Good Monday everyone. I know many of my friends did not spend week-end exactly how they would want to, cleaning the pound, driving dogs/cats around, doing vet/airport runs. Yesterday I had a long drive which gave me a lot of time to think things over. Rescuing animals took large part of my life. And recently I started to feel it took ALL of my life. I started to have nightmares and a feeling of constant worry for no reason. I usually get on e-mails and FB after walking dogs in the morning and many times I found myself closing it at 8 pm being exhausted and not being able to do anything else. This is why I am taking a break. Too much pressure has been laid on me lately, people attacking and demanding me to sort out all the stray dogs, judging my decision of which dogs we choose to help and which we unfortunately cant help. When i started to get over 30 messages just in the morning I realized that this is not going to work. So at this point I am not taking over any more dogs. Cyprus Husky Rescue has already over 20 nordic babes for re-homing and it is just 2 people in our organization: Nadina Moustra and I. We take care of airport runs, crates, paying off vet bills. kennel bills, keeping track of dogs, finding money etc. Nadina has a full time job and I just moved in to another country. I still commit to the dogs of other breeds I promised to help and to the huskies/mals and samoyeds we have now. But as of today please dont tag me on posts as I will not be making any decisions or commitments I can not fulfill. Despite many attempts to recruit volunteers to do at least 1 hour per day networking no one really agreed on helping. We still will be helping finding homes, but we can not help with kennels and foster homes at least till September. And this is a break I am taking, so I will be now focusing on the dogs that are waiting for a very long time. I will be volunteering 3 hours of my time per day, mainly in the mornings. I want to line up again that the dogs I already took in going to be helped and homed. But at this point I do not have energy, time and resources to take any more dogs in, unless we clear up spaces in foster homes and kennels. Thank you for understanding, I will be back when I am a bit more rested and relaxed.
