Stanley

This little man was rescued from a local shelter after being left to die. It was hot at the shelter and Stanley was in a small cage with no food or water. He also suffered from demodex mange. The rescuer had rescued a few dogs on a Friday and decided to return on a Sunday, and thank God she did. There were many animals locked in cages with no water or food. The dog next to Stanley was dead and he was not far behind. So, this little guy was brought into our lobby. He was sad, hungry and dehydrated. I looked at his sweet eyes and told him that I would take him home. And I did. This little man was so full of love and goofiness. He is a fighter. After a short time, his hair grew back and he started to gain some weight. He was eventually adopted to a wonderful previous ACT adopter and he is now living the life he deserves. When I first met this little man, he was a mess but he wanted to live! And at ACT, we made sure to make that happen.

The first days were rough because I didn’t realize how much hard work went into maintaining the sanctuary. When my mom told me some days she would be there all by herself, I couldn’t believe it. It was hard enough for the two of us to get things done, I can’t imagine doing it all alone. I quickly got into the swing of things and the pain turned into a great feeling of fulfillment. My eyes were opened to how animal rescue really is a full time job that takes over every aspect of your life. Even when you’re not working, you’re still thinking about the animals. I even have dreams of the animals. My heart grew bigger and wa...
