Throughout time, learning has been a constant and new challenges faced. While we hopefully continue to grow, we’re considering a name change with the hopes of supplementing progress. With this change we’d hope to reach more people and demonstrate our efforts with more legitimacy. I think people tend to shy away from our rescue because the name is a little too specific, and perhaps a little too “cutesy,” therefore I fear we’re not taken seriously, causing our dedication and efforts to be overlooked and bypassed. As a result, I think having a name that stands out and signifies professionalism might be the way to go. Am I wrong? Tell me what YOU think!
Hi Allison, I have no idea. If it was me trying to decide I would ask other people in rescue to see what they think. Maybe a more rescue generic name would make a difference. When I was looking at petfinder/great pyrenees, I noticed Marshall/Doc and then when I read your story about him, that’s what got me. Your blog is awesome, I wonder how you could get that out to more people? Not everybody does a write up like you did for Doc. His story really touched me along with the sad picture of him. He’s no longer sad!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah!!!!
You’ll always be my hero.
You are so sweet, Nancy, thank you!
