Why We Rescue

The Starfish
Author Unknown
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once there was a man who would go to the ocean to do his writing.   He had a habit of walking along the beach before he began his work.  One day he was walking along the shore.  As he looked down the beach, he saw a woman moving like a dancer.  He smiled to himself to think that someone would dance along the edge of the surf, so  he began to walk faster to catch up. 

As the man approached, he saw that the woman wasn't dancing, but instead she was reaching down to the sand, picking up a starfish and  gently throwing it past the breaking waves  into the ocean.

The man called out, "Good morning! What are you doing?" 

The woman looked up and replied, "Throwing starfish back in the ocean."

 
"I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?" the man replied.
 
"The sun is up, and the tide is going out, and if I don't throw them in they will die" said the woman.
 
"But, don't you realize that there are miles and miles of beach, and starfish all along it.  You can't possibly make a difference!" said the man.

The woman listened politely, then bent down, picked up another starfish and threw it into the sea, and replied,

"I made a difference for that one."

The volunteers at RU4Me Pet Rescue are dedicated to being the woman on the beach. One by one, we've made the difference to thousands of lives. 
 
We need the help of caring friends who will become part of our team.  We are always needs foster homes, volunteers, sponsors, and donations. As we "pick up the starfish", we need to provide our rescued dogs and cats with medical care, a loving temporary home, and finally a forever family.   

Please consider joining our team of volunteers, fosters, sponsors, and adopters.
