Is 'Ginger' Your Next Family Member?

Is there room in your home and heart for Ginger? She was rescued from a shelter on the day she was to be put down. 

You can meet Ginger at where Eleventh Hour Rescue will hold a pet adoption event on Sat., Aug. 13 from noon to 4 p.m. Here's how the group describes its work:

"Eleventh Hour Rescue is made up of dedicated individuals who believe that innocent pets deserve love and a place to live where they are honored and cared for. No dog deserves to die simply because it does not have a home. We rescue dogs at their Eleventh Hour--when they are scheduled to be put to death by shelters that can no longer care for them. We give the dogs all the medical attention they require, a place to live, and through our adoption services, a second chance at a happy and fulfilled life. We are affiliated with many like-minded animal groups throughout the United States."

"If we can bring comfort to just one, we will. If we can save just one life, we will. The stories we read and each dog's story is heart-wrenching, the numbers of those we can't help are overwhelming, and every day we are haunted by the faces of those we can't save. We cannot stop. We will not stop, until all of the cages are empty."
