The Rescuer’s Creed
I promise I will take your unwanted animals.
I will heal their wounds, their, diseases, and their broken bones.
I will give them the medical attention they need and deserve.
I will nurture their starvation and give them a warm place to sleep.
I will spay and neuter them and vaccinate them against the diseases that can harm them.
I will care for them and honor them.
I will buy them blankets, balls, and toys, and teach them to play.
I will speak softly to them.
I will try to teach them not to cry, not to fear, and not to hate.
I will whisper sweet, kind, gentle words into their ears, while gently trying to stroke away their fear, their pain, and their scars.
I will face their emotional scars and give them time to overcome them.
I will socialize them, potty train them, show them dignity, and stroke their fur,
But most of all, I will teach them Love.
And if they have endured too much, I will walk them over the Rainbow Bridge.

Rescuer's PrayerNow I lay me down to rest
I pray my soul can stand this test
Of watching critters lose their homes
While owners gripe and cry and moan
I long for strength of spirit that
They'll find a loving home again
Where they will know a loving heart
I can't do much, but it's a start
And spare me from the owner's pleas
About the baby's allergies
Or how they're moving out of state
Or spitefulness 'tween cat and mate
Please keep me sane while dealing with
The woman who bought as a gift
A wriggling tiny ball of fluff
That now is playing way too rough
Remind me I should bite my lip
When confronted with "he grew too quick"
"I didn't know he'd get so large"
"He seems to think that he's in charge"
Protect my heart when I hear them say
"I think we'll breed our cat one day"
Sometimes I think it'll break in two
Each day brings trials harsh and new
And if I die before I wake
I pray one hopeless soul you'll take,
My tears are gone, my faith is bare
Lord, please hear my rescue prayer
