Our life began to change the day we rounded a corner and right in the middle of the road was one of the saddest sights we had ever seen. Lying in the middle of the road was what we thought was a puppy: nothing but a skeleton, sagging skin, almost completely bald with mange, covered with fleas and ticks. Without thought or hesitation we jumped from the car, reached out and scooped up this little guy, rushing him home to bathe, feed, and care for him. Little "Snickers" was so weak upon giving him a bath that night that he collapsed in our arms. We didn't even know if he would live through the night. The next day the vet gave us no hope that he would make it...he had been undernourished for so long that his vital organs had been compromised. He also said that our "puppy" was almost a year old and had been starving for a long time. We are happy to say that little Snickers did make it and is still with us today.
Little did we know that this was to be the beginning of our calling and our purpose in the years to come. For the past eight years, since the day we found Snickers, we have rescued over 600 dogs and 34 cats. Now on any given day, Rescue K911 has over 100 'little ones' in our care.
