Rescued Souls

Anyone who knows me, knows I am a dog person. If given a choice between dogs and people, the dogs win every time.  That being said, I want to take a moment to share that not all rescues are dog specific. There are many rescues who take in horses, cats, chickens, guinea pigs, pigs and more. One such rescue is the Shannon Foundation.

Today I shall share some photos of a few of the "other" rescues who make this place home.

"Auna" Paso is an elderly lady in her mid-30's who resides in the valley. In this photo, she has ventured outside to bask in the sunshine that has been elusive for the last few weeks.  Suffering from cancer, she has experienced a rough winter. Even in the freezing cold though, she knows the warmth of unconditional love.

Another senior is "Ty Murray." Ty is a long-time resident who is more than ready for some warmer weather.  Many years ago, he was found on the side of an interstate. He was a newborn and it would seem his mother gave birth while traveling to slaughter. More than likely he fell through the slates onto the grassy shoulder of the highway. One lucky dude!

Isabeau is a 40 year old beauty who is feeling the years just a bit.  She has been quite ill this winter but as of this writing is doing much better.  Although she lost weight, she is eating and getting back to her old self. With the warmer weather, a recovery is hoped for

Bert aka Dweezie Zappa is a young man who will eventually grow to be 300 to 400 pounds. Other rescues wouldn't take him cause he couldn't be adopted but the Shannon Foundation could. So Dweezie Zappa will live out his life here, enjoying the country life.

Purdy and Lovey all cozy on their cat tower. Although they have a play area outside, they aren't going anywhere cold.

And now two feathered residents:

We've all heard of "all-inclusive" resorts. Here we have an "all-inclusive" rescue/retirement farm where everyone is welcome.  The Shannon Foundation also welcomes donations of all sizes. Become a monthly donor, a one-time donor or go to their Facebook page to watch for needs that come up unexpectedly. 

Here is information:

There are others living out their lives at The Shannon Foundation.  I hope I've tweaked your interest enough to check it out for yourself. 

Have a beautiful Sunday.

Peace and Blessings!
