"Hear our humble prayer, O God, for our friends the animals, especially
for animals who are suffering, for any that are hunted or lost or deserted
or frightened or hungry; for all that must be put to death. We entreat all
Thy mercy and pity, and for those who deal with them we ask a heart of
compassion and gentle hands and kindly words. Make us, ourselves, to
be true friends to animals and so to share the blessings of the merciful."

| Over the past year we have learned the dog pounds, humane societies and animal control facilities are overcrowded. These pets are being euthanized simply because there is no room for them. We work with area animal control personnel and foster as many dogs and cats as we can. Over the past year we have saved over 200 animals in our small organization. Below are a few stories of our fostered pets. |
| We need foster homes! Please consider opening up your home to a dog, cat or kitten. Our rescue provides the food and vet care. To help, please fill out our Volunteer Application |

We attended the Deer Forest Petting Farm auction in late September. We were
able to purchase (Thanks to wonderful donations from the best people in the
world) 4 donkeys, and a mare and her yearling colt. After getting them home and
vetted, teeth floated and farrier trims- we are happy to report that the four donkeys
and the mare all have been adopted into great homes. We couldn't be happier with
these adoptions. What love and prayer can do. Thanks to everyone who donated
to this auction. It is comforting to know they sleep well and are loved and happy.

future if something should happen and that
new owner can not care for the pet any
longer. We never want our animals to have to
worry for their lives again.

Forrest continues to grow and develop his legs so he is now able to walk on his
own. He wears a large dog harness so he can have help getting up if he falls. Our
vet takes x-rays of his legs often to make sure they are developing correctly.
Please consider being a sponsor for Forrest and help us help him to grow into
the beautiful horse he will soon become.
