I saw the same thing with one person or husband and wife rescues out of their homes when I did the United States of Owls where I found a rescue or place to see owls in every state, and that really got me interested in promoting the rescues so much. It’s so much time and effort to do the work, and then they have to beg for money to do it. It seems crazy, and I like using my time here to promote the work they do.

The ones that have time for media are helpful to me, but that’s also why I don’t encourage anyone here to support any specific places, but rather whoever their local rescue is. I don’t know how bad economic disparity is in Germany, but with the shear size of some of our states, it leaves some people having to cover like a fifth of the area of Germany with just maybe 1 or 2 rescues, and that combination had to be very difficult!

My last dog was rescued by a network of volunteers. She was rescued from New Orleans, treated in Memphis, and then flown by a private pilot up to Philadelphia. The person just flies for fun picking up rescue dogs from around the country.
