Faith is a Funny Thing

January 17, 2016 by CVRR

Faith is a funny thing. Not knowing the end of the story but trusting that the author would never lead you astray. I have always found people who lack it to be a little sad….and I don’t mean just spiritually and religiously…I mean faith in karma…life….humanity… In one another. This rescue is based on that mutual faith.

As the “leader” I think it’s the natural assumption that our strength as a rescue community comes from the volunteers faith in me….that I wouldnever dive into shark infested waters without making sure it was first safe for them….but the heartfelt truth of it all, is that my bravery to plummet head first into the waters unknown comes my faith in them….that should sharks be there to greet me, when I look to my left and look to my right, there they will be. Fighting right beside me. Because the honest truth is I don’t know the first thing about business. I am a dreamer not a corporate suit…but amongst this family is brilliance in every form. Writers, dreamers, artists, computer nerds, science geeks, businessmen. 52 volunteers….Talented minds in virtually every field. So although I may not know how the story ends…I know I am going to have one hell of a great time writing it. And I know that with friends like these, my faith will never waiver.

Pictured is my daughter Juliet and one of our rescue dogs “ravioli”. She is our youngest volunteer and the “president of poop”

Have a good night friends. I can’t wait to see what tomorrow will bring.

Moseley, “Mose,” or “Mo-Mo” is a truly special dog. At 2–3 years old, he has a calm and steady temperament with just the right amount of playful energy. He enjoys running in the yard, keeping watch over the perimeter—keeping an eye out for squirrels, rabbits, and groundhogs. He protects my garden from these worrisome visitors. He’s incredibly loyal and loving. Moseley gives a few warning barks when someone approaches the door, but once guests are inside, he welcomes them warmly. He’s especially gentle and affectionate with children and truly enjoys being part of a family.Inside our home, he’s respectful and easygoing. His best friend is Ducky the cat, and their quiet companionship is a joy to witness. Moseley will sometimes give chase, but only when Ducky invites it. Though he has access to furniture, he typically prefers his own bed—this photo is a rare moment when he made an exception.Moseley has been patiently waiting for the right match. He is up to date on vaccines, heartworm prevention, and flea/tick treatment. His adoption fee is $225.If you are looking for a loyal, gentle dog with a kind heart and steady presence, Moseley may be the one. To meet him, please apply at cvrrescue.org.He deserves a home where he can be loved as deeply as he loves in return. ... See MoreSee Less
