I posted about the group HelpSaveOne.org and the animals on death row that they do their best to save. I was forwarded this in an email and it touched my heart so I just wanted to share it with everyone because there are so many people no involved in the rescue process that think “it’s just a job”. What they don’t seem to realize is the tug of the heart string and the emotional wreckage that comes out of leaving animals behind knowing that their will be death and not that “happy ending” everyone wants to believe.

I just received this from transport (Throw Away Pups) and she wrote this after leaving the shelters tonight.
Through the Eyes of a Transporter
By Brandy Barnes
Throw Away Pups
The endless phone calls, the multiple emails, pulled in many directions, time restraints and pressures, to know so many animals depend on you.
To drive to the hell holes of the “land of free” more like the land of euthanasia.
To walk up and down the halls, 100’s of dogs looking at me “are you here for me?”
Having to tell so many of them sorry, I stop and pet each one, some of them tug so deeply at my heart, that I call many of my rescue friends to beg them for room, and when I have to leave them behind I cry and tell them I will try for next time, most of the time there is no next time, the ones that make the ride show there appreciation in their eyes and with lots of kisses.
This is for ones I leave behind I AM SORRY.
For those who ask what time will I be there, I will get there when I get there, I have so many to say goodbye to.
