Journey’s End Animal Sanctuary June 2015 Newsletter Vol. 16, Issue 1 journeysendsanctuary.org www.facebook.com/journeysendsanctuary

Pops Hello, my name is Pops; One day, I was thrown from a truck-- My ripe old age is seven. Let me tell you, that was no fun. Life was once a living hell There was mass confusion and fright! But now I’m in hog heaven. Where to go? Which way to run? When I was young, my teeth were pulled, Eventually, the police took me I was forced to fight bad Pits. To a rescue where there was no sorrow. My abode back then was a bare cage, For a year, though, I was in limbo, Now I reside at the Ritz! With no plans for a tomorrow. One day, the rescue went belly-up, They took all the dogs but me! Why did no one think I was worthy Of a chance to be happy and free?

My friend Gina brought me to Journey’s End Where they discovered I was blind, Now Dr. Priehs takes good care of me. He’s the best ophthalmologist you’ll find! Florence, may I get my learner’s permit?

My current itinerary is rides in our Hyundai With visits to schools with the kids. The days are full of fun things to do; I don’t want to put on the skids!

Come visit me, get a gummy kiss, And there’s always time for a hug. You’ll be left with happy memories

Hand me the wrench And your heart will feel a tug.

Make the bed? I thought you said break the bed!

Parts are missing, but the hearts are all there Grover, Lisa, Misty, and One-Eyed Jack, You can call them rambunctious and quirky, All are minus one of their eyes. You can call them words of all kinds. Still they run and twirl with a single eye, There are two things you can’t call them, Chasing lizards and bees and flies. And that is cross-eyed and blind.

Continued on page 2 PartsParts… continued

Our one-eyed horse is Misty, Never had a blanket or stall, She was much loved all of her life, One-Eyed But now she has it all. Jack She’s older than Methuselah And lays down flat to rest, Lisa Don’t even try to fly–spray her, She’ll put you to the test! Grover She has a very favorite treat (No, it’s not a fajita…) What she really, really likes Powder Are bananas called Chiquita!

Powder and Casper are both albino And have a jelly bean for an eye. Their acrobatics defy the Wallendas! That’s the truth…would I tell you a lie? Misty Once they have met you, they’ll never forget you, You’ll be instant friends, not strangers. Casper high-fives, Powder sits and gives kisses; Tri-pod They could qualify as Canadian Rangers! Casper

Pepper Ann, Precious, Tri-pod and Danny

Danny All have limbs that aren’t right. But to look at their bright, shiny faces, You’ll witness a happy sight. Danny was offered wheels --- no go! She walks on two front legs (why not?), We asked her how she does that; She said, “I’ll make do with what I’ve got.” Pepper Ann Now we’ll talk about our two best friends, Though and Snow are infamous . There’s a lot to be said about them, The main thing is, they’ve got guts. Don’t stand in their way or invade their space, Precious They’ll mow you down and run over your toes! It’s a race to the gate; the first one’s the winner, Chasing balls and chickens! So it goes…

Others come with unseen wounds, Starving stomachs, pain, a broken heart. None come looking for sympathy, But to forgive and accept a head start. Some come with youth on their side, And stay for many years. Skippy & Snow Some come for a very short time, But all are missed with equal tears.

“Rumors of our wealth have been greatly exaggerated…” It has been brought to our attention by multiple sources in the community that there are some commonly accepted but mistaken notions about our financial situation. We have recently learned that some believe we inherited over a million dollars, and another rumored belief is that we are fully funded. Neither of these beliefs is true. Given that the sanctuary subsists solely on donations from our supporters, it is very important to dispel these false assumptions. Journey’s End has not acquired wealth, nor are we being fully funded; on the contrary, we completely rely on the continued donations of our generous supporters which enable us to operate, often on a month-to-month basis only, and sometimes just barely. As always, we are deeply thankful for your support, and we do not want misinformation to create a belief that it is no longer needed. The ongoing generosity of our loyal supporters continues to be the only way Journey’s End is able to remain open.

For those supporters who wish to set up automated monthly donations using Electronic Funds Transfers (EFT) please contact us at [email protected] and we will provide you the necessary information.

We are averaging 70 phone calls a week asking us to accept animals, but unfortunately we cannot save the world, as much as we dearly wish we could. Our criteria for accepting animals now must be limited to only homeless animals from the streets who also have special needs.

Engaging warp drive, Captain. We like your shirt.
