I recently did a blog here on AR for a local non profit animal sanctuary called "A Chance for Bliss". This wonderful sanctuary is in foreclosure and many area supporters have tooted their horn to promote funding for this exceptional animal ranch that gives these creatures a forever home to live out their life. Local Veterinarians, volunteers, and area businesses have donated their services to this very unique ranch that offers dignity, and love in the final years of life.

We have been noted in their newsletter as "Active Rain (the largest real estate network) friends to help the sanctuary."  Lets' show them the true spirit of giving!

Animals do not understand foreclosure. Even if half of the 163,000 of us here on AR just contribute to a worthy non profit, can you just imagine what that could do to help?

This started as a local mission for me, but now it has became more with the help of my active rain friends and my entire school that is contributing books to this cause. If you can help, please go HERE. Every dollar counts and is so appreciated.

This is more than just a possible foreclosure... it affects creatures that have finally found a place of refuge... away from pain, and neglect, one that allows them to live their life in peace and love.

For those of you who live local, there is also a garage and yard sale benefit in Rocklin this weekend. Tell all your friends. Stop by say "hi" and know that every dollar spent will go this worthy animal sanctuary  A Chance for Bliss.

Thank you for sharing this, Lori Kim.

It seems they have have a thing for Boston Terriers, and their story about their dog, Hope, hit me too close to home. Our Boston Terrier (both blind and deaf) nearing his 16th year, disappeared from our home one day. The Boogie Man never, ever went outside by himself. He never even tried, as we have steeps steps on our front porch, and he was a very smart doggie.

One afternoon this past summer, he just wasn't in the house. We searched ins a state of sheer terror and anguish for him. Despite our every possible human effort, we never found him or found anyone who had even seen him. Our neighbor searched her surveillance system, which covers a large portion of our yard in the distance, and he didn't go down the street.  Ads in the newspaper, neighborhood canvassing, fliers in every mailbox, and tireless driving and searching the wooded areas brought us nothing. He was just gone.

We dream he is in a better place. It would be so nice if he wound up in a place like Chance for Bliss.

So, thank you for this blog and the chance to help them in some small way to thwart the threat foreclosure.

Michelle... You must know that he went off and found peace with an angel.  I hope that you find some peace with that.  Animals have always been my mission. Ever since I was a lil one... I was always caring for and protecting them.  I grew up next door to a Vet. and he taught me so much more than medicine. That is why I continue to volunteer for rescue groups.

Thank you for sharing your heart and for stopping by.  This group is very deserving and we are doing everything that we can to help them. Peace to you my friend ;)

Thank you both.  Michelle, I feel your pain.  The not knowing is the most difficult part.  Sixteen is a long lifespan for a BT.  The best we can do is believe in the best possible outcome, for even if they have passed on, the energy in our thoughts is real.  Send them love, not fear, no matter what.  I'll imagine your precious Boston Terrorist waiting at the Rainbow Bridge with our assortment of gimpy, eyeless and deaf kids, all made whole again, just hanging out until we can join them.

Just had to come back and and thank you both, Lori Kim and Deanna, for your words about The Boogie Man.

It takes time to accept what feels so unacceptable - that this dog who never knew a day of hunger or thirst, or a cold night or an unbearably hot day, who never spent a night without a kiss and a warm body to sleep next to, spent his final hours confused, lost, or hurt, not  knowing which way to walk to find his home.

But, it is what it is, it happened, and we will never know in this lifetime what happened. Such is the nature of life and death.

A young  "Boston Terrorist" (as you do aptly described them, Deanna) came into our yard in the weeks after TBM's disappearance, and despite our diligent efforts, his owner has never been located. He's a bit of a biter. We suspect he may have been dumped, since no response to fliers or ads have turned up anything in this town of only 3000 people.

So at least, when we come home now, a wiggling brindled boxer, just like TBM,  rushes up to us with pure glee. It's not the same, but we recognized a God-given gift when we see one.

 

~Michelle
