Thank you for letting me know! I knew something might be in the works, but didn't know for sure or that it had happened. That is great! I think they will be a wonderful rescue home. :) Ooh!

It's really great to virtually meet you. NYCSR started by accident also. Then Snickers just kept pushing everyone around and the rest is history. We've only been at it for 2 1/2 years now. My 7 month break in Indiana helped me a lot as far as not flaming out. I'm trying hard now to recruit "new blood" so everyone can take sanity breaks as needed.

A member of the Hill Country Meetup realized they no longer had time to take care of their shiba properly. Sad I know but the TX couple is a wonderful match for him. He just arrived yesterday (Monday, August 16th) but he seems to be settling in nicely. Thanks for all your help! Jenna,

And THANK YOU for all you do for the animals. I know it's been said, but you DO make a difference and the TX couple is Proof! All you can do for your NY group is be there as a moral support to them personally to help them not get "chewed up and spit out" so quickly and to allow them the space and understanding if and when it does happen. It does happen often apparently the 5 year mark is some sort of milestone as I look at those around me. People beyond that have gotten into a groove that allows them another 5 or 10 years it seems and I am looking for that groove myself honestly. I've run the only Akita rescue in Arizona - AARTA - www.AkitaAdvocates.com We began in 2004 and started basically by accident. We're responsible for saving and re-homing close over 450 dogs at this point. In 2008 we re-homed 90 dogs, mostly Akitas but started with some others too last year, I have no idea how many we've done this year but a bit less I believe since we no longer are boarding dogs commercially until I get the bills all paid off :) THEN, my plans are BIG -- Like YOURS!! Hang tough & remember your "why". =) Cheers, Deb Hi – I just came across Snickers on FB (and of course became an instant fan) — love your blog! And THANK YOU for all you do for the animals.
