Giving made good things happen for Anahim Lake reserve dogs

2010

Sky and Moon were running wild near the Anahim Lake reserve near Williams Lake BC until fed by a kind woman.  Here they are resting after a real meal...

Moon is the black male and Sky (they were named by their rescuer) is a female.  They are both most likely still young because unowned dogs are shot before they get much past a year.

October 26, 2010  I am writing to you from Nimpo Lake, 200 miles west of Williams Lake. I found two hungry dogs in the woods and one has a limp. I suspect they are from the reserve 20 miles away. My neighbor wants to shoot them but I asked them not to. I am on borrowed time because if the dogs get too close to their chicken barn they will shoot. They are lovely dogs with very gentle personalities. I am on a fixed income and have no way to transport them to a vet, nor do I have any place to put them because I have some rescued rabbits in my cabin. Is there anything you can do to help me? Pay for transport to help? Is there anyone who can adopt these two. There is nobody out here in the bush who cares what happens to these dogs. I am asking for some sort of assistance. I don't have a phone, only email.

AAS committed to helping to pay the transport and vet bills for Sky and Moon.

Thank you so much...I am blown away at how generous, caring, and amazingly helpful you are...which is a big shocker for me... and a relief. It is such a big burden caring so deeply for non-human beings to the point that I am ridiculed, thought of as some sort of nutcase among local bush-folk. I am told by my neighbour that rescuing animals is embarrassing. She said she wasn't going to dare tell her family and friends that I had the audacity to  feed two starving dogs. I should have let them die...or should have let someone go off and shoot them. Animals are considered to be not much more than inanimate objects in this area. It makes me sick... So thank you.
 PS. Sky is snoring her head off in the cabin by the door. Her belly is full and her dreams are warm and easy tonight!

October 27/10 I heard a dog in the bush calling during the night, and I suspect it is Moon looking for Sky. It will be tough because I don't have any sausage left to lure Moon with if I see him in my travels... which would be awful. When I get back I will do a search for Moon again. He sounds forlorned out there. I wish I could have gone out looking in the dark but that is unwise in this territory.
Sky had a comfortable night. She is still in the cabin, warm and dry. I will have to take her out and tie her up when I go to Anahim for food this AM. Maybe Moon will find her there. Sky is such a gentle girl... a real affectionate girl. I hate to put her on a plane to the big city...but I know I must.

I just took Sky up to one of my bird feeding stations up the hill, and up there there is no sign of moon. It is snowing heavily now.
