The Payoff for Rescue

Here is an email we received and it explains in nthe simplist terms why people get involved with rescuing cats and dogs.  Of course it is great for the dogs and cats, but what is not noticed so often is what a huge benefit it is to the person adopting.

Hello SPCA!
 
I've had my Ray for about 3.5 years now and she is still one of my favorite parts of my day... She's the first thing I see in the morning as she stares me down for breakie and the best thing to come home to after work- wiggling around with her happy smile!
 
When I first got Ray she didn't really like men, she would always bark and hide behind me, until she got to know them... Now, my fiancee, Terry is her great protector from the unknown noises of our neighbours and thunderstorms, as she seeks shelter buried in his lap. I'm so happy to see how far love has brought her and everyday I'm thankful for her and you guys for your organization.
 
I've attached a few photos... Typical Raydar life.. She even went (gentle) tubing this year and LOVED IT!!!
 
Thanks for giving me one of the most important pieces of my life!
 
Sincerely,
 
 
Steph and Ray
