Each week I share information about an affiliate partner making a difference. This week it’s Wild Blue Animal Rescue & Sanctuary!

Wild Blue uses a natural approach to our interaction with animals; we believe in working to communicate with our animals in a way that is natural to the animals. In essence, we try to learn their language, rather than only expecting them to learn ours.

At Wild Blue, we believe in developing respect, compassion and leadership in people though caring for God’s creatures. Our volunteer program is based on this tenet. We also hope to lead the animals that come to us through respect and compassion, and then facilitate the help they can give back to people, particularly those with disabilities or emotional conditions. For example, we know that Equine Assisted Therapy can help soldiers returning from the War on Terror cope with PTSD, and we believe that Pet Therapy using cats and dogs can help children with Autism or senior citizens suffering from loneliness. Put simply, it is our ultimate goal to help animals as they help us.
