Another Chance For Some Abused Animals
I just came across this video about the rehabilitation of Michael Vick’s dogs. The Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah really deserves major kudos for taking the time to work individually with each animal that would have normally been put down.
I really believe for every bad person out there doing harm to the innocent ones, there are at least 2 good people who will help to make a difference in some lives and bring more light onto the planet from their actions.
Leif and I were at the local humane society last week renewing our yearly pet licenses and whenever we go there (usually to drop off donations of food and stuff for them – they always need various items) we check out all the animals. It’s all I can do to not take several dogs home with me, you can just hear them begging to please take me home! We saw several smaller dogs this time that were less than a year old and just so adorable and Leif wanted them, of course. I did see several pit bulls or pit bull mixes in there, too.
One little girl pit bull was hiding under the ledge in the pen and shaking so much and growling from fear. I felt so bad for her that I did reiki on her thru the gate and she definitely felt it and I tried to mentally talk to her thru the energy work and she totally calmed down, stopped shaking and put her head down and let out a big sigh. She was so afraid being there and had major energy blocks in her heart. I think I may go back and try to volunteer to do energy work on the various animals that need it. I feel so bad for the animals that are given away. At least the humane society where I live does not destroy them, if they are not adopted in a certain amount of time then they get to go out to “the ranch” as it’s called so they don’t have to live in the little prison like cells for so long (they do get one walk a day). That can warp their brains (as I’ve been told).
So, for all of you who choose to save a life from the humane society, thank you. There are so many amazing little beings just looking to give their love to someone and to be loved in return. The people who work at the humane society really do a good job in assessing what type of family is best for each animal. There are also breed specific animal rescues if you have your heart set on a pure breed of some kind. But, in my opinion, a mixed breed animal is the best kind and usually are very smart. I love my 3 humane society adopted animals and am happy I got to save some lives in the process.

I can’t wait until the boys are old enough and we can get them a dog. Of course, we will be going to the Humane Society to pick him/her out, when the time comes.
