Data... It doesn’t seem like the most appealing thing in the world, especially when you’re in the middle of saving lives. I can assure you, it is truly one of the most important things that every organization should play their part in. If you are located in a state that requires you to report your [...]
Australia is known for it’s wild life, but it isn’t until you arrive that their passion for saving their native species truly becomes apparent. It’s hard to miss. You see educational signs in every park, wildlife sanctuaries on signs lining highways and even the largest animal shelters here have wildlife hospitals. This week I toured [...]
To make living possible in a new country where we have not yet found jobs, we decided to pet sit, in trade, for free accommodation. Our first roommate is Karma, a dog that shows alarmingly similar characteristics that I find in myself. We’re both a little needy, love to cuddle, get excited about outings and [...]

After a week in Los Angeles visiting friends, over 16 hours on an airplane, getting sick and getting an ear infection, I FINALLY am starting to settle in here in Brisbane, Australia. Now it’s time to start learning about the shelter systems, programs, laws and other beneficial [...]
This post is extremely emotional for me to write for many reasons, but I feel it is important to give all of our supporters thorough updates on what is going on... On October 18th, 2016 I will be moving out of the country to Australia. I will be there about the length of my working [...]
Zephyr was saved from a high-kill shelter in Roswell, NM just hours before he was scheduled to be euthanized. This beautiful 6 month old kitty got his 2nd chance at life! He arrived at Demi’s Animal Rescue covered in fleas – but otherwise seemingly healthy and a total sweetheart. Just about a week after he [...]
The saying, “I’m just killing time” has been bothering me lately… I am guilty of saying it, thinking it, or actually committing the crime just as much as anybody else. It is a horrible thing though, really. It is my birthday today. It forces me to look back on how far I have come as [...]
