The Emotional Roller Coaster of Animal Rescue

July 08, 2015 - 4 minute read by The Team at Dr. Harvey's

A Day In the Life of an Animal Rescuer

If you have ever been involved in animal rescue, you will certainly understand this heartwarming story from our friend, the Amazing Angie, who works tirelessly to help the Potcakes at Abaco Shelter. For people who devote their lives to rescuing animals, it is a passion that pulls at the heart strings. Every day is filled with wonderful highs followed by heartbreaking lows.

Abaco Shelter, Abaco Bahamas

started Project Potcake to help this small shelter that rescues, houses, feeds and cares for these indigenous dogs of the Bahamas. We have been inspired by the wonderful volunteers who work tirelessly to make a difference for these animals. As we get to know these people better, our admiration grows.

Not Just The Dogs..

Angie shared this story with us today and we were compelled to share it here. This is not just a story about animal rescue, but a story of human compassion. It is a story of making choices and it is a story that shows what these volunteers face daily. This is the emotional roller coaster of animal rescue.

Out of the Shelter

Not only does this small shelter take in sick and starving dogs, they go out and feed the feral dogs of the island. Many of these dogs would starve without their efforts. It is a difficult and exhausting task to find and feed these feral dogs.

In Her Own Words…


All He Wanted Was School Supplies & Dog Food

Angie continues the story of her encounter with the little boy:



The Day Continues with More Ups, More Downs
