Going the Extra Mile!







These two lucky dogs were rescued over the weekend! One of our dedicated volunteers contacted the rescues to see if they would help, made arrangements when they were accepted, then proceeded to drive ll hours round trip to deliver them to their destinations. Eden (left) went to Australian Cattle Dog Rescue of Illinois in Joliet, and Shailla (right) went to Rescue A German Shepherd (RAGS) in Hales Corners, Wisconsin. Our volunteer gets embarassed when people fuss over her efforts, so I won't name her. She just needs to know that we appreciate her very much! She has already made several trips like these, and thinks nothing of it. Thanks again Ms. Anonymous!

This volunteer will be the most celebrated person at the Rainbow Bridge one day. So many animals have been given such a wonderful new lease on life because of her.

Both dogs are doing wonderfully and both rescues are very hopeful that they will find forever homes quickly because they're such great dogs!

Sounds like another of the many wonderful Humane Society volunteers across the country. For some more inspiration, please take a look at this short video -- ahamoment.com/pg/moments/view/4169 -- which tells the story of one woman’s “aha moment” and how one special dog lead her to become to be a Humane Society volunteer. I think you’ll enjoy it.

All the best,
