Eileen & Emily

A 501(c)3 Non Profit Organization

I think rescue is a beautiful thing. I'm an animal lover and enjoy trying new things. When my mom told Eileen and I about LIGRR we were very excited! We kept bugging our mom to fill out the application form so we could foster. Rescue is a hard thing. So our mom told us that we can't keep every dog, and when the dog finds a home we should be proud. When giving the dog to its new owner, you feel sad. Everyone asks us how we do it, we respond “We must keep in mind that the dog has a place to call home and it will be happy there.” Fostering is a hard thing to do. But once the dog is adopted, you feel proud. When we got our first foster, Woody, he was a mess! We gave him a bath, and he was very over weight (165 pounds) so Eileen and I had to exercise him. He got 3 tumors taken off in surgery and about a month later, he was doing great! He was the sweetest dog so our family decided to adopt him. Eileen and I do get attached to the dogs, but we know one must go so we can foster another. Although some fosters are harder then others, we do our best to get them ready for a permanent home.

Eileen and I also enjoy the fundraisers. We get to meet other rescues, and say nice to see you again to the rescues we already met. Even though it's tiring to the dogs and us, we have fun with it. When I talk about LIGRR to my friends, I feel so proud. I feel that being apart of LIGRR and helping out is a great and wonderful thing, I'm proud to be apart of it.
