Lost and Found Dog Rescue has been able to identify the author of "We Are Rescue", which has become the tradition and motto for our organization. Lost and Found Dog Rescue has been informed that the quote we use as part of our creed is part of a longer version which you can view through the links below. "We Are Rescue" has been used on hundreds of sites as well as emails world wide. We are honored that the author has found us and has granted us permission to use her beautifully spoken words as well as provided links to other organizations she supports. Lost and Found Dog Rescue sincerely thanks Kathie for her allowing us to continue to use her words as our creed.
"Until you have held a tiny puppy in your arms as it kissed your face with
slobbery puppy breath and felt the love,
Until you have held an injured or severely ill dog in your arms and felt their pain and until you have looked into the eyes of a tired aging senior dog and felt their wisdom,
You will never understand the life of a rescuer.
We find beauty in the most incomprehensible places and the otherwise homely faces. It is our gift to see beyond the dirt, terror, sadness and defeat and find the true soul that lies within.
We are Rescue."
Author - Kathie Sullivan-Parkes, Topsham, VT
