I was never a girl scout but.......

Services for Real Estate Pros with Referral Group Incorporated

I was never a girl scout but I do know about kindness and recognize it when I see it. Recently I adopted a senior dog from a rescue in southern Connecticut. The woman who runs this rescue is a very special person who lives generously and loves completely. She has made it her mission to help the those who people generally ignore: the old and less desirable animals that wouldn't find homes without a lot of help. 

I used to work in rescue and I know just how hard it is. So many sad stories and so much work staying above water. Red Leash Rescue, (www.redleashrescue.com) in southern Connecticut does amazing work with essentially no help from any agency or individual. I wanted to give this group a shout out because they personify kindness and good. I hope if you are looking to make a difference and looking to adopt, you check them out.

Good Morning Sheila!

Squiggy is adorable. How could anyone resist those big brown eyes and floppy ears. He's so cute! I'll bet he has just the right amount of spunk to get along with your other dogs you rescued and he'll be giving back lots of unconditional love. 

Red Leash Rescue is a very special place and nobody knows it better and appreciates them more than Sheila Anderson

Sheila,

Kindness has nothing to do with Girl Scouts in my opinion.  You are either a font of kindness or you are not.  We know that you have a heart of gold, and what a nice shout out for the Red Leash rescue!  Here's wishing Squiggy a new loving home. A

Thanks Carol. There is no shelter as most rescue groups, including this one, have volunteers fostering their dogs. :)   Sheila

Thank you Anna. Rescue is hard and emotionally tough too. I was a foster failure with Billy, who I recently lost.       Sheila

Sheila you were so good to Billy.  Please don't talk to yourself that way. Your pups love you.

Squiggly has a very sweet face.  Perhaps the rescue group could write a singles ad for him.  Something like:

Ladies - Are you feeling loney and blue, because every date you have had recently has been more interested in Football, Baseball, Basketball, and Soccer?  Kick those guys to the curb.  I will be content to spend endless evenings cuddled next to you by the fire, go on pleasant walks in the park with you, and share your joys and sorrows.  I also won't catfish you, other than for flea protection and a good meal on a regular basis! -
