goldie544, there are not as many people from out west as there are from other areas of the country, especially the eastern regions, on this board. it's very hard when a dog you are working for is euth'd. but if that causes you to stop working with a particular group or message board then doing rescue work may be too difficult for you. everyone here cares a great deal about all these dogs. we all chant the rescuer's mantra every day i'm sure.
you can't save them all. you can't save them all. you can't save them all.
you can't save them all. you can't save them all. you can't save them all.
