Working at a shelter can be so difficult, Ann. I’m so frustrated that people just don’t get how great rescue animals are (and that so many people refuse to get their animals altered, grrrr!)

I still have a lump in my throat, Michelle. Hazel is an amazing creature, gentle and wanting to be loved. And, I, too, am so glad that you took her in. She is a special little gal and I hope it will all work out for her to stay with you. I am so, so proud of you.

Thanks Colleen, Jenn, and Paint Girl! You all are so right, abused and neglected dogs are heartbreaking. All of my dogs have always been rescues, but I have never been involved with the actual rescue of a dog that has been this severely abused and neglected. I can’t wait to share her progress and story with everyone. Thanks to everyone for the support. =)

You were in the right place at the right time to see Hazel roaming the streets. I totally believe that it was meant to be that this dog came into your life. You are amazing for stopping and taking her in. I will never be able to figure out how people can be so selfish and inconsiderate to abuse and neglect any animal. I get so disgusted when I hear about any kinds of abuse, whether human or animal.
I so hope that it works out that you can keep Hazel, I can tell you are totally attached and devoted to her! Good luck Michelle!

Wow, Michelle, reading about this just breaks my heart, for Hazel, for you, and for all those abandoned dogs. You know I have a big place in my heart for rescues, and I am looking forward to signing up to be a volunteer at my local animal rescue in the next few weeks. After all, they did unite me with my second best canine friend

I am proud of what you did. It takes guts, and a huge heart. Love you so much, cuz, I hope that everything works out for you to be able to keep Hazel. She definitely is your dog.
