Soft spot

So I'll confess. I haven't gotten on my blog since September. I actually moved on to another blog that I'm doing with one of my best friends about movies. And I only thought to get on this one because my wonderful boyfriend started a blog and I logged on to post a comment on it. But of course, me being me, logging on made me look at what I had posted last, which was about a dog ban in New York that I am completely against, and my brain working like it does, this got me started thinking. Well, in all honesty, I have been thinking about this for a while now.
I just don't understand how people can throw out their pets. My sister and I went for a walk last Thursday night down our road with our puppy just to have a little bit of sister time. On our way back, imagine our surprise when an adorable little puppy just walked right up to us with this look in his eyes like "Help Me!" Well, my sister and I are both big animal lovers, so of course we had to do something. My sister scooped up the puppy and we took him home with us. There were no houses around where we found him besides ours and our neighbor's and they don't have any puppys so we know it didn't come from around where we found him. After convincing our dad to let us keep the puppy on the back porch over night, we frantically searched for a new home for our precious find. I wish that I was allowed to have pets in the dorm building that I live in so that I could have taken him myself, but since that wasn't a possiblity we were forced to call every number we could think of trying to find a home. All the local shelters were full so we weren't exactly sure what we would have done if we couldn't find a home. Litterally 10 minutes before the time ran out on the deadline that my dad gave us to find it a home, the mom of a guy I graduated with agreed to take the puppy. I felt so proud as I loaded up the puppy with a towel for him to cuddle with, a treat for him to snack on during the drive, and a bag of puppy chow and took him to his new home. When I delivered him, the puppy instantly bonded with it's new owner. I was a little nervous knowing that they already had a few animals, but even they instantly took to the puppy. Since they have had the puppy, they have named him Ender, begun to spoil him, and have posted lots of pictures and even a video of the precious puppy. I feel so proud to have had a part in saving this adorable puppy. We think it is a Catahoula Hound Dog and it is doing great.
This has really made me think about how much I really want to help animals. I hate the thought of animals being abused or neglected and want to do anything in my power to stop it. One day I hope to open up a shelter and to rescue alot of dogs and cats personally. I hope that other people will follow suit and help out any animals they come across.
