Saintly Bernards Rescue

Dedication. It is a word that in the animal rescue world- is not to be used 'lightly'. The definition of dedication is "self sacrificing devotion".

A friend of mine runs Saintly Bernards Rescue. She has become an educator, a trainer and an advocate for the breed. I have yet to find ANYONE who is as determined as her to HELP these abandoned, abused, neglected and homeless dogs. She has a heart of gold and opens her home up to any Saint Bernard in need of her help and her aid.

She started her rescue about 10 years ago with her magical and "delicious" Zeus. Zeus was an extremely ABUSED animal- who only new the touch of a human as a bad thing. He started it all. She rehabbed him through training, behaviorism and dedication. She never once gave up on him, said it was just to hard or that she couldn't do it. She trained Zeus to be a house dog who trusted people. He may have single handled changed her life. Hundreds & hundreds of canine lives have been saved because of Zeus. She makes it her personal vendetta to overcome the hardest obstacles and give these dogs a well deserved second chance at life.

I personally admire someone who has decided that her passion to rehab and re home Saint Bernards is TOP priority. She does without at times, to save them. She looses sleep, to save them. She does whatever it takes, to save them.

I have to say, because of Saintly Bernards Rescue & crew & honeybear ;)- I too, am a changed soul. Because of her advocacy and passion- I too, have changed my outlook on the breed as well as dogs. I know now how important it is to adopt, to donate and to foster. Small steps make big things happen!

When times get tough- she perseveres. Jamie & The rest of her amazing Saintly Bernards Crew deserve our help!
