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.
