Noah the Dove
(story sent in email)

These little bunnies, about 6 days old, were attacked by a dog and orphaned. Two out of the litter of five did not survive, and these three were not doing very well.

Noah is a non-releasable, one-legged homing pigeon/rock dove that is in the rehab centre. Noah kept going over to the bunny cage and looking in -- even sleeping in front of the door to the cage.

Then, suddenly, there were only two bunnies in the cage. But when Noah moved a bit from the front of the cage to everyone's surprise...there was the tiny bunny...under Noah's wing...sound asleep! That little bunny rabbit had crawled through the cage, preferring a featherbed, no doubt.

Now, they are all together and the bunnies are doing GREAT. When the bunnies scoot underneath Noah's feathers, he carefully extends his wings out to surround them and then they snuggle. When one of them moves and they start sticking out here and there, he gently pushes them back under him with his beak! It is beautiful and amazing to see...

We are Bob and Georganne Lenham of Wild Rose Rescue Ranch in Texas , home of Noah the Pigeon. After finding many posts online featuring Noah and the bunnies and reading about the many lives he has touched (his story has been forwarded around the world) we thought we'd post a follow-up and a few new photos. We knew there was something special about Noah the moment we saw him. Although the bunnies seem to be his favorite, Noah helps out with many rescue babies here at the Wild Rose Rescue Ranch... Noah's first litter of bunnies, almost raised and ready for release.
Now, Noah helps out with many rescue babies here at the ranch... How wonderful it is to have a full-time soft-feathered nurturer here at the rescue ranch! He cuddles with all the babies as they snuggle under his warm feathers....and he "coos" as if singing them to sleep with a lullaby. Noah is truly, truly a God-send.
He will cover you with His feathers And under His wings you will find refuge. Psalm 91:4

Winter 2009 Animal Welfare Society of Monroe County ("AWSOM") re-opened the SPCA shelter in early November and in no time was full to capacity. Most rescue groups in the area are full and overflowing. Why are people moving and not taking their pets with them? Too often people forget what pets can do for us. Scientific research shows that petting an animal reduces blood pressure and that cardiac patients who leave the hospital to go home to a pet recover faster. Children who are exposed to animals early in life are less likely to suffer from allergies later on. Plus, a pet can teach a child responsibility and compassion, can provide a lonely senior citizen with a reason to get up in the morning and can bring joy and life to an "empty nest". A sampling of some of the horrifying rescues we have dealt with this year:

A 6 month old beautiful orange boy with a fish hook stuck in his eye. Thankfully it did not penetrate and his eye was saved - now adopted;
Six kittens were left on the ground at the Salvation Army drop off boxes in Mt. Pocono. By the time we were called, maggots had infested them. 2, still alive, were so badly eaten they had to be euthanized, one had leukemia and was put down, two died after a day at the vet, the last one, Sally, is alive and well, all the maggots in her were flushed out - soon to be spayed and up for adoption.
One crawled out of a dumpster on 447 when one of our volunteers was disposing her trash - now adopted.
Another dumpster kitten, this one from the Wendy's on 447. Not big enough to be neutered yet, possible distemper coming out, being treated.
Then there were those who abandoned their cats inside and outside of PetSmart, left them in their houses when they moved, or just threw them out and we got countless calls for strays.

From January to mid-November we rescued approximately 327 and adopted 245. All this costs money.

If you are in a position to do so, a tax-deductible donation would be most welcome. Also welcome would be donations of towels for cages, paper towels, food and litter.

Our thanks go to all the wonderful animal lovers who have given their hearts and homes to ACT rescues; to our caring veterinarians at Creature Comforts and their staff who always go above and beyond for us, and to all our dedicated volunteers who take such loving care of our cats. With best wishes for a happy, safe and prosperous New Year.
