Rexi and Her Family Stay Together

 

Rexi Keeps Her Loving Family
Rexi is  a 7-month old pup who comes from a loving home of eight children. Rexi was about 4 weeks old when she was found wandering along Hwy 1. Ryan, 16 years old now, found her, took her home, cleaned her up and has been a loving owner since. Rexi went into heat and numerous male dogs showed up at the family's house. Because Ryan is still in school, and the family is on a limited budget, they felt they had no choice but to find new home for Rexi. The children were devastated. They raised about $24.00 selling chicken eggs for their cause, but it was far from what they needed.
 
 That is when Animal Advocates stepped in to help. Rexi was brought to the vet and spayed. That night when Rexi was brought back to her home, the family drove down to meet her at the ferry. The van seats eight, so seven members of the family showed up to greet her leaving the eighth seat for her.  She is adored by her family and will soon again be seen playing soccer, running around the basketball court or climbing the hills with the kids. 
 
By the way... the $24.00 was used to buy Rexi a new soft bed.
 

There has been such a flood of appeals for help this year that we may not be able to reply very quickly or at all to more appeals.  AAS is now so well-known for its experience in all animal welfare and rescue matters that we are asked for advice and help from all over BC, Canada, the U.S. and the world.  For years I have answered each and every appeal with detailed advice that I have learned from 20 years of rescue, advocacy and animal law. Our high standards are well-known to the public, that is why we are so often asked for help and advice.

We are currently working on so many projects that I am sorry to have to say that we may not be able to respond to all the cries for help we hear as quickly as we want to.

AAS ethical standards are simple and straightforward, but a lot of work: Every rescued dog is given the exact same love and care that I give my own dogs.  Anything less can't be morally justified.  To weigh the costs, to kill, or to rehome without paying to make the dog well in body and spirit is not true animal welfare: it's moving as much product as fast as possible and to demand money for unwell product is a business, not a calling.
