“I haven’t posted much lately because since July I had taken on a task that literally took every second of what little spare time I had, helping One of A Kind Pet Rescue through a crisis—losing their medical staff to Big Corporate Vet Clinics. This ended this week when their new doctor started. It was a privilege and honor to help them. I want to share with my local vet colleagues what an incredible place and people they are. I sadly admit I had many misconceptions about them, as many of you do. But this group is unlike any I know. When they say, no kill—they mean it. Even pets that are unadoptable due to complex and expensive medical conditions receive lifelong comfort in foster homes and complete coverage of their medical issues. The lengths they go to save these pets is extraordinary—pets pulled off the street, literally out of gutters, from death row in pounds, or left to die by the people they loved. The high level of medicine and behavior training they do for these critters is incredible. Decisions made are never about money – only about the comfort and welfare of the pets. As they restructure their plan with a new doctor, I urge all my colleagues to embrace their work and help them build back better! (where have I heard that expression before?). Their greatest flaw is trying to help too many, do too much. Thanks to everyone up there [at One of A Kind Pet Rescue] working for the love of animals. You are my heroes.”
