Jaque lives in the best fowl home you can possible imagine. He is free to move around during the day and in a pen at night. He says, "Every since I was little I knew about this place in my dreams. It is like I have come home."

Sophie says, "Can we adopt a human so there is a human per dog?"

Rose has one of the most sorrowful stories I have ever heard. She has withstood a huge amount of brutal torture and neglect. I will tell more of a story in another post. Here she says, "I have a new friend who is a chicken. She keeps me company and we kind of look a like." Do you see her chicken friend here? She is under Rose's head.

"I would like to do something with my mom (person). Maybe she could make a needle point of me. She is very careful with her hands....When I was on the streets I was so hungry I even ate lettuce....When we are at the cabin I dream I am a wild cat...daddy smells nice at night."

He was rescued out of a house that had over 24 cats. He says, "It is better to have one cat than many so you can pay attention to the one." At home he would like, "A bird feeder up high." I met Milo in the office of the pet store Noah's Apothecary. He says about the office, "This room is fascinating. It needs some color in it."

Sabur's name means patience. He says, "I don't believe in patience because patience is waiting." He also says, "This is my third home. I have found that if you run away you can always find a better one. I could stay here forever."

"Before I thought I knew everything and I didn't know anything. Now things make a lot more sense. Before I was confused."

This is Bee and Leo. They have recently been rescued from poor situations. Bee tells about a situation she had with her shoer, "I kicked him in the thigh and I thought it was funny. We both thought he was hurt really bad, but he was OK."
Leo talks about why he has nightmares, "People tied my legs when they first put a saddle on me. I know it was a long time ago, but I still think about it."

This rooster got hurt by his new people by accident. He can be very aggressive. He says, "Here I have learned that when people hurt you they are very sorry. They don't laugh. This is very unusual. Before people thrived on hurting roosters. Right now I kind of like being hurt because I am learning that my new people love me and what it means to have human friends."

"It is important to foster other dogs because sometimes they get sick just because there is a lack of love in their lives. It is an important job to be a good friend."

Oreo's person lost her previous dog, Malley, in a house fire. She rescued Oreo after the fire. Oreo explains, "The fire happened from heaven so that Malley can be with mom from heaven and so that I can be with mom on earth."

This is Bean. I found her hopping down the sidewalk of a main road. I was unable to locate her owners so Bean traveled cross country on an airplane to live with my friend.

Laura: What was your life like before your present home?

Bean: I use to live in a cage. It was a hutch in the yard. Many days and nights would go by before I would see my people. When my people came to see me they were nice to me. They would hug me and kiss me. I loved them.
My hutch was always dirty. It was hard on my feet because I would have to walk on wire and pee and poop through the wire. The wire was always disgusting. Sometimes my people would forget to give me water, but other times they would bring me carrots and lettuce.
One day, I opened the latch to my hutch with my teeth...

What is it like being a Pit Bull?

"I truly like being a pit bull, but not always. When I was in the shelter, I heard someone saying that all dogs like me will bite. I would never bite. They also say that shelters put us to death more than any other breed. I don’t know if that is true but that scared me.

I like my body because I feel strong even when I am shy inside."

Do you think people treat you differently because you are a Pit Bull?

“Oh, yes. Most people have fearful eyes when they look at me. I use to get scared when

Suraco this little mustang explained, "When I was a baby I was frightened by a turkey vulture flying out of a tree. My mother laughed at me. When the helicopter came to capture us I was reminded of that big bird, but the helicopter was even more terrifying"

Michael and Micah were rescued from Beirut, Lebanon. http://animals.beirut.com They are survivors of war. Here are what they have to say:

Laura: Michael and Micah what was war like?

Michael: The hardest part of where I came from was loosing my family and smelling burning flesh. Everything I knew to be safe became dangerous. Peoples’ eyes turn cold and the birds go silent.

Micah: I miss my children and the smell of my Lebanese mom cooking. I miss the smell of the earth and the laughter of my family.

Laura: How did you survive?
