The world can be a cold and hard place sometimes. But as difficult as it seems for us humans, for the animals of the world it can be even more cold and heartless. They are the innocents and voiceless who are thrown away without a glance backwards, abused and beaten, starved and unloved. Humans claim to love their pets but then at the slightest inconvenience or change of plans or whatever sad excuse that can be dreamed up, those very same pets are are so easily discarded.

But thankfully there are also human angels who are waiting nearby to scoop up these heartbroken pets and given them shelter, love, food and another chance at life. These wonderful people give entirely of themselves without thought of where the money is going to come, or how to fit another homeless animal into a safe place until a forever home can be found for them. They will drive for endless miles to rescue animals from a shelter that has run out of time and room. They will spend endless hours networking online with other rescuers to save as many as they can.

There will always be another lost animal who needs rescue and sometimes it can seem quite overwhelming to those who sacrifice their lives and time to help these animals. Sometimes those that do animal rescue find themselves asking the question "are they really making any difference in this worldwide crisis"? But then they look into the deeply grateful eyes of a dog or a cat who has been saved from a horrible fate and it is then that the realization hits them that "saving one animal may not change the world, but surely for that one animal the world has been changed".


The video below tells the touching story of the life of an animal rescuer and how they effect the animals they take in. It is not an easy life to follow but the rewards are incredible as both the rescuer and the rescued lives are forever changed and linked together. The video is very touching and pays a much needed tribute to those who sacrifice so much and whose only real payback is to see another animal off the streets and into a loving home forever.
