We know how important it is to have a safety net and be able to fallback on trusted help whenever the need arises. Unfortunately, for smaller outfits this is often the case. The heart and soul of these places means that they will jump into action when they are needed, not when it is convenient or when they have the funds available. These places are powered by full blooded men and women and don't hesitate or think twice to do the right thing right then and there. They will go out at night to rescue a litter or kittens, follow a stray dogs for weeks to gain his trust and get him of the streets, and will not hesitate to sit with a veteran who has PTSD on a moment's notice. Because these moments in time are important to the living beings in need and the need is immediate and can't wait. And those people don't wait: they do what's needed when it's needed.
