I'M FORWARDING THIS ON FOR A FRIEND OF MINE WHO CARES DEEPLY ABOUT THIS CAUSE.  PLEASE VOTE FOR THIS ANIMAL RESCUE TEAM!  LET'S ALL MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND HELP THEM IN THEIR ONGOING EFFORT IN SAVING ANIMAL'S LIVES....

Please vote for Heidi's Legacy they are the hardest working rescue & rescuers I know. All the animals I have submitted to you, who have needed help, have been helped by Heidi's Legacy & you. Please check out the list of animals they now have up for adoption. Now these babies are safe but still need a forever home. Yes, this rescue is one I take very seriously and totally support with all my heart. This rescue sent my Honey via hugs at a time, I didn't want another dog, how do you take another when you've had the best? Nikki Kaye was my soul mate and I still miss her, but Honey came at a time when my Sydney (granddaughter) really needed that human animal bond.  When Honey came here I knew this was meant to be (a sign from God) knew she needed to be here.  (and I'd get Lori later  Honey's story is very remarkable. She was set to be killed and I wrote Lori stating Lori the eyes are talking to me. You know how I get when they're talking to me.  They went to save two dogs that day but were too late to save Janice, she'd just been put down and they had the needle ready for Honey. Two days later she arrived here. I wanted her saved,,, I had no idea Lori was shipping her here I took her thinking I could find her a good home here, but first, this poor soul had lived her first year of life in a stupid crate. She wasn't potty trained, I can't tell you now how many pillows she ate. (ooops Steve still doesn't know about the Purdue pillow Didn't know what a leash was. She had zero training. And at 1 year old it took longer and many more patience. Finally got her all set to go and every single person that came to see her, she either insulted them by hiding behind me or making a bee line for the house.  This little dog wasn't going anywhere at the great displeasure of my feral cats.  Watching Sydney and Honey together I realized why she had been sent here, & we took fate as it had been dealt to us and just kept her (since she had no intentions of leaving anyway Honey has been with us for 1 year and 1 month now and is rotten & spoiled just like Sydney now. Both abused at one time now are safe & together. Thank you Lori for your insight and Heidi's Legacy (where Lori works)

Meet Molly. She's a gray speckled pony who was abandoned by her owners when Katrina hit southern Louisiana , USA   . She spent weeks on her own before finally bein g rescued and taken to a farm where abandoned animals were stockpiled. While there, she was attacked by a pit bull terrier, and almost died. Her gnawed right front leg became infected and her vet went to LSU for help. But LSU was overwhelmed, and this pony was a welfare case. You know how that goes.

But after surgeon Rustin Moore met Molly, he changed his mind. He saw how the pony was careful to lie down on different sides so she didn't seem to get sores, and how she allowed people to handle her. She protected her injured leg. She constantly shifted her weight, and didn't overload her good leg. She was a smart pony with a serious survival ethic.

Moore agreed to remove her leg below the knee and a temporary artificial limb was built. Molly walked out of the clinic and her story really begins there.

'This was the right horse and the right owner,' Moore insists.

Molly happened to be a one-in-a-million patient. She's tough as nails, but sweet, and she was willing to cope with pain. She made it obvious she understood (that) she was in trouble. The other important factor, according to Moore , is having a truly committed and compliant owner who is dedicated to providing the daily care required over the lifetime of the horse.

Molly's story turns into a parable for life in post-Katrina Louisiana . The little pony gained weight, her mane felt a comb. A human prosthesis designer built her a leg.

The prosthetic has given Molly a whole new life, Allison Barca DVM, Molly's regular vet, reports.

And she asks for it! She will put her little limb out, and come to you and let you know that she wants you to put it on. Sometimes she wants you to take it off too.' And sometimes, Moll y gets away from Barca. 'It can be pretty bad when you can't catch a three-legged horse', she laughs.

Most important of all, Molly has a job now. Kay, the rescue farm owner, started taking Molly to shelters, hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers. Anywhere she thought that people needed hope. Wherever Molly went, she showed people her pluck. She inspired people. And she had a good time doing it.

'It's obvious to me that Molly had a bigger role to play in life', Moore said,   'She survived the hurricane, she survived a horrible injury, and now she is giving hope to others.'

'She's not back to normal,' Barca concluded, 'but she's going to be better. To me, she could be a symbol for New Orleans itself.'
