My Pledge

Layla Lou, who came to me in a desperate time of need. Every day she grows more loving, gentle, compassionate, affectionate, appreciative of our relationship, and every day I feel the same for her.

My pets are all rescue animals. I rescued them, and they, in turn, rescued me.

I respect their right to life, safety, food, shelter, compassion, love and kindness.

I hereby pledge that for the rest of my life on earth I will never purchase an animal 

from a breeder or pet store.

When an animal comes to me seeking shelter, compassion, and love,

I will give all that I have to this animal.

For the rest of my life, all animals that share my home will be rescue animals. 

I will rescue them, they will rescue me.
