Since 2006 I have been a client of Pets Are Loving Support. When I first heard about the organization I was very reluctant to believe that there was actually someone out there who would not only help me with name brand pet food for my golden retriever, Sadie but would also help me with her yearly exam, shots, flea and heart worm preventative.
When I first rescued Sadie from a puppy mill I was in great health and had a wonderful job. Little did I know that less than two years later I would be diagnosed with cancer. This in turn led to many treatments which eventually took its toll and I was unable to continue with work.
The worst part for me was with no income other than the small disability benefits I eventually received, I had no one to turn to that could help me insure that Sadie received the same care she had been getting when I was well. I was frantic.
All that changed as a client of P.A.L.S. For the past 4 years Sadie has received the same quality care from this organization that I was accustomed to giving her before becoming sick. The most important part is that Sadie has been able to remain with me which has made my days a lot more tolerable just having her near. She has been through thick and thin with me and has become my best friend when a lot of my other friends left me because they did not understand my illness.
Unfortunately due to the late stages of my illness I can no longer take care of her and family or friends are not willing to help me care for her. I called Kevin and he has been working with me to help find her a good home, one that I can feel at peace with knowing she will receive as much love as I have always had for her.
I spoke almost every day with Kevin for about four weeks. He came to see me on many occasions and spent time getting to know Sadie and understand exactly what I was looking for. A few weeks ago I met Sadie’s new family. My only concern in life was leaving Sadie and not knowing how she would survive, but that is no longer an issue. I do not know what I would have done without PALS.
I just wanted to send this letter to you in hopes you would publish it on your website so that anyone reading it can truly appreciate the incredible services and the vital role that your organization plays in the care of pet companions to those of us who are desperately in need.
