The Heroes' Animal Rescue!

Bella: Since cats are my favorite animals, Alfred lets me work with them when I’m on duty. It takes a lot of time working with the feral cats that come in, sure, but I don’t mind doing whatever means necessary to help them all eventually warm up to people. In the end though, it always seems to work out.

Bella: Of course, Lovino likes to come in during his shifts to help me with whatever he can, including socializing some of our furry friends.

Arthur: I suppose it would be proper to introduce my wife to the lot of you. This is Marianne, and while we do tend to have our moments where we argue like cats and dogs so to speak, she can be rather lovely. As well as quite supportive of me and my work, to my surprise.

Ame: Gosh this one time, when I was pregnant with Care…

Yeah, he came over right after that. To this day I still give them both crap about what happened back then.

(*Bonus*)

Amelia: Alfred found him over by the dumpster whenever we were getting gas for his truck on our way back from lunch. Tigger was so friendly to us when we approached him that we just couldn’t let him stay where he was. I know he’s got his little ways of misbehaving here and there but he’s been really sweet to everyone who comes in to work or look for a pet.

Alfred: We actually work with the police a bit when it comes to some of the animals who get a lot more aggressive when they’re distrustful.

Gilbert and Ludwig are brothers. They tend to work more with the animal control portion of the police, and they’re really good at working with animals who might bite if they feel like they’re being threatened when rescued. 

What I think is really cool is when there’s a dog or cat that tries to make a break for it, they’ll send either Ludwig’s German Shepherd Sigmund or Gilbert’s White Shepherd Falk to go after them so that way they can get ‘em in a corner and keep them there until Gil or Ludwig can get there to put the dog or cat in a cage.

We get some of the sweetest animals that people just drop off to fend for themselves, or people just leave them here because they all of a sudden don’t want them anymore, and as much as we love animals around here, seeing that is really heartbreaking. I mean, even with some difficult dogs or cats coming in now and again, to me the longer they’re there the more chances you have to bond with them because eventually, yeah, they’ll warm up to you.
