Dogs have a friend, and a voice, in rescuer
Lou Sisk is joined at the animal shelter by her granddaughter, Ava.
“When I lost my dog of 13 years, I thought I was going to go off the deep end. She was a Labrador Retriever. She was my love. I wasn’t ready for another dog, but I came to the shelter and started looking. Then I started taking pictures and trying to save them. It just evolved from thereFinding homes for rescue dogs is 24/7 endeavor
“I work closely with the staff here and at several other shelters in the area to find homes for these animals. I now have a huge network of people on Facebook I work with to find fosters and set up rescues all over Texas, the United States and even Canada.
“One little Chihuahua, Ellie, weighed 16 ounces when she was brought here. They were going to euthanize her because she was very ill and she wasn’t adoptable. I immediately took her home and started with the fluids and reviving her. I really got attached to her. But just last month I let her go to an adopter, a wonderful family. She was up to 2 pounds, 8 ounces. I get pictures of her all the time. She’s just one of those you know you have to help, because she was going to go down.
“These animals don’t have a voice, so we have to be their voice to save them.”
