A Rescue Within a Rescue: The Story of a Dog’s Second Chance

In the heart of winter, a shivering and scared dog was found abandoned in the Avalon Dog Park. The dog was a rescue, previously adopted from a shelter with the promise of a forever home, but now left to fend for herself in the cold. But just when all hope seemed lost, a dog lover named Sarah came to her rescue.

Sarah, a seasoned dog owner, had always had a soft spot for rescue dogs, and she could see the potential in the shivering ball of fur in front of her. She took the dog in, giving her a warm and safe place to stay, and soon enough, the dog began to show her gratitude and love.

As it turned out, the dog was a quick learner, and soon became well-behaved and obedient. She loved to play and go on long walks, and she had a special talent for making those around her smile. Sarah knew that she had found a special dog, and she was determined to give her the forever home she deserved.

But just when everything seemed perfect, Sarah faced a new challenge. The dog, who had been terrified of water, would not even go near a bathtub. Sarah, determined to help her furry friend, took things slowly, and with patience and understanding, she was able to help the dog overcome her fear.

And so, the dog who had been abandoned twice, finally found her forever home with Sarah. She was no longer a shivering ball of fur, but a happy and confident dog, loved and cherished by her new family.

This rescue within a rescue is a reminder that every dog deserves a second chance, and that love and patience can work wonders. So here’s to the dog who found a home, and to Sarah, the dog lover who gave her one. May their story inspire others to open their hearts and homes to rescue dogs in need, and to see the love and joy that they have to offer.

Next time you consider getting a pet follow in the footsteps of Sarah and Jax

A Home for a Homeless Hound: The Heartwarming Story of a Dog Lover and an Abandoned Pup

On the outskirts of Saskatoon, surrounded by lush greenery and prairie grasslands, lies the picturesque Avalon Dog Park. For many local dog lovers, it’s a place to relax and enjoy the company of their four-legged friends, to run and play and savor the fresh air. But for one special dog, it was a place of abandonment and loneliness, until a chance encounter changed his life forever.

Two years ago, a scruffy little terrier mix was found wandering aimlessly in the park, without a collar or any identification. He was skinny, scared, and alone. Concerned citizens tried to find his owner but to no avail. He was eventually taken to a local animal shelter, where he was given a temporary home, but it was clear that he needed a permanent family to call his own.

Enter Sarah, a dog lover who had gone to adopt a dog from the Saskatoon Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, SPCA. When she first laid eyes on the little terrier, she was struck by his sweet face and gentle disposition, despite the rough start to his life. She knew in her heart that she had to take him home, to give him the love and stability he so desperately needed.

And so began a beautiful friendship that has flourished over the past two years. Sarah gave the terrier a warm and loving forever home, and he repaid her in kind with endless tail wags, joyful barks, and unconditional love. They quickly became inseparable, and Sarah couldn’t imagine her life without him.

The little terrier, now a plump and happy pup, has become a regular at the South West Off Leash Recreation Area over in the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area in Saskatoon, where he’s known for his playful nature and friendly demeanor. He’s a beloved member of the local dog-walking community, and he never fails to bring a smile to the faces of everyone he meets.

Sarah is grateful every day for the chance encounter that brought her and her furry friend together, and she’s proud to have given a forever home to a dog in need. She’s a testament to the power of love, and a shining example of how a little kindness can go a long way in making a difference in the life of an animal.

So next time you’re walking your dog in the South West Off Leash Recreation Area, take a moment to reflect on the incredible bond between humans and their canine companions, and remember the power of a little love to change a life. And who knows, you just might meet your own furry best friend in the process.

“Every friend whom not thy fantastic will but the great and tender heart in thee craveth, shall lock thee in his embrace. And this because the heart in thee is the heart of all; not a valve, not a wall, not an intersection is there anywhere in nature, but one blood rolls uninterruptedly in endless circulation through all men, as the water of the globe is all one sea, and, truly seen, its tide is one.”Ralph Waldo Emerson

“I want to help disabled children to have tree friends to whom they can go for healing. They have got to choose their own trees and love them. Trees don’t disappoint; I know from experience, if a child makes friends with a tree, it can be so wonderful.” Richard St. Barbe Baker

“St. Barbe’s unique capacity to pass on his enthusiasm to others. . . Many foresters all over the world found their vocations as a result of hearing ‘The Man of the Trees’ speak. I certainly did, but his impact has been much wider than that. Through his global lecture tours, St. Barbe has made millions of people aware of the importance of trees and forests to our planet.” Allan Grainger

“The science of forestry arose from the recognition of a universal need. It embodies the spirit of service to mankind in attempting to provide a means of supplying forever a necessity of life and, in addition, ministering to man’s aesthetic tastes and recreational interests. Besides, the spiritual side of human nature needs the refreshing inspiration which comes from trees and woodlands. If a nation saves its trees, the trees will save the nation. And nations as well as tribes may be brought together in this great movement, based on the ideal of beautifying the world by the cultivation of one of God’s loveliest creatures – the tree.” ~ Richard St. Barbe Baker.

I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see. John Burroughs

Speak to me my friend of Him

Now friendship may be thus defined: a complete accord on all subjects human and divine, joined with mutual goodwill and affection. And with the exception of wisdom, I am inclined to think nothing better than this has been given to man by the immortal gods.” ~Marcus Tullius Cicero

Rabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861 – 7 August 1941),Richard St. Barbe Baker OBE (9 October 1889 – 9 June 1982)
Rabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861 – 7 August 1941) spoke to Richard St. Barbe Baker (9 October 1889 – 9 June 1982) on their parting thus;

“Speak to me my friend of Him
And say that He has whispered to thee,

In the central hush of the storm
Where Life puts on her armour in silence.
Say that He never seeketh thy straying footsteps

In the tangle of the paths
Speak to me my friend of Him
And say that He has whispered to thee.”

“Wilderness is not a luxury but necessity of the human spirit.” –Edward Abbey

Friendship Week ~ Third week of August. Aug 20 – 26, 2017

“For years, I’ve charged my batteries on trees. You have to select a special tree friend. When I came out of hospital after a serious operation, I chose a Cedar of Lebanon. Cedar itself comes from the Arabic word meaning strength.” ~ Richard St. Barbe Baker

Friendship is a silent gift of nature..
More old .. more strong..
More deep.. more clear..
More close.. more warm..
Less words.. more Understanding..

Ralph Waldo Emerson speaks thus; We have a great deal more kindness than is ever spoken.

The heart knoweth.

The effect of the indulgence of this human affection is a certain cordial exhilaration.

Our intellectual and active powers increase with our affection.
Let the soul be assured that somewhere in the universe it should rejoin its friend, and it would be content and cheerful alone for a thousand years.

The other element of friendship is tenderness.

Every one must have felt that a cheerful friend is like a sunny day, which sheds its brightness on all around. Sir John Lubbock

A friend may be nature’s most magnificent creation.”

― Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Even a tree adept may prefer to make friends with a single tree of his or her choice. As on entering a crowded ballroom one is drawn to one person, so among trees special friendships are formed and develop through the years.~Richard St. Barbe Baker.
