WELCOME TO LIFE COMMITMENT DOG RESCUE.  RUSS AND TRACY  WHO RUN LCDR A NON PROFIT SELF FUNDED RESCUE BASED IN DERBY. OUR AIM  IS TO SAVE AS MANY UNWANTED AND ABUSED DOGS AS WE POSSIBLY CAN. OUR  PASSION FOR RESCUE STARTED MANY YEARS AGO AFTER A TRIP TO A RESCUE FOR A PUP!

 MY FIRST POUND BABY WAS MY BOY DEXTER WHILST I WAS AT THE RESCUE CENTRE CHOOSING OUR NEW FAMILY MEMBER.  THE DREADED VAN ARRIVED!

DID I REALLY LIVE IN A BUBBLE? OR WAS IGNORANCE EASIER?  AS THEY WERE LOADING THE VAN, ME WITH MY NEW PUPPY IN MY ARMS I LOOKED AT THE SAD EMACIATED STREET DOG WITH A FLEA ALLERGY  AND A MATTTED COAT,  HIS EYES WERE PLEADING FOR HELP, AS IF HE KNEW HE WOULD BE LOSING HIS LIFE HIS LIFE HIS LAST KIND TOUCH WOULD BE WITH THE VET WHO REALLY DOESNT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY ARE PUTTING THEM TO SLEEP EITHER.  I WORKED AT A VETS IN DERBY MANY YEARS LATER AND IT BROKE MY HEART WATCHING THESE DOGS COME IN ON A POLE TO BE PTS BECAUSE THEY HAVE SHOWN AGGRESSION, NO UNDERSTANDING OF WHY THEY SHOW IT.  THEY ARE SCARED THEY WRE ABANDONED AND THEY ARE HUNGRY.  WOULDNT HUMANS SHOW THIS FEAR? .  HOW COULD I STAND BY AND WATCH WITH THAT KNOWLEDGE IN MY HEART.  HE DIDNT DESERVE TO DIE NO DOG DOES.  WHAT WAS HIS CRIME?  HE HAD DONE NOTHING HE HAD JUST BEEN THROWN AWAY LIKE YESTERDAYS RUBBISH. YET HE WAS BEING OVERLOOKED BECAUSE HIS FUR WAS MATTED AND HE HAD EYE INFECTIONS HE WAS SCARED AND FORGIVE HIM IF HE WAS NERVOUS!  NERVOUS AND DIDNT WANT TO JUMP FOR JOY WHEN YOU LOOKED THROUGH HIS CAGE.  DID YOU KMOW HE WOULD BE PUT TO SLEEP IF YOU TURNED AWAY.  MAYBE YOU MIGHT HAVE CHANGED YOUR MIND MAYBE THE OWNER SHOUL D FEEL THE GUILT WE ARE FEELING ABOUT THE CONDITION THEY ARE IN. WELL HE  HE HAD SERVED HIS 7 DAYS AND WAS BEING DISPOSED OF,  AND DESPITE WHAT PEOPLE LIKE TO THINK HAPPENS TO THESE POOR  NEGLECTED BOY THE REALITY IS THEY WERE PUT TO SLEEP.  MOST OF THEM CAME INTO THE KENNELS AFTER BEING ABANDONED STARVING AND SCARED THEY ARE THEN POSSIBLY SHOWING AGGRESSION THEY HAVE NEVER SHOWN BEFORE AND NEED TO BE POLED IN BY THE DOG WARDEN.  INSTEAD OF COAXED IN BY A KIND HAND.  THEY DONT DESERVE THEIR FATE!

AND SO ON THE WAY HOME WITH A GERMAN SHEPHERD  I CALLED DEXTER AT THE SIDE OF ME WONDERING HOW I COULD TALK MY WAY OUT OF THIS ONE.  MY BOY LIVED WITH ME FOR THIRTEEN AMAZING YEAR AND WAS THE MOST LOVING BOY YOU COULD IMAGINE HECWAS DOG FRIENDLY CHILD FRIENDLY AND LOVED HIS LIFE.    AND SO THE RESCUE BUG REMAINED.

THE BUG THAT DOESN'T LET YOU SLEEP OR SAY NO!  THE LADIES WORDS REMAINED IN MY HEAD! "GOD BLESS YOU THE PUPS ALWAYS FIND HOMES THE OLDER DOGS GET PUT TOO SLEEP!  AND SO OUR RESCUE STARTED.  LIFE TIME COMMITMENT DOG RESCUE.  LIFE TIME BECAUSE ARE DOGS ARE ON A CONTRACT THAT EVEN WHEN THEY ARE REHOMED THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE SOLD ON TO ANYONE IF THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES CHANGE, THEY MUST COME BACK TO US SO WE CAN GO THROUGH THE SAME RIGOUROUS HOME VISIT TO MAKE SURE THEY STAY SAFE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THEIR LIFE.  COMMITTED BECAUSE WE REALLY ARE COMMITED TO HOME CHECKING EVERY ONE OF OUR BABIES TO MAKE SURE  THEY ARE NOT LET DOWN AGAIN.  NEVER WILL THE FEAR OF HUNGER AND SADNESS AGAIN.  WE HAVE 3 OF OUR OWN DOGS ALL RESCUE DOGS. OUR FOURTH BABY PASSED AWAY LAST YEAR HE WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BOY I HAD EVER KNOWN.  HE WAS MY WORLD AND OUR LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME WITHOUT OUR BOY STAN.  HE WAS AN ABUSE CASE CRATED IN APPALLING CONDITIONS A COURT CASE THAT THE WOMAN WAS FINED £100 FOR NEGLECTING 27 DOGS CRATING THEM 24/7.   HE WAS PLACED THERE BY A RESCUE ALONGSIDE ALL THE OTHER DOGS THAT WERE NEGLECTED AS OUTSIDE HOMECHECKERS WERE USED AS THEY REHOME AROUND THE COUNTRY.  WE DONT AND   THIS IS WHY WE AT LIFE COMMITMENT DO ALL OF OUR OWN HOME VISITS SO WE GET TO KNOW THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO ADOPT TO SUPPORT THE PEOPLE WHO ADOPT FROM US AND TO BE THERE FOR OUR DOGS IF WE ARE NEEDED THIS REMAINS OUR AIM  WITH  STAN WA VERY DAMAGED WHEN HE ARRIVED WITH US HE HAD BEEN PASSED FROM PILLAR TO POST  4 HOMES IN FOUR MONTHS AND THIS DAMAGED BEAUTIFUL DEAF BOY BECAME THE BACK BONE OF OUR RESCUE.  AND WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS..

STAN OUR BEAUTIFUL BOY WHO LIVED IN THE MOST APPALING CONDITIONS.  THIS BOY WAS AMAZING AND WAS A HUGE IMPACT ON OUR RESCUE BABIES.
