Crazy Paws has made the difficult decision to temporarily stop rescuing dogs.  It was not an easy decision but without loving foster homes and volunteers to help at adoption events there is no way we can continue our mission.

A Rescue Dog
Now I have arrived at your home, 
everything is strange, and I don’t feel good.
 
Do not feel impatient
If I don’t sleep in my new basket.
Yesterday, I slept on a stone floor.
 
Do not be terrified if I gobble up my food.
Yesterday, I had to do it to survive.
 
Do not get angry if I pee on your floor.
Yesterday, it did not matter.
 
Do not be sad if I am afraid of your loving hand.
Yesterday, I did not have one.
 
Have patience with me, it’s your world, 
but not mine yet.
 
If I trust you, I can give you the greatest
Gift I have to give…
My heart.
 
Please never forget, I was a pound dog.
All I need is a bit of time to adjust.

                                    A DOG’S LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT

Before humans die, they write their last will and testament, give their home and all they have to those they leave behind.
If, with my paws, I could do the same, this is what I’d ask……..

To a poor lonely stray I’d give my happy home; my bowl and cozy bad, soft pillow and all my toys;  the lap, which I loved so much; the hand that stroked my fur and the sweet voice that spoke my name.

I’d will to the sad, scared shelter dog the place I had in my human’s loving heart, of which there seemed to be no bounds.

So, when I die, please do not say, “I will never have a pet again, for the loss and pain is more than I can stand.”

Instead, go find an unloved dog, one whose life has held no joy or hope and give my place to him.

This is the only thing I can give………….  The love I left behind.
