The Reason We Do What We Do….
This little 6 month old boy was at Kaufman Killpen all alone, scared & unhandled. When we saw him we just couldn’t look away. We knew we had to get him out of there & fast. Once we got him out of there he spent time in quarantine & has made it home.

I had the opportunity to meet this sweet boy this past weekend where he and I formed a bond of love and trust. I am humbled by the bond I formed with him. The peace and calm I felt from bonding with him was one of the most amazing experiences of my life.

I walked into his pen with another member of the rescue and he handed me his lead rope. I stood there quietly waiting for him to see that all I wanted was to love him and not hurt him. I stood next to him, waiting for him to feel the love I had for him.

He started to lean into me and I placed my hand on his forehead and put my nose to his nose….slowly breathing in and out with him.

I took him out and did some basic groundwork with him. He followed me and when I said whoa he stopped and stood still. We worked on backing up together, moving forward together and desensitizing him to my touch.

This once scared and unhandled baby learned to see that there is love and kindness in a human's touch.

We continued to work together and I was able to rub his neck, down his back, his sides, under his belly and all four of his legs.

Once I gained his trust and he knew I was there to show him love and kindness I was able to lay the top half of my body over his back and just lay there while hugging him.

This beautiful and peaceful experience of bonding with a scared baby found at a killpen is exactly the reason we do rescue. It is our mission & goal to help as many forgotten souls to gain a second chance at love. After all the trauma, they deserve all the love we have to offer.

We are just so thankful we were able to give this sweet boy a second chance at a beautiful life filled with love.
