Introduction to Behind the Scenes of an Animal Sanctuary: Tales of Love, Dedication, and Heartache
Manage episode 376960898 series 2927737
Behind the scenes of an animal sanctuary or rescue, there is a lot of love, dedication, and sadness, and the people involved work hard to provide a safe place for animals in need. These dedicated folks work day and night to make sure every animal gets the care it deserves.
Some animals come to the sanctuary or rescue with terrible injuries caused by humans, and the dedicated folks at the sanctuary or rescue give all they have to earn their trust and help them heal. It can be tough to see the scars these animals carry, but it only makes the team more determined.
Every small success is a step towards healing and shows that love can overcome even the worst pasts. But there is also sadness because there are not enough resources or space to help every animal. This is a heartbreaking reality for those who want to save them all but can't.
Working at an animal sanctuary or rescue takes a lot of strength to heal both bodies and hearts and to keep going, but it's not for the faint of heart or those who can't go the distance.
In this #lifewitholddogs podcast season, I had the privilege to speak with several different, yet all amazing women who started an animal sanctuary/rescue, and they were gracious enough to share their stories about how they got started, what a typical day looks like, the highs and lows of sanctuary/rescue life, how the hand the stress, and what they would tell someone who expressed an interest in starting a sanctuary or rescue.
