UPDATE: Ever since Rosie passed, we had our eyes on the neighbors property that has three great buildings on two acres so as to create Rosegate. We've been excited about creating something good and big for senior pets that can give home for a couple dozen dogs or so and many more cats. We saved our money, opened up some donation pages, got the 501(c)3 status and even an old friend told us that she will help us out with a big chunk of money which didn't happened either. Only the owner of that property, an old farmer who didn't seem like he cared anything about this dream. We tried to get closer by being friendly with him and see if he had any interest but he was only going to talk about farming; corn, soy and spraying said crops. Some complaining about the industry and equipment but no other topics held his considerations.
The dream was shattered in pieces. Our big dream was gone. Well, at least the big part of it.
Maybe he will never sell his property to us or he could live longer than us but there's no time to waste. So, we decided to stop dreaming and start doing. We saved money to install the fence on our own 3 acres of property. We are small and limited to the number of animals we can take in.
Not only do we have to make sure that all the animals can get along
but we also have to share our living space with them and thus, keeping our own sanity. Unfortunately we had to refuse a few potential residents due to this reason. We just can not hoard them all up in our small home.
We are still hoping that we can inspire some people around the world. If they have some property and an extra building, then that and a desire to give senior pets a forever home, is all that is required. Big or small dreams... helping those who need it is a great feelings...........
