PAYING TRIBUTE TO MARNIE BROWN AND THE WASHINGTON COUNTY HUMANE SOCIETY (WI)
In the near future, I will be taking you on a tour of Animal Shelters, Horse Rescues and other Animal Welfare organizations to get a feeling of what their needs are and how we might be able to help them best.
Recently I visited The Washington County Humane Society (WI) to get a first hand look at how many of our Canine and Feline friends are waiting for a home.
I was amazed at how many of our fur friends are abandoned, neglected and/or simply dropped off because the owner felt "they" (our fur friends) just didn't work out.It was there that I met Marnie Brown (Executive Director) who took me on a tour and told me "their" stories.
I would be untruthful if I said that I didn't get emotional. I could not believe how anyone would abandon these precious souls. And the cats? There were far too many to count.
As I took my tour, I witnessed another living angel to the animals. Marnie Brown is simply one of the most caring people I've ever met. One can only imagine what it's like to be in the trenches everyday caring for our fur friends until they have a new home.Marnie Brown and her staff underscore the reason I started Animal Fairy Charities. I didn't realize that most, if not all local Humane Societies are independent and depend solely on donations to keep their operations running. Which leads me to ask the question, "what would we do without these folks? Where would these animals be today be without The Washington County Humane Society (WI)?"
There are many who care and are willing to sacrifice and put in their time to help animals however, some just don't have the financial resources to begin and or to maintain operations.If you have the chance, please log onto http://www.washingtoncountyhumane.org/ to see all of the animals that need a home. If you cannot adopt, please consider making a donation. It's always because of "you" that friends like Marnie are able to make a difference.
Today Animal Fairy Charities would like to pay tribute to Marnie and to say "Thank You" for choosing the path to help the helpless.
