There is simply no better feeling than nursing a puppy (or litter of puppies) whose momma was hit by a
car right
before giving birth and seeing those puppies placed in loving, permanent homes; or watching an emaciated and scared pound dog blossom in front of your eyes and learn to trust; or taking in a cat who was dumped at the pound because her owner passed away and no one in the family cared enough to take her into their home.
