C.A.R.E Animal Rescue.

guess what this post is going to be about?

If you know me well you know that I have a love for animals, that could almost be described as obsessive or unnatural... ha.
 
so it wouldn't surprise you to know that i am a frequent visitor to Pets Mart in Orem, because it is close to my work.
 
When i work a double shift, sometimes in between shifts i will go work out, but sometimes i will walk to pets mart to look at the Kitty's.
 
there are various reasons i do this, one of them is my love for animals, the other is that for some reason that i don't really understand, I feel happier after i go and play with the animals.
 
so one day when I was especially frustrated with work, and couldn't handle it, i left on my break and walked to pets mart, this day was just like any other except there was a group of people doing dog adoptions there.
 
I started talking with them, and told them about my day kinda, because well people who are like me like to share things, and it was probably obvious how frustrated i was . I don't hide things well.
 
so Margo, the lady in charge sent me out to walk one of the dogs. he made me feel much better, and I made a friend with Margo. she gave me treats, and we chatted about her organization, she still gives me treats :) because she considers me part of her clan.
 
I have been back several times and I fully support her cause. having worked at the Lindon animal shelter i know the Hell animals go through when they are in the shelter.
 
Margo goes into shelters, or has people give her dogs that are unwanted and fosters them out to people, the people who foster them are provided food, and they then help the dog to learn skills so that the dog can be a better pet.
 
when they take the dogs to pets mart, people can then take them home for a weekend or so and see if the pet is a good fit for there family. if it isn't they give the dog back to Margo , and owe nothing. if they like the pet they can decide to adopt it.
 
I think her organization is really ,really, cool, and I'm hoping to be able to help foster a dog for them if i can.
 
the organization is called C.A.R.E Animal Rescue.
 
I'm happy that there are animal people out there like me that do things like this. Its funny, animal people get along with each other like runners do. talk about someones pet you have a friend, talk about running shoes or races and its the same thing.
 
its like our own little community..
 
anyway that's all. like them on face book and share there page if you think its worth it!
 
all life is important to me. except bugs.. but even they serve there purpose.
