This is the second in a series of diaries highlighting animal rescues around the country and noting and celebrating the work they do to help animals who have no voices but ours to speak for them. I have long wanted to start a rescue but lack the resources or time available to do so right now so this is my attempt to do my part. I hope that these rescues will benefit from the kindness and benevolence of the community here at Daily Kos. I chose this rescue, Rescue Farm in Indiana because it was suggested by a commenter in the first diary. They are an amazing organization and worthy of Kossack attention and care.

An update from some adopters:
First, I wanted to let you all know what a positive experience I had visiting the farm yesterday. Your property is beautiful! Every cat and dog is truly blessed.
I'm not exaggerating when I say that KIRK IS THE BEST DOG EVER! His good indoor behavior has exceeded my expectations. No accidents of any kind, goes into his crate with no problems, and doesn't beg excessively when we are eating. His previous owners must have done a great job training him, because he is incredibly well mannered.
He is also fantastic on walks. Today we went for a 2mi stroll around Butler's campus and he was the perfect gentleman. He gets a little worked up about squirrels, but is otherwise a really good boy. He gets excited when he sees other dogs, but this is a behavior we are working on.
I plan on signing him up for obedience classes soon, if only to socialize him with other dogs in a structured environment.
Kirk is truly a gem, and we feel so lucky to have found him. Thanks for taking such good care of him these past few months!

And a thank you from the organization to a donor who helped them get this past awful winter!
We would like to thank the fine folks at VanHorn Tint Accessories in Ellettsville for getting us through a very cold winter. Their generous donation of 10 gallons kerosene, a propane heater and propane, and many gallons of water was a real life-saver for our sweet pooches here. Thank you so much!
