This is an amazing and wonderful story. Bittersweet because of Christine's illness and passing. But so very very moving. Thank you for sharing this Libby. It does bring tears to your eyes, for sure.
I know that Thane is scared...of what might happen in the future. I hope and pray he will find a successor he can trust.
Those dogs are so beautiful. That poor girl who was chained for 14 years....
Bless Thane and Christine!

It is amazing. It makes me feel good when I hear about these stories. I'd hate to see what happens if something were to happen to him. Hopefully with all the help and publicity they can help him set everything up.

I think he is going to get help. If the rescue can become a charity and something be set up to take in funds and the land become property of the charity, they could have some stability. It could become a permanent rescue facility. Then it wouldn't be totally dependent on Thane's health and income. Anything like this reaches a point where it must change a little to survive permanently. He could get people working with him so he can do more.
I really hope it all works out. What he is doing is bigger than the few dogs he has with him at any given time. There are so many seemingly hopeless dogs that need him. I hope he inspires other shelters to reconsider what they mean by hopeless.

Thank you for starting this thread, Libby. A wonderful and inspiring story. Christine worked hard for the dogs whilst she was on earth, and no doubt is continuing to help them on the other side. Thane is still hard at work with his rescue - and many blessings to him for all the wonderful things he has done to help those poor dogs.
