Mission Possible...

Hi Everyone!
After reading several books, researching, and networking I finally have my steps down (I think). First off what is my purpose and mission. Right now I am having challenges in completing my mission statement. I have had several drafts of mission statements over the years (Side note: this has been 5 years in the making  for an opportunity allow me to get to this point).  However after meeting with a non profit attorney, whom I have had the opportunity to intern with a few years back; has given me some guidance and suggestions. It turns out my mission statement(s) may not work for the 501C 3 status I am aiming for.
I guess I should start from the beginning. My goal is to be able to operate a non profit animal rescue down the line that aides in the rescue of high kill shelters, pounds, etc. Currently I am working on building a non profit that will benefit animal rescues, by way of resources and eventually build into an animal rescue. In a nutshell the idea is to have vending machines to collect resources for animal rescues.  This idea also allows me time for other things in life; family, work, and time to obtain space, resources and efforts to build a rescue shelter.  However the idea becomes too much like a foundation (more stringent paper work and more difficult to get started from what I have researched).  In order to steer away from a foundation I have to coordinate a service with it. I have brainstormed buying resources with the funds (no go)and offering the funds to go to a direct service. However with research and guidance this will not work either.   My brainstorms continue with several other ideas, but I want to stay on the track of what my ultimate goal is-a rescue down the line. Brainstorms to be continued... 

On another note, IF I had to choose a favorite breed, it would be the Pit bull due to such great misunderstandings and misconceptions they endure. All in all they are just sweet babies!!!! :) Here are two of my babies, Leche and Jasmine awwww....but I LOVE ALL dogs!   :)

Beginning with PASSION

Hi Everyone! 
This is my first blog ever!  I am greener then green about blogging.  I am not very creative nor tech savvy, however I wanted to start blogging to network, learn more and most of all share with people on what I love so much- DOGS.  And helping wherever and whatever I can for dogs and  the society that they live in.  

 I have had this long term goal (5 years counting), plan if you will, of building a non profit that benefits animal rescues and I would like to share these steps, experiences, ups and downs, and all the moments in between about my journey to chase these dreams and goals into reality.  I have made major changes in my life to get to this point.  I recently had the opportunity and made the decision to go further with this goal.  It's now, not later anymore!  I resigned from my FT career as a social worker to pursue this other side of non profits, the side where you start from the ground up and may be unsure of the journey, however can be sure of the destination.  The destination that will be that I tried my very best to accomplish this goal and hope that in the end I do.   I hope you  all will follow me in this journey!  I look forward to talking with you, learning from you and most of all spreading the word out there that dogs ARE great, beautiful, loving, trusting, innocent creatures who deserve our voices to help them be heard and our love to help them live.  Thank you!  Here goes..... :)
