Animal rescue is not a job… it’s a passion.

Over the years Scottish veterinary nurse Susan Clark has rescued and nursed opossums following dog attacks, squirrels and rabbits after cat attacks, has saved rattle snakes caught in chicken wire and coyotes off the boulevard. Along with the wildlife there have been countless occasions to help along wayward dogs and cats with over sixty homeless kitties passing through her hands and on to fine homes.
     
"One of the hardest parts of helping the domestic animals is learning that you can't keep them all."  But the exception sometimes proves the rule. While Susan was attending animal science classes at Pierce College a year ago, a tiny hour old orphaned kitten needed special medical attention and handling. It was necessary for Susan to nurse her through three close brushes with death resulting from her weakness and compromised immune system. The thoughts of finding another home for this scrapper diminished as the weeks progressed and she imprinted on her husband Ken, who has become her... well, her Mom!  She has survived, growing from the size of one's thumb into a wonderful healthy member of the family.
