Lessons from Rescues After Adoption
When an animal enters our life, it’s often seen as a fresh start. But for them, it’s not the beginning of their story — it’s simply another chapter. A chapter that holds new hope, new opportunities, and new bonds. Having spent time connecting with many rescue animals, I’ve come to realize that shelters are not simply places of waiting. They are places where love, care, and respect are poured into these animals every single day. Yes, it may not be the life these animals envisioned for themselves, but it’s not a place of despair either. The humans at these shelters work tirelessly to provide them with everything they need, from food and medical care to love and attention. Animals feel this energy. They feel the nurturing, and they appreciate it deeply. Many animals have shared their thoughts about their time in the shelter with me. They’re not sad or angry about it — they’re actually grateful. They may not have a forever home yet, but their time in the shelter still holds meaning. "...
