The Rescuer’s Creed
I promise I will take your unwanted animals.
I will heal their wounds, their, diseases, and their broken bones.
I will give them the medical attention they need and deserve.
I will nurture their starvation and give them a warm place to sleep.
I will spay and neuter them and vaccinate them against the diseases that can harm them.
I will care for them and honor them.
I will buy them blankets, balls, and toys, and teach them to play.
I will speak softly to them.
I will try to teach them not to cry, not to fear, and not to hate.
I will whisper sweet, kind, gentle words into their ears, while gently trying to stroke away their fear, their pain, and their scars.
I will face their emotional scars and give them time to overcome them.
I will socialize them, potty train them, show them dignity, and stroke their fur,
But most of all, I will teach them Love.
And if they have endured too much, I will walk them over the Rainbow Bridge.

Rescuer's Prayer
Now I lay me down to rest
I pray my soul can stand this test
Of watching critters lose their homes
While owners gripe and cry and moan
I long for strength of spirit that
They'll find a loving home again
Where they will know a loving heart
I can't do much, but it's a start
And spare me from the owner's pleas
About the baby's allergies
Or how they're moving out of state
Or spitefulness 'tween cat and mate
Please keep me sane while dealing with
The woman who bought as a gift
A wriggling tiny ball of fluff
That now is playing way too rough
Remind me I should bite my lip
When confronted with "he grew too quick"
"I didn't know he'd get so large"
"He seems to think that he's in charge"
Protect my heart when I hear them say
"I think we'll breed our cat one day"
Sometimes I think it'll break in two
Each day brings trials harsh and new
And if I die before I wake
I pray one hopeless soul you'll take,
My tears are gone, my faith is bare
Lord, please hear my rescue prayer

Second Chance Pet Adoptions was founded in 1989 in Raleigh, North Carolina. We are a volunteer-driven, non-profit No-Kill animal shelter. Our mission is to rescue abandoned and homeless cats and dogs, provide them with excellent care and carefully match each with the best home to ensure a lifetime of safety, love and companionship. No animals are ever euthanized to make room for more animals. Because of your support and the support of others like you, Second Chance touched the lives of nearly 900 abandoned and homeless pets in 2007.

Despite there being a ban on commercial whaling, Right now the Japanese whaling fleet are in the southern ocean whale sanctuary, where they plan on slaughtering 935 minke and 50 endangered fin whales, Goverments of the world are not doing enough if anything to stop this, I urge people to boycott Japan and please sign petitions and write to Japanese embassies around the world to put pressure on the Japanese Govt, as well as your own govt. Whaling is totally unnecessary, barbaric and cruel, whaling needs to end today!!
Recently, the Northern Territory government announced plans to kill 3000 camels by means of aerial shooting in the township of Docker River. Thirsty and in search of water, the camels converged on the community of Docker River. Instead of assisting the community by building barriers to keep the camels out of the township and investing in long term solutions such as research into birth control or the construction of a manmade waterhole for the camels to drink from, the government are planning to herd the animals away from the town, shoot them and leave their bodies to rot. Despite the outrage of thousands of concerned people from around the world, the Northern Territory government has given the green light for the cull to go ahead and thousands of scared camels are now being annihilated by marksmen from helicopters.
This has been a very tough year. And yet, I still have more to be Thankful for this year than any of the years past. One of my Blessings that I am Thankful for is your Friendship. All of the riches in the world could not bring the smile that one sincere friend can:)
What a Thanksgiving it would be, if I could sit down to a huge table full of all of my dear MYSP friends.
Have a wonderful Holiday and know that you are thought of most fondly by me every day.
Happy Halloween from all of my Whiskers & myself.
Annabelle is still feeling poorly from her UTI. But her temperature is
at a high-normal and she's eating again. So she is on her way to
recovery.
We hope you have a safe evening with lots of treats:)
hugs, Marcy & the Whiskers
