Staying on the subject of dogs, I received a newsletter this morning from Harmony Fund with updates about Sasha’s Shelter in Serbia. It literally made my eyes fill with tears or deep gratitude.
As you probably recall from past posts, they were up against a May 1st deadline, or the city would take the 750 dogs to certain death.
Laura Simpson, the founder, has been helping underdogs around the world for over 30 years. And if a mountain needs to be moved, she moves it. She rallied and kept going and didn’t give up, even when all they were seeing was darkness.
Thanks to people like us in Empowering Animals, a community of animal lovers who shared what they could, little by little the money was raised and construction is underway and on schedule to move all 750 dogs to their new, safe home.
Now, some dogs will go on to find their forever homes, and some will have a safe, permanent and loving home with Sasha, because they have nowhere else to go.
Sasha and Laura are sending their love and appreciation to all of us who helped move this mountain for the underdog.
This is why I created Empowering Animals. To bring us together to make a difference in animals’ lives.
Thank you from my heart to yours for being part of Empowering Animals.
Small acts add up. 💚🐾
