank you again for being so kind and compassionate. Not enough of that in the world anymore! What say you?

Kudos to you! It is so wonderful to hear when people take the responsibility upon themselves to make sure that pet has a good home where it is loved and taken care of! Thank you for sharing!
