Well... in the past I couldn't do as much as I wanted to, due to parents.
- I've found this site, to improve the quality of care for my
GP, as well I'm always learning new things to help me with my own, and other animals in general.
- I've reeducated people about backyard breeding. I'm working with an orginization, internationally, to reeducate people about backyard breeding in horses (because slaughter is a big problem) but as well with small animals such as dogs, cats etc.
- I do try help some local equine rescues, and adoption programs find homes for their guys. I may not be able to foster or adopt at this time, but I can help spread the word.
- I've done some rescues/donated to local rescues as I can
My favorite little guy, a grey tabby kitten was the one who dedicated me to wanting to rescue and save animals. Sadly, he didn't make it (very severe and horrifying injuries) but he was a trooper all the way.
- I'm going to school for Veterinary Technology. I want nothing more then to save animals and educate people. I can see it now, bringing home little critters from the shelter (the students assist in the spay/neuters). I also wish to do rescues (equine and small animal) when its possible for me in the future, and if for financial reasons thats not possible, then definatly fostering!!
- I'm dedicating the rest of my summer to helping out the local rescues, and even Veterinary clinics as needed. Funding/donating is not possible for me at this time due to my financial situation.
- I prefer working with the challanging "problem" horses. Those deemed "dangerous." My own horse being one of those "crazy" animals, and while yes he can have his moments, I wouldn't trade him for the world.
There was another that I really wish I could have taken on. A 95% blind Thoroughbred mare, she was severly neglected and abused. Deemed dangerous due to only being able to see shadow-ish things, she was owned by a family friend who surrendered her to a rescue because she's a truck driver and boarding barns were neglecting her care... If she's not adopted out by the time I can afford a second horse, I'm promising her a perminant loving home.
- All of my animals current (horse, dog, chinnie,
cavy) and past, recieve nothing but the best. They get excellent care, and proper veterinary attention as needed. Quality foods, utd vaccines/heartworm prevention/flea/tick prevention/deworming, lots of love and great care, and lots of attention, regularly groomed, exercised and lots of work on training (training for the horses never ends).
- I spent the last month dedicating myself to bringing my
cavy back to health. I dedicated myself to doing whatever it took to being her back to health, no matter how much the vet bills. Many hours of sleep lost, lots of patients and arguing with parents. She'll be going back into the vet's for a checkup to be sure the URI has cleared up but she seems in good health now (very lively).
** I'm also researching into building her a C&C cage AND once re-evaulating my finances I can see about adopting her a cage mate.
- I'm still educating myself on rescues/shelters and why not to buy from a petstore. Its been horrifying and I want to educate people..
