Kanab, Utah, April 22, 2008 — Adrienne has gone to the dogs, and it’s just great for her. Over the last several years, she took on volunteer work. First she found a ‘shelter’ for dogs which was actually kind of a collector’s nightmare, with scores of dogs kept in small pens, all day, every day. There were ups and downs, but in the end the place was shut down and Adrienne placed 96 of the dogs in homes and in other shelters. A better life for all those jailed puppies.
She’s been studying the Secret, and she made a vision board. She was living in a little apartment in Mount Shasta, and not really finding work that touched her heart, and then one day she woke up, and she thought …
“Call Best Friends.”
Best Friends, in Kanab Utah, is perhaps the best animal shelter in the United States. They shelter thousands of dogs, but they also rescue horses, cats, pigs, goats, and all animals.
She called them.
When they heard of her experience, they were interested, but their process is to have the prospect come and volunteer for two weeks. So she and I worked together and got her to Utah, where she loved the place. Located in Angel Canyon, the rear of the sanctuary overlooks the Grand Canyon. Everyone can take their own dogs to work with them. There’s a vegetarian cafe on the premises. She made friends right away.
Then, guarding her gasoline like gold, she made the trip back to Northern California. A few weeks, some more telephone interviews, and they said, “You’re hired.”
Off she’s gone, moved to Utah she has, and Lizzie the dog has gone with her. Quite possibly I will never see Lizzie the dog again. I miss my best friends.
