Better Days Animal League

Better Days Animal League is a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal rescue organization located in south central Pennsylvania. We were established in the Summer of 2007 and since that date have helped to rescue and re-home countless animals in need.

While we work closely with local government and other local rescue organizations in our mission to be a voice for animals, we rely on donations to do so.

Our Mission: Dedicated to the principle that all life must be treated with value, dignity, and respect.

Our Vision: Determined to prevent abuse and neglect through education on the proper and responsible care of animals. Devoted to raising public awareness on the importance of spaying and neutering to limit unwanted animals. Driven to create a healthier and kinder community for humans and animals alike. Dutiful in the encouragement of kindness toward all animals.

I Rescued a Human Today

Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her.

I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn’t be afraid. As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident I had in the back of my cage. I didn’t want her to know that I hadn’t been walked today. Sometimes the overworked shelter keepers get too busy and I didn’t want her to think poorly of them.

As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn’t feel sad about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someone’s life.

She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship. A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well.

Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms.

I would promise to keep her safe.
I would promise to always be by her side.
I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes.

I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor. So many more are out there who haven't walked the corridors. So many more to be saved. At least I could save one.

I rescued a human today.
