"Once in a Lifetime"

All my life I have dreamed of being able to make a difference for the innocent dogs that have been beaten, neglected, and abused. Just because they are dogs, it does not suddenly become morally acceptable to treat them in an inhumane way. Dogs are the most common victims of animal cruelty, and reported abuse against pit bull-type dogs has been on the rise the past few years. There are hundreds, possibly thousands of cases related to animal abuse that go unreported. In the U.S. only, approximately 3.9 million dogs are entered into animal shelters and 1.2 million are euthanized. The number of stray dogs cannot be counted, but one stray dog is one too many. Animal abuse statistics show a depressing scenario when it comes to the suffering of animals at the hands of a man.

            For my “once in a lifetime” I choose to transform the lives of the innocent. I would travel to various destinations to find dogs that are in need of assistance and tend to their individual needs. Often times, pregnant female dogs are kicked out because the owner does not want to take care of the litter. To prevent these situations, all dogs will be spayed or neutered. Once the dogs seem ready to be given a new home, they will be put up for adoption. Potential owners will be put through a thorough investigation to determine whether or not they are fit to take care of this dog. Once the family has been determined eligible to adopt the dog, they will be able to take it home. The goal of this project would be to have various locations where one will be able to relocate dogs into homes where they know they will not be neglected, beaten and abused.

  2. Wow Tamar! Your post was so full of emotion. I am with you when you say that these unattended thrown out dogs need a place to live and stay. Once I get my own place to stay I will adopt a dog myself. I commend you for spending your voyage where you can have as much money as you have on helping innocent and injured dogs. Great post!

  6. Tamar, everyone wrote about how they are going to travel and enjoy their "once in a lifetime" experience while you used that opportunity to be self-less and do something beneficial for someone other than yourself. That shows alot about your personality. It shows your strength and your loving side. I enjoyed reading this blog post because of how unique it was. Good job!

  8. Tamar this is truly such a wonderful idea! Your love of dogs is shown through this heart-warming blog post. Everytime I watch one of those commercials with all the cute dogs beaten up by their owners, it brings me to tears. This sounds like a great cause and it would decrease the number of dogs left alone on streets with bruises or broken bones. Good work!

  9. Tamar, I find it very humble of you to use your once in a lifetime opportunity to perform beneficent acts. The problem seems to be one you are extremely passionate about and, as a result, success is inevitable. You began with an informative introductory paragraph, and concluded with a detailed plan.
