Why Rescue?
|
The sad reality is that large breed dogs,
like the Saint Bernard, are typically the
first to be euthanized at shelters through
out this country for no other reason than
their size.
What an ironic fate, these beautiful dogs
that at one time rescued human travelers are
now desperate for humans to save them.
Yes, the Saint Bernards that are
world famous for their heroic attempts at
saving lives in the snow covered Alps of
Europe are nowadays themselves being the ones
needing a helping hand.
Saint Bernards are large dogs, large hairy,
slobbery, dogs. The little
'furry' puppy quickly grows up. When
people who didn't fully grasp the concept
decide that they are no longer able -
for what
ever reason - to provide a home for
the dog there should be another option
available.
We try to provide that option as often as we
can. Sadly, there aren't enough of us,
or enough money in the 'coffee can' to
possibly provide the temporary home,
veterinary work, or even food for all the
orphaned saints. We do what we can,
when we can, and sometimes even a bit
more.

|
Through rescue, these dogs are given that
much needed second chance at finding a real
loving 'forever' home. For some we are
literally their last option, others come
into rescue directly from a home that for a
myriad of reasons can no longer provide for a
dog.
Our goal with each one is to provide that
much needed step in finding a warm loving
home for as many of these guys as we possibly
can.
|
Saints that have entered rescue are placed in
temporary 'foster' homes through out the
state and given not only needed medical
attention, but also the warm loving
environment if a real family.
The rescue dogs are evaluated and trained (to
a certain extent depending on length of time
in rescue). The time spent in rescue
also allows us to better match a dog to a
family. This should give everyone a
better chance at finding that one 'forever'
home.
We truly are trying to make the world a
better place, one saint at a time.
