DOGS that is! The KY Great Dane Rescue has had the privilege of saving the lives of 21 Great Danes from KY, OH and TN from the day we started in October 2011. Our family has personally fostered 1/3 of them.
Sometimes it gets very wild and busy. And sometimes the rescue takes over our time and takes time away from other things. I asked the kids this week if they want me to stop rescuing and they all shouted No! They said they love all of the fosters we have had and love helping the danes. They see it as their mission too which makes me so proud.
I hope that the emergency surgeries, dramatic rescues from shelter death-rows, healings, bonding and ultimately adoptions are giving them a big story to be a part of. I once heard Andy Stanley's talk about giving your kids big stories to be a part of because if we don't someone will. Someone someday will have a big, exciting, ungodly story they want my children to be in and I must have a better one to capture their imagination and make the other story look like what it is, a scam. Drugs, sex and partying will look really inviting if the home-story is lame.
So while I hate to see these emaciated, sick or injured Great Danes suffer, I am SO grateful my family can be a part of their story.
