SAINTS

I've been there. A moving experience. A worthy cause, for sure.

Good luck! It sounds like a great cause, I hope you win your $!

A very nice article written by Michelle. I have never been to SAINTS, perhaps one day. It is wonderful to know that there are caring people who can assist animals in need. So many are neglected today I often wonder if having a pet is the right thing for some people. Pets can be such a comfort for a lot of people yet a burden for others. Thank goodeness for a place like SAINTS.

Great cause, way to spread the word...I love the blog!

Saints is an amazing place. It is a haven or perhaps I should say heaven for elderly and special needs animals who have no place else to go. Many of them have had a very difficult life because of ther problems and it is truly wonderful to see them settle down with consistent love, good food and excellent medical care.

i am a volunteer at saints and i see all the work and love carol and all her volunteers put into all the animals. it took me a little while before i actually went to saints to help out. i read the blog daily for awhile and then dicided i wanted to be a part of the team. her blog is both funny and deeply insightful as well as very entertaining. carol puts in long hours but if you saw all her animals you would know why. i could never look back now i am hooked. please vote for saints. lynne

Carol has had 18 family members ( her personal dog Bill and 17 animals that had refuge ) pass over the Rainbow Bridge this month.

All of them went loved, fed, warm, sheltered and away from the mental and physical pain that was part of their lives.

I think of SAINTS and I think of spiritual peace and love and compassion.

I think of Bill and the two chi's and Wilbur the pig and Copper the beagle from H*** who is such a coniving love,
and the horses and the epileptic cat and PIZZA (read Carol's blog for the explanation of pizza)

SAINTS is a wonderful place. It has such a peaceful atmosphere. And it takes special people to look after old, sick, frail animals that have no where else to go.

You have my vote.  Hope they get the $.

SAINTS has my vote.
Carol goes above and beyond....as well as her volunteers.

You definitely have my vote. Hope everybody's doing well :)

I am a volunteer at SAINTS and I see the incredible work that Carol and her volunteers do daily. There is so much love, sacrificing and selflessness that Carol gives to all the animals. I think her and her animals deserve to win!!!

Thank you all for your support!  I'm glad that I could at least spread the word about the wonderful things that Carol and her volunteers are doing.

the world really needs more places like this.

I'd love to feature these kind folks and their animal family in my Super Citizen Showcase...

Well Done This really is a worthy cause

You have my vote!...for sure a worthy cause.

my sister, lynne arnason, volunteers at Saints and is so proud of the work they are doing there that they hopefully will win the $$$$$.. so much love given to these animals and they could really use a break and get some $$$ so here's hoping Saints wins...

SAINTS is most definitely a worthy cause...if you haven't been yet, take some time out and visit. As others have said, it is a emotionally moving experience that won't soon be forgotten...

I am so pleased to see this lovely blog. I have been to SAINTS and it is a really special and endearing place. Thank you for writing this and of course my vote is yours. More important is the attention you have focused on SAINTS.

Hi Patrice,

Thanks for your support!  Just wanted to let you know that they are doing the final vote now.

I volunteer at SAINTS when I can (it's a 3 hour round trip). I originally went there out of curiosity and was hooked by the wonderful collection of crazy critters of all kinds and sizes. Last time I was there, I helped rake poop out of a pasture in the pouring rain for three hours. Sounds miserable? Not a bit. I was kept company by the pasture manager, an aloof llama, and two friendly donkies. The sheep preferred to find shelter.

I can tell you the male donkey gives wonderful nuzzles - a great substitute for human hugs. Afterwards I dried off inside and sat by the fireside, in the twilight, with Carol and surrounded by animals. Peace and tranquility reigned all over SAINTS as everyone snoozed except us. That alone shows the power of the kind of unconditional love and great care, that is provided by SAINTS, and is returned in trust by all of the animals who live there.

PLEASE vote for SAINTS. The money will be well-spent and stretched until it squeeks!

Sounds like you're doing great work. Keep it up. You have my vote.

Thanks for bringing attention to SAINTS and here's crossing fingers and toes they will get the much needed cash to help these wonderful animals.  I was there on year ago and I check the blog daily at their site.  Carol fascinates me each and every day with her wisdom and love that she puts into caring for these animals in need.  My heart was never so affected when I first walked in SAINTS and saw all of the crippled and broken animals.  The fire place was burning and they all had their special little beds.  This place will bring tears to your eyes if you have the privilege of ever seeing it.   The volunteers are there for Carol "on-the-spot" at all times of the days, however, Carol is the one that lives with these animals and her days are filled to the brim with very hard work to keep SAINTS running as a full-time employee out of the home as well. 

PLEASE SUPPORT THIS WONDERFUL HAVEN and give them your vote!

I am pleased to see Your Caring attitude towards those who cannot help themselves. Please Continue to Speak Out.
Well Done.

A worthy cause for sure.

I have had the pleasure of working briefly with SAINTS, and witnessing first hand the work Carol and her volunteer's.  It is truly inspiring.   Such kind and loving hearts, those at SAINTS deserve this, and so much more!

did you actually cast a vote?  it is kinda hard this time but it can be done...hopefully saints will win!
