I was once the proud owner and companion of a handsome prince named Bernie Counts.  He was my hero.  He loved our Mother Earth and spent his life protecting it.  He went to work each day to sample streams and rivers for signs of pollution.  If he found the water to be contaminated, he took those responsible for it to court to make sure they didn't do it again.  When he came home, I was always there to greet him and keep him safe.  But one sad day, the 25th of June 2000, he fell asleep and never woke up…so I was left alone.  My companion's nephew, Garrett, adopted me, and I now have a new home.  But I will never forget Bernie, my hero.  I was lucky enough to have someone dear adopt me, but so many others aren't so lucky. That's why I wanted to start a haven for lost and lonesome pets like me, so they will never be left alone.  This shelter will be in honor of him because I know he would like it so much.  So please do what you can to help.  The world is a very lonely place when you have no one to love you and no home.

 

Thanks so much,  SIERRA
