Voice for the Voiceless

Aug 15, 2020

In mid-August of 2020, Big Dog Ranch Rescue received a heartbreaking call. Rescues in the Virgin Islands, St. Thomas, St. John, Tortola, and Vieques, were facing hard decisions. COVID and a very unpredictable hurricane season were presenting new challenges to their small but mighty rescue facilities. With tourism to the island closed, donors, adopters, and potential transporters went from thousands during the busy season to a screeching halt of zero.


When we received the call that some of these shelters were going to have to euthanize for space we could not stand by and allow that to happen. Big Dog Ranch Rescue along with some very key partners jumped into action to mobilize and bring these dogs stateside. Tara Lordi of Weedoo Boats came forward to fund an entire cargo flight dedicated to getting condemned animals off the islands and brought stateside where they could be adopted.


Rescues on the island face specific challenges. There are less opportunities for adoptions, space is limited, and they are very vulnerable during hurricane season.


This rescue gained coverage in a dozen publications, including People magazine.

The skins make Agario even more entertaining. Seeing a huge cell covered in a funny meme or recognizable flag while it dominates the arena definitely makes the game more colorful and memorable.

Reading this made me think back to the summer I spent volunteering at a local shelter for refugees. I remember one night when a young woman, barely able to speak English, tried desperately to explain how her family had been separated during their escape. Her eyes were filled with fear, but there was also a fierce determination to be heard. We didn’t have a translator, so I sat with her, held her hand, and simply listened. https://share.supernotes.app/sting+win+switch+olympic/quelle-méthode-de-casino-brésilien--melbet-côte-d'ivoire-convient-elle-à-votre-jeu-en-2026- By the end of the conversation she managed to convey enough details that we could locate her missing brother. The relief on her face was priceless, and it reminded me how powerful it is to give someone a platform, even if it’s just…
